My wife saw it for the first time tonight on TV. She spit out a whole mouthfull of tea.

..."what's up. PC home movie.". LOL.

 

[Willis]

"whats with the big boy clothes?"

love that line. along with the others.

"whats up.. pc home movie"

Hahaha, great ads! I liked them all, but Self Pity is my favorite. 😀

 

[Willis]

Why don't they show these in the U.K?....and also the new nano ad ; it hasn't been aired in the U.K either.🙁

Ive seen one of the Get a Mac ad's. It was the Better ad I believe. Was a few months back.

The iPod Ad's usually come out a month or two after being aired in the US. Bob Dylan was out around WWDC in the states, but it's only really been shown here in the last 2 weeks.

Does new ads mean new macs??? I mean the ad shows an iMAc @ the end not a fancy new macbook/pro 🙁

 

[vniow]

I think that the Better Results ad was offensive, as it crossed the line implicating that being a biological female with emphasized femininity is superior to being a biological male who is transsexual.

I think its pretty obvious that its meant to be seen as a man in a dress and not a transsexual. I'm trans and I don't see it as offensive. Didn't find it as funny as most of the posters here but not offensive. The ads that involve transgender people and some sort of deception on the other hand do get me a bit hot-headed though.

the new ads will be the end of mac guy and pc guy. 😎

I'm pretty sure most transvestites that wear dresses would shave/wax/otherwise remove their chest hair before going out in public. 😉

 

[macman2790]

i think the new ads are just overdoing it.

 

[OdduWon]

they have hit rock bottom and gone to counseling, the new mac guy vs pc guy ads will end us.

 

[iMeowbot]

You know I've never once seen a single one of these Get a Mac ads on TV (UK)

You probably never will see most of them on TV. The ASA codes don't leave much room to have fun with comparisons.

they have hit rock bottom and gone to counseling, the new mac guy vs pc guy ads will end us.

This is the one I like best of the new batch. It's about time that Apple dumped a little on the "toy computer" line.

 

[amols]

I thought she said "Hi, I am mac humvee..."

Started to think, hmm wonder what this mac humvee is, curious why we have not heard about this before.

not everyone can speak in american accent. At least she is speaking in English. Can you speak Portuguese (her language) ??

 

[OdduWon]

the mac guy is cooler that pc guy thing is old already. it's like when you affend someone and then you say something stupid to try to make up for it but that affends them to so you keep trying till Pc is on the floor walking in circles making /a: drive noises.

 

[Sesshi]

There's something about all these ads which bug me. They're too 'cute'. Too overtly holier-than-thou-look-at-me-I'm-cool Apple (Surely not the representative democratic? Say it ain't so! 😛 ). Don't really like any of them that much to be honest. I like the actors in them though.

 

[IlluminatedSage]

they were pretty funny. getting better.

and ohhh Gisele! babY!

but the funny part is the show was stolen by the guy in drag

Fixed.

"no female movie and zune colored siut make Pc go something, something..."

 

[dpaanlka]

I think they're definitely getting better.

The "just lie here and depreciate" joke is obviously aimed towards those of us who buy older Macs frequently 😀

 

[redAPPLE]

Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but why go down that path?

maybe because they are going for the lightheartedness of things? i like that portrait than seeing a real gal but has the likeliness of a man.

my all time favorite is still the one with the virus.

 

[Macnoviz]

You may hate them but Apple obviously thinks they are working well and I assume they must be since they keep making more. I'm sure they would have stopped by now if the campaign was bombing. I know several people who are PC users who like the ads and think they are funny.

They made them all in one batch, some twenty ads or so, at least that's what the Mac guy said

Excellent stuff! 😀
Of course Better Results was good, but Self Pitty was even better. I'm glad they told about Office.

Indeed, although I think it is awkward that a product from the competition is their selling point, something a PC is even better at, I hope that in a few years it won't be "Macs can use Zune, too"

A more direct analogy might have been two transsexuals, a PC one who didn't put any effort or style into it, and a Mac one who did. Using a REAL female on the Mac side is just cheating! 🙂

How about two females?

 

[steelfist]

better results is my favorite. not sure if it's Gisele Bündchen, the humor, or the advertizing about macs being better at movie creation.

second place is the self-pity one. to realize that what you thought you have is special is actually a talent that your rival has really is depressing.

Wow, I really had to read that sentence 3 times. Then again, English is only my second language (after Dutch, but before French and German)
