New Samsung Ads Poke Fun at Apple Live Stream Issues, iPhone 6 and Apple Watch

I'm not sure Samsung can grasp this but here it is... when you purchase something from a company, you are identifying with that company on some level. Generally people who purchase from Apple, acquire or expect to have some level of social association with Apple. The Apple persona is smart, trendy, young, etc. Maybe a bit cocky, but generally trying to help others.

The Samsung persona is sort of like that kid in high school that is constantly trying to be like the other cool kids and is loud and obnoxious. Nobody really likes him, except the other people who don't fit in with the hip and socially adjusted crowd. This kid cheats on all his tests and claims he can perform feats of athletics and sexual prowess beyond anyone else's expectations.

But really, he's just a sore loser. A sad, sad, sad waste of a being.

Now... who would you want to associate with?

or

Apple : Elitist
Samsung : copycat

You may find that more than anyone, its Apple customers that have a desire to be cool. Getting an Apple product = instant cool factor.

Apple ain't helping anyone, they are in it to make $$$$. And they are very good at it.

Its the vain customers, and thier appreciation of Apples cool design and image that makes them flock to the company. Look how huge the gold iphone was in asia, it was an status symbol.

Haha, I'm a huge Apple fan but I was laughing. People take these things too seriously. I'm also an iSheep but I don't care. If the grass was greener at Samsung I'd eat their grass. But, Samsung makes crap and the ecosystem is a joke. Doesn't mean we can't laugh at the commercials though. :D

you're talking about it aren't you? then the ad is working. if they didn't do the ad, you wouldn't talk about samsung at all

they have actually turned all Apple fanboys into walking, talking, advertisements for the Samsung brand. i bet many send out the link to that youtube channel and say "haha check out this crap"...and that person then forwards it on to a bunch of people

Does anything more need to be said?
 
This is so upsetting and sad. **** like this makes me hate this planet and the mess of a society we have created.

Apple let us down big time with the stream though. They directed all traffic to it for a whole day, then failed at delivering.

True... the stream was a complete failure.

But it's not like the message was totally lost.

I'm pretty sure anyone on the planet with access to the internet, a TV or even a newspaper knows that Apple announced new products yesterday.

So let me get this straight: Samsung is now making fun of larger phones, the iWatch (which didn't their CEO pretty much say they started developing a watch to compete against Apple's rumored watch?), while also making fun of how Apple's event was so popular it broke the Internet? Ok Samsung. Okaaay.

You can bet that some Samsung "engineer" clown is already trying to figure out how they can make their own Digital Crown, Taptic Engine, and revolutionary new home screen navigation. Expect similar bands too except cheap knockoffs with fake leather and poor chain work.

Wow you really didn't get the point of the ads at all. And can we get some sources on any of those claims? Who's to say who started making a smartwatch first? Doesn't really matter because Apple was second to market. They were making fun at the fact that apple was making a big deal of how revolutionary having a bigger screen on an iphone was but android has had bigger screens and has biggers screens with higher pixel density.

Don't get me wrong its a nice step up for the iphone and the watch looks beautiful though I have a feeling most people will forgo using the crown to zoom and scroll. It's very awkward to use a crown on your wrist. I think it will be easier to use the tap to zoom and a finger to scroll. Even the guy doing the presentation seemed to favour that method.

But apple seems to keep skimping and delaying on some of the hardware. how about an extra gig of ram and higher pixel density screen to equal or better the competition? For the price of these phones I expect some better specs that are very attainable today.

Damn. These people are quick... Maybe they should focus their effort towards making their hardware better rather than... This.
Click to expand...

Maybe a little too quick.

To get a video like that out you are looking at a couple of days for pre production, filming and editing, legal etc. Not something you do in 6 hours.

Funny that they have this video ready to go straight after the live stream that gets DDOS'd, almost like they knew it was going to happen ahead of time.

Then again, their crazy marketing seems to have worked so far. I like Android, but gosh I hate Samsung.

The Daily Show, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, etc., all get stuff of similar quality out with quick turnaround.

But it doesn't do anything to make me want to buy a Jimmy Fallon Watch or a Jon Stewart phone. Samsung has yet to achieve any cachet as a brand. People buy their phones because they can't afford Apple or hate Apple. These ads reinforce that.

Leading brands don't knock the second-place brand. They don't have to.
 
Dear Samsung
Instead of making juvenile ads mocking our technology, if you would be so kind to send the check you owe us for patent infringement in the amount of $930,000,000.00, I would greatly appreciate it.

All the best,

Samsung: "if you can't beat them, then just talk trash about them."

Hey Samsung, maybe you wouldn't have to report loses if you spent more time on your products than watching every move Apple does.
 
Jeez everyone forget the long ongoing series of mac vs pc ads? It's pretty much the same thing making fun of the competition. It's clever and apple has done it too. Have a laugh or not but get over it.

Apple worked hard to earn this criticism. However no one cares about whatever it is Samsung announces so....they might find themselves in a similar situation if people cared to watch their announcements.

Talk, itself, is not the goal, and that's all that is happening here. Talk, about how Samsung might have made valid points, that's the goal and I don't think that's happening here at all.
