Next? 1998 is next? That's when he did "A Night at the Roxbury" based on an SNL skit.

He also appeared in other SNL-based movies like "SuperStar" and "The Ladies Man."

However, apparently you missed him in movies like "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "Zoolander" among others.
 
How can you get to these ads through Apple?

I watched them both with the links from here, but can't seem to find them by perusing Apple's site. I did a search and all that, but I get nothing, and I'm more or less sure that I'm not completely stupid, so, can anyone help me? I'd love nothing more than to hear that I can't find them through Apple because of my own ignorance.

Well, there isn't much about apple in them but thats OK. They
aren't even that funny but thats OK. All in all, I think they are
just OK. Now I need a smilie that isn't smiling or frowning. A
Straight faced smilie.

Replying to a few posts....

Celebrity Jeopardy is a riot. I have about 8 of the clips in mpg format a friend snagged off kazaa/Neo and it was great to see them all again.

If you download a quicktime reference movie and pop that open in Textedit or something else textual, you will find an href for the actual Quicktime movie. Failing that, copy from your cache/Temp Internet Files like someone else suggested.

The "ads" are linked to only from Apple's Hot News page, maybe because they don't want them officially considered Switch ads, but Will's page does reside in the /switch/ directory...
 
Ha, ha. It is to laugh....

Mildly humorous, but our "family friendly" computer company would never air an "ass" or even a "porn star" (which was funnier than either of these).

Ferrell's going to get sued by some mentally challenged ("Retards" to those who can't read PC) for stealing their act. I personally prefer clever to moronic, but hey, that's just me! ;-)

Not a Will Ferrell fan...

... but these were pretty funny.

Not worthy of airtime, mind you, but it's nice to see some humour on the Apple site.

And, for what it's worth, The videos ran on a Mac _and_ PeeCee WITHOUT QT Pro... Right from the page.... <shrugs>

Phil Hartman died a couple years after leaving SNL. He was doing News Radio at the time.

Uh, yeah. I know that. I just happened to stop watching around the same time period. Sorry, I know I should have been more clear, but It was sort of a rushed post.

I think it just depressed me that I'd never see him on SNL again.

He was good as a host that one time.


I too wonder what got edited out.
 
I saw the one debuted at MWNY, good as usual. Hope to see more of him soon, maybe as a New Years baby. 2nd thought could be father time, announce that Mac OS 9 will no longer be bootable, seen it time!
 
Ferrell is funny, no doubt.

iPod Santa is good.

Santa & lawyers starts out great but dies at the end, IMHO.

It would be nice to have Will do a live deal at a conference (or has he done that already?).
 
WILL IS THE FUNNIEST MAN ALIVE!!!

I can't see those being aired as regular commercials, but I'd like to see them on SNL as one of thier porody commercials. That'd be good.

Madonna is getting old these days, when kids see it nobody's going to buy mac!
