Macboy Spoofs the New Apple Commercials

Spock the Baptist writes "A big plate of, fresh from the oven, homemade chocolate chip cookies to the person or persons who dreamed up this send-up of Cousin Bill via a spoof of the current crop of Apple commercials. Gotta love it!" Sure, why not? It's Friday! Also included are commercials with the You're Gettin' a Dell dork and Big Brother from the 1984 commercial.

Who thinks the switch ads are good?

I'm not sure if its me or typical Apple-loving by their fans but I've heard some people call this marketing campaign as brilliant. I don't see it.

Now I'm not any kind of professional ad critic but what I've seen from the commercials is "Hello, I'm a looser but I bought a Mac so things are looking up."

First, who's going to believe an Apple ad that Apple computers are easier/better to use? I mean, personally, I'd much rather believe that cow.

Second, why do these ad characters seem so stressed to me? The guy in glasses has that strange look in his face that says something like "dude, I have to vomit."

I've heard people describe marketing campaigns as brilliant before -- but maybe some people just love being advertised to?

I used to use a PC. It was fine, except that it crashed all too often. I will give a real world example as to how I hated Windows, so all you faithful /. folks won't go into the 'troll' and 'give evidence you fag man' train of thought. Towards the end of my PC days, I used to play UO. Now, when you are hunting Drakes, it is important not to crash. Drakes take some strategy to kill, and when my machine freezes while I am flanking right, things go bad. You log back in after a restart dead, and in the middle of nowhere, with all of your items looted. There is my example. I love my Mac because it works. Sorry, I do not use baseball card collector software, or bass fishing, or cross-stitching, I think the people that do those things do not use computers for them at all. I live in Southeast Texas, I know rednecks and fishing, people that are real fishermen do not use computers to aid them. They drink beer and talk about fishing with their buddies on the front porch in lawn chairs. I use my Mac to do all of my unix things from my linux days, I use it to do all of my imaging things like Photoshop, all of my web things like reading /. and checking up on news, and all of my movie editing. It works better than my PC, I have found all of the applications I need for it, and they work better than the PC versions, in my opinion. iTunes is the best music software I have ever used, I love it dearly. So, IMHO, my Mac is the greatest computer I have ever used. Now, faithful Windows sheep, flame away.
