Apple Mac/PC Ads With a UK Twist

Posted by kdawson on from the python-would-be-proud dept.

leppi writes "Japanese isn't the only language barrier Apple's decided to cross with its 'I'm a Mac, I'm a PC' ads. Those Brits love their 'shenanigans and tomfoolery' just as much as the next guy. Watch the Peep Show's Mitchell and Webb do the honors as PC and Mac, respectively."

      Why link to the YouTube videos? http://www.apple.com/uk/getamac/ are higher quality and in a more relevant place...

    Are the ads funny? Yes.

    Are the ads true? ...not so much.

    Come on, these ads try to suggest that photo albums and videos/music are only available on the Mac. Please.

    For those left wondering, Peep Show is a British comedy from channel 4. If any of these ads even made you smirk I'd suggest watching an episode or two, they're fantastically original!

    No. They do suggest that this stuff is easier on a Mac. Which is true.

    Mitchell, and Webb, for the non-UKians here do a very funny show called Peep Show which I only found out a few months ago, and have been raving about ever since!
