Apparently it's not that easy to make them actually funny, though.

I always liked those switch parodies better. I think a lot of them are on youtube.

The crack ones were kind of funny, but too long. The others were just laaaaame.

Well let's look at the points they try to make:
1. Macs aren't good for businesses/work/jobs
Ask any graphic designer, movie editer, etc. and they'll tell you they use nothing but Macs.
2. PCs can be Media Center PCs capable of recording and pausing live TV.
So can Macs. Very very few PCs come with a tuner/encoder card, and it's just as easy to get something like that for the Mac. There's a guy a few doors down on my dorm floor that doesn't have a TV, he just uses his 17" MBP and eyeTV.
3. There are Tablet PCs.
This is a niche market that Apple hasn't/won't enter. According to some numbers I found, tablet PCs are barely more than 1% of laptop PCs sold, so it wouldn't make any business sense for Apple to enter such a small market.
Only the last one is a valid point, and it's very weak.

There is a company that retrofits touchscreens into Macs. I can't remember what it is called, though.

I liked the part where they claimed you can't use Macs for serious graphics work and that you'd want a Tablet PC for that.

I didn't know that. That would explain why it is the closest one to fair.

Have we seen these from truenuff?
TrueNuff TV!
The "Performance" one was funny. (The black guy is a Macbook Pro.)

OK this one was mildly amusing
http://youtube.com/watch?v=DcoWYY9G5_Y
But the rest.. too weird and violent. Those ads with the used-car salesman and the coked-out woman were just painfully lacking in humor. Icky.

voodoo, check out the one I posted right before yours from TruNuff. The only one I watched was, "Performance" but it was worth a laff.
