The popping of the cable is pretty effective too. These ads are getting better.

Salty · Aug 28, 2006, 05:18 AM

Didn't like the one with the evil and good PCs. But I did like the trusting mac and the power chord one.

demograph68 · Aug 28, 2006, 09:55 AM

Justin Long does a good job at acting condescending. I love John Hodgman. They should have switched them around.

I like the other two. And I like the PC more than the Mac.

Gossamer · Aug 28, 2006, 03:18 PM

I like these.

Salty · Aug 28, 2006, 05:02 PM

The one complaint I've heard is that because John Hodgeman is really good... some people identify with him hahaha... which is kinda sad.

(3) new "Get a Mac" ads were posted today...

Apple - Get a Mac

Weezer · Oct 9, 2006, 05:54 PM

wow, they could have picked a model that could speak english.

TheoCryst · Oct 9, 2006, 06:51 PM

The counseling one was sub-par, in my opinion. I still don't like the fact that Apple keeps harping on the creative aspect of the Mac platform. That being said, I loved "Self-Pity". It's about time that they mention that Macs are, in fact, viable in a work environment.

EDIT: 600! Three-fifths of the way to my green stars!

andi*pandi · Oct 9, 2006, 07:21 PM

teehee... "big boy clothes"

I don't know if the iMovie one really plays.

Jawbone54 · Oct 9, 2006, 07:40 PM

I liked Self Pity and the Better Results one wasn't bad. Counseling...eh...

MindFad · Oct 10, 2006, 10:12 AM

I lawled at the Counsellor one.

euchomai · Oct 10, 2006, 10:14 AM

I thought the were all great, the home movie one make me laugh out loud. Good stuff!

- - e r i k - - · Oct 11, 2006, 08:11 PM

Counseling was sub-par. The other two were good. Home movie a bit obvious, but nice end comment.

Jim Paradise · Oct 11, 2006, 08:58 PM

I'm ashamed to admit that I laughed at the Better Results ad. It gets the nod as my current favourite, although I think the Counselor ad gets right at what most Mac vs. PC debates start off as.

And all the ads are sure a hell of a lot better than Jeff Goldblum trying to get people interested in a Mac.

But but! Teh email!

andi*pandi · Oct 11, 2006, 10:01 PM

what I like about them, and I think works, is that PC and Mac appear to be friends. Anyone who thinks the Mac is condescending is perhaps... projecting.

ajprice · Oct 12, 2006, 04:50 AM

I like them, had a look at the new ones and PC has some good one liners (Whats with the big boy clothes?...), also went back to the cardboard boxes one that I hadn't seen, liked the bit when PC says 'The rest of me is in some other boxes, I'll catch you later...'.

These adverts aren't on TV in the UK (not that I've seen anyway), so the only way I get them is through the website.

ajprice · 10:32 AM

3 new ones out.. 'Gift Exchange', 'Sales Pitch' and 'Meant for Work'.Rumours of Mac's death were definitely not true, J-Long is still there.

Best line... "I'm crying myself to sleep mode."

OwlBoy · Nov 28, 2006, 09:57 AM

PC owned. "have to listen to emo music…" lol.

-Owl

- - e r i k - - · Nov 28, 2006, 10:24 AM

I didn't quite get the last one. The two other's were good though.

MindFad · Nov 28, 2006, 10:29 AM

"I have to go listen some emo." Hahahahaha.

kikkoman · Nov 28, 2006, 11:09 AM

mac guy needs a haircut

Gossamer · Nov 28, 2006, 11:17 AM

I liked the gift exchange, sales pitch was kind of weak, and the last one made me smile.

Salty · Nov 28, 2006, 01:04 PM

I killed myself when I heard the emo line...

So freaking funny. So appropriate too. I can't count the number of emo kids I know who all want Macs but complain about their parents PCs that they have to use.

Oversoul · Nov 28, 2006, 01:06 PM

Anyone notice how few lines Mac guy had relative to PC guy?

ajprice · Feb 6, 2007, 10:28 AM

New ad "Security".

Apple - Get a Mac.

Getting another dig in there at Vista.

tkmd · Feb 6, 2007, 11:39 AM

This "cancel or allow " posted today is by far the best- and sooo true! No wonder Billy Gates was less than thrilled when asked to compare Vista's security to Macs.

JoshuaZ · Feb 6, 2007, 11:53 AM

Must we forget our brothers in the far east?

アップル - Macをはじめよう

Come on. The Japanese PC is just so super... well.. silly dorky. As opposed to the almost pathetic dorkyness quality that the other two have most of the time. Gotta love that outfit in the Japanese Security video.

mdc · Feb 6, 2007, 12:16 PM

I like the new security one. It's funny because it's true.

Gossamer · Feb 6, 2007, 01:04 PM

"Security" is the first one that has actually made me laugh out loud

tboparis · Apr 12, 2007, 03:51 AM

There are 2 new ones: Flashback and Computer Cart.
Flashback is pretty fun.

Big Mac · Apr 12, 2007, 03:56 AM

I haven't seen Flashback yet, but I like Computer Cart.

Atheist · Apr 12, 2007, 08:20 AM

I think the Mac v. PC ads have run their course. It's time for something new. I thought these last two (Flashback and Computer Cart) were unimaginative and boring.

You're right. The new ad proves it (Stuffed).

Boring.

rickey939 · Aug 3, 2007, 11:31 PM

Are these ads still being run? There hasn't been a new one in awhile now.
