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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

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."

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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