If you’ve ever wondered what trying too hard looks like, take a gander at this:
Wow! I mean…wow. What the fuck were they thinking? THIS is the “I’m a Mac” killer? Seriously? Let’s break it down.
90’s TV star is walking through a mall. He sees Bill Gates shopping at a discount shoe store.
Get it? He’s a billionaire! Shopping at a cheap-ass shoes store. Ha!
Jerry and Bill talk about stuff that is not funny and has nothing to do with computers.
See how creative we are. We are so out there, we don’t even talk about our product.
Bill says that he is a platinum card member of the discount shoe store.
Cheap Billionaire=Comic Gold
The picture on the card is Bill’s mug shot from his college days.
Now that is funny.
Bill and Jerry leave the mall. Jerry mumbles weird shit about computer that are tasty. Bill adjusts his shorts to indicate that the tasty computers are on the way.
We are so cool. Those Mac commercials actually talk about what there computes do and why they’re better. We are so hip we don’t even mention our OS by name. Surfers RULE!
In conclusion, I’d have to say it’s the most effective computer commercial since the Mac 1984 Superbowl ad. I don’t know about you, but it makes me want to run out and buy a Powerbook today. I am terrified that I have entrusted my photos and music to the boneheads who approved this spot!
Note: Adhack is NOT a Mac fanboy! He is writing this post on a PC.

Just the subtle Gatesian wedgie-shuffle at the end made me want to download Safari.
But I didn't. Because I'm master of my domain.
Try the veal.
I can't believe I forgot to mention that it's :90 long! What? You couldn't fit all that good advertising in a :60?
It's boring and I was left with a distinct after taste of "is that it"?
