  • Macgadgetguy, on 04/14/2009, -4/+27"I might be homeless, but I'm not retarded"... hilarious!
  • thelastcivilian, on 04/14/2009, -3/+14Even though I'm a Windows user, I can laugh at this.

    I still say they should build an entire campaign around Lauren though... /swoon
  • qeek, on 04/14/2009, -8/+19The best ad in the series so far.
  • compgeek, on 04/16/2009, -3/+12Windows Vista? This is *****!

    lmfao
  • highwebl, on 04/16/2009, -0/+8I liked it better when Microsoft gave people $1000 to hunt a MILF.
  • Dweller99, on 04/16/2009, -5/+12Apple fans sure did get all butthurt by that ad campaign didn't they?

    I own a Mac, but I also own PCs. If I had a budget of $1000,guess which side of the aisle I would be shopping on?
  • wardsac, on 04/16/2009, -0/+6I don't see what the problem is with the mom's quote?

    Kids are especially susceptible to "cool" and "in" advertising. When you're young you care a hell of a lot more about what others think about you than when you're older (at least in most cases). It's no different than if they were shopping for lunchboxes and she said "The Jonas Brothers are really popular at this age". The truth is, for better or worse, Apple is the "in" thing right now, and just so happens to cost more for the same features as some other brands. It's not a lot different than a mother trying to buy a pair of jeans for her teenage daughter and trying to convince her that the $20 pair of jeans is no different than the $80 pair of jeans at the "trendy" store that wreaks of too much cologne and ***** techno music.
  • nogami, on 04/16/2009, -1/+6I used to care about Mac vs. PC. I don't anymore. I use both for work and at home. Each have things they do "best".
  • slayerhk47, on 04/16/2009, -2/+7I think they found their new windows spokesperson
  • KawazoeMasahiro, on 04/15/2009, -8/+11"Is this plastic? I'm poor but I'm not retarded!"

    I'll remember this one all my life XD
  • wild, on 04/16/2009, -1/+3It would have been funny and more "biting" if it had done the same thing with a normal person. The homeless angle is just dumb.
  • duewydo, on 04/16/2009, -1/+3I like the part where he uses the laptop to cover his face. I never thought of using my old laptops for sleep time.
  • fragsta, on 04/16/2009, -0/+2I miss her too :(
  • MonkeyClaw, on 04/16/2009, -0/+1way way too funny. i grew up on dos all the way to xp and well what can i say, once you go mac you never go back!
  • sofny, on 04/16/2009, -3/+4It's funny cause he's homeless...
  • cromulent742, on 04/16/2009, -3/+4My 13-year-old brother wants a mac just because his friends have em.
  • obeythefist, on 04/16/2009, -2/+3A cheap windows laptop is a torture worse than homelessness. Especially if it's running Vista.
  • Dweller99, on 04/16/2009, -1/+1Apple is the Lamborghini in your analogy? Try lowering the sights a bit. I *LIKE* lots of things, but when purchasing something I set a budget for myself based on available funds, and define the needs for the product I am shopping for (like Lauren and her 17" screen size on a $1000 budget).

    I *LIKE* Alienware cases. they have the "oooh shiny!" factor that a lot of the Apple models have. However, I know that I do not need Dual SLI, dual Quad Core CPUs, RAID and 17 minute battery life in a laptop, just as I do not need a car that can drive the legal speed limit in first gear.

    In short, no it is not "just like..." at all. Apple is hardly the Lamborghini of PCs. Now quit being all butthurt about an ad and move on.
  • twtmc, on 04/16/2009, -4/+4The ads just feed off of public ignorance. I don't care too much, means us computer repair guys will get lots of work when people buy the pretty HP with the 17" screen and the 4 gigs of ram that likes to ***** up within the first 2 months.
  • ohmytodd, on 04/16/2009, -3/+2i like this sketch group. i subscribe to them on youtube. usually have a lot of pretty dead on material.

    i never saw the original commercial (i don't watch t.v.) but still thought this was funny. keep it up landline.
  • inactive, on 04/16/2009, -5/+4Just not funny. C'mon, somebody out there can do better. Hint: don't start from a place of bitterness, it's just a laptop, not a way of life.
  • wardsac, on 04/16/2009, -4/+3Agreed, on all counts.

  • abid786, on 04/16/2009, -2/+1Just like saying "I like Lamborghini, but if I had $30 000 to spend on a car, then guess which dealership I'll go to"
  • BlueStarr, on 04/15/2009, -4/+2I think you meant ha-larious!
  • BlueStarr, on 04/15/2009, -7/+3***** love this spot but that HD shot of him taking a piss...eeeek!
  • jankind, on 04/16/2009, -8/+3This is great, I was waiting for someone to do this...Those ads are the worst. In the latest one with the mom and her little kid, she says something like, "Macs are really popular at this age" referring to her little boy.
  • DeletedUser, on 04/16/2009, -10/+4Not Funny...
  • evensr, on 04/14/2009, -11/+5Oh man, I laughed. Priceless, and so true.
  • steveo72990, on 04/14/2009, -8/+2ha to the haha
