The movie is in an /ads/ directory. Your blocker is probably killing it. - intelsucks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Turn Ad-Filtering Off Or Whitelist Page:

- intelsucks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Video on Apple.com. Right-click if you want to download it, left-click to just watch it (Turn Ad-Filtering Off):

- RoccoB64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"is it just me or does that seem like that was on the day before yesterday?"
Yeah, ditto. It feels like it wasn't that long ago at all.
And honestly, I prefer ads like this to the current ones! - Walt65, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Still have mine and still use it
- hseikaly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i remember seeing this ad on tv when it first came out. funny how back then lots of people thought the ipod would fail.
- fu_fish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just get a blank page. :(
- ,,|,_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Propellerheads are teh awesome.
- ,,|,_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The song is "Take California"
- belgar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What song is that by Propellerheads?
- riffraff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't believe it's been that long since the original iPod was released. I still remember when this was playing on TV.
- Capand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@tripoverfeet:
no kidding you've already seen this, it's a commercial, most anyone has seen this. I even remember this i was like 12 when it was on! so cool. I like this ad a lot and i think they should reinvent the iPod ads now, maybe at the 6th Gen iPods cuz this ***** is getting tiring.
it's funny cuz i was thinking of this commercial the other day, i was thinking about how i was fascinated that you could put 1000 songs on and immediately i was thinking about how much trouble i'd have fitting that many songs on. Now, i'm looking at like 20 Gig models lol...
oh well, dugg! - TheGooseyOne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0is it just me or does that seem like that was on the day before yesterday?
- OpticalLiam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty cool. I love the Propellerheads :D. Propellerheads - Decksanddrumsandrockandroll - Take California
- stilesja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0More like how it hasn't changed. Put that guy on a green screen, black him out and leave the ipod white and you have one of the current iPod adds.
- nugge7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember that!
- spartan777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0he's not even good at dancing!
- Motobike_man, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think the apple site just got digged... seems to be sluggish now.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0:lol:
- BushidoSpork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm surprised they didn't call that thing the iBrick. Actually, that gives me a great idea for a mod...
- exobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0*cough*mp3 of the song anyone?*cough*
Of course I own the original, I lost it. - emstack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey, how did you get to that ad? I've never been able to find original iPod ads because Apple doesn't link to them any more. But apparently apple stores them on their site still because this was from their site. How'd you do that?
- dean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thank Stevie they changed!
- thisdude415, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The real original ipod dancer.... loJ...
- zenghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol captsnuffy...i remember saying 2 myself, "wow those are cool." i didn't think it'd come this far though...
- Dgen_X, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember seeing this back when goldblum was in all the apple, toyota, and some other commercials
every break of every show we'd have to look at him...ugh - JuliusErving, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0great digg.
- h4lofourt33n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is that Jeff Goldblum?
- bryantee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's not Jeff?
- TopGaler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I, too, remember this commercial and greatly prefer it to the new ones. Perhaps the silhouettes and the sea of hands and the single iPod Nano type of commercials move the products better, but I somehow doubt it.
- tarun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It seems like a lot of ads nowadays feature people whose race is questionable. That guy looks Indian to me, but he could be hispanic or even white. Who knows.
Like a modern version of those anti-teen-smoking ads that have kids from every possible race. This method is less cheesy, I suppose. - nads, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No i think it's the guy from Meet the Magoons...

- bryantee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's official, it's M. Night.
- shockme17, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats weird.. i cant view it.. i have the latest quicktime for windows installed.. and its saying that i need to upgrade and takes me to the quicktime page.. says i need to upgrade to version 5.02 or higher..

- nate263, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Everyone here just thinks of every Indian guy they've ever seen and thinks he looks like it. It's a little racist in my opinion
As for the ad it has more appeal to the mac nerd than the rest of the population. Don't get me wrong, I love the mac nerds, I just think this approach to advertising wouldn't have anywhere near the impact that the silhouette-type ads did if they had continued with it. - scotsman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Excellent - loved it. Notice the old version of itunes!
- nadster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0didn't work for me in firefox, but did in internet explorer, try internet explorer if it doesn't work.
- ndm007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0''the ipod used to be so ugly'' are you freaking crazy. i would kill to have a brand spanking new 1G iPod. And to the other guy.....it was clearly NOT before OS X . The computer that the dude is using has OS X running.
- Jon2x4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0OMG this was soooooo long ago.
- dimplemonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The Propellerhead - Take California!

So how many of you notice the transition of the guy dancing into the current iPod ads where it's the sillouette dancing. Major cool! - ndm007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0and yes....it was M. Night. The director of such films as The Sixth Sense, The Village, and Unbreakabale.
- OregonTrail, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Can someone post the link?
I can't see it!
