- Bloodwine, on 08/21/2008, -38/+579Am I the only one who likes the PC guy more than the Mac guy in those ads? The Mac guy comes off as a smug prick.
- iain76, on 08/21/2008, -37/+538Wasn't Seinfled a Mac user? You could see a Mac in his flat in most of the episodes?
- opticwind, on 08/21/2008, -12/+379"What's the deal with Apple? All their computers are white, I thought apples were red!"
- sablowsky, on 08/21/2008, -4/+329It's a commercial about nothing!
- doom777, on 08/21/2008, -4/+237PC guy is a comedian, and actually writes the ads. The mac guy is just an actor.
- cuoops, on 08/21/2008, -12/+244That's gold Jerry! Gold!
- doom777, on 08/21/2008, -24/+227That would be a PR nightmare.
"Apples are for *****! *****, ***** *****!" - jemka, on 08/21/2008, -10/+213What's the deal with these Apple computers? Are they fruit? Can you eat them? I just don't understand.
- Erythroxylum, on 08/21/2008, -19/+191Yeah. The Mac guy is a smug prick. Huh. Fancy that.
- napier, on 08/21/2008, -28/+196Jerry Seinfeld > Justin Long
- freezerburn666, on 08/21/2008, -34/+181that's because mac users ARE smug pricks :P
- birdman14, on 08/21/2008, -20/+165They had a product placement deal for the show.
- badenglishihave, on 08/21/2008, -13/+132No Mac for you!
(comment blatantly stolen from Ryan @ Engadget) - dafragsta, on 08/21/2008, -2/+115PC guy is a New York Times editor, in addition to Daily Show correspondent and author.
- FiP0, on 08/21/2008, -23/+128""Get a Mac" ads have long been an annoyance to Microsoft"
Regular viewers too.
So "PC" is a funny comedian, and "mac" is some smug guy that dresses like he's still 15 ? Great, do something else already. - adamchristopher, on 08/21/2008, -15/+117http://blog.wired.com/cultofmac/1996-macaddict-mac ...
- bwinebarger, on 08/21/2008, -1/+98Newman should start doing Apple commercials.
- serif69, on 08/21/2008, -1/+97Hello PC.
Hello... MACINTOSH. - plainandsimple, on 08/21/2008, -12/+98Every heard of product placement? Apple's done a good job of absorbing their computers into many movies, TV shows, and even ads I've seen.
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -21/+103You're basing his usage of Mac computers on a prop found in his apartment's set?
Right. - katalysis, on 08/21/2008, -7/+84Are you trying to say that the PC user is the 20-something year old investment banker pulling $200,000+/yr while the Mac user is the unemployed 20-something year old who still is trying to act like the cool kid he thought he was back in high school?
- halbe, on 08/21/2008, -29/+100Yada yada yada... They should have pitched it to Kramer.
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -5/+74I'm a Mac user, but I would absolutely crack up if Seinfeld came out and said, "Macs are gay. Not that there's anything WRONG with that."
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -3/+71It's funny how they come off as smug pricks when arguing that they aren't.
- scabbers, on 08/21/2008, -0/+67These comments are making me thirsty.
- Perfectsound, on 08/21/2008, -4/+70I hope they will be working with Vandelay Industries.
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -9/+73learning itunes?
WTFFFFFFFFFFFF - Murdats, on 08/21/2008, -7/+71oh and don't forget that the entire ads just spout lies and half truths about a competitor instead of actually saying why there product is any better or even telling you what their product is.
- TheUngod, on 08/21/2008, -0/+52and a resident expert on everything
- PimpinOnWelfare, on 08/21/2008, -2/+52Microsoft's new $300 million campaign (one of Redmond's largest ever) is set to launch with a $10 million assist from "key celebrity pitchman" Jerry Seinfeld.
I swear people don't even read the articles anymore ... - spvo, on 08/21/2008, -4/+52Who gives a ***** what he used on the tv show. You realize Jerry Seinfeld is a real person, not just a character on a tv show. This is who microsoft is hiring, I imagine he enjoys lots of things his character on the tv show doesn't.
- int19h, on 08/21/2008, -18/+63This is more likely to drag Seinfeld down than Microsoft up.
- cheapotheclown, on 08/21/2008, -11/+56During the Seinfeld final episode, Apple aired a one-time "Think Different" ad paying tribute to him. Also, a 20th Anniversary Macintosh could be seen in Jerry's apartment through several of the seasons. Is Microsoft sure they're going for the right spokesperson here?
- stonebone4, on 08/21/2008, -7/+51This is not a fanboy comment, but...
Jerry Seinfeld > Justin Long
Times like a thousand.
Also, there's nothing majorly wrong with either OS X or Vista. They both have annoying quirks but they both get the job done. OS X is prettier and Vista works with more stuff. The end. - n4tune8, on 08/21/2008, -2/+43No MAC for you!
- timusca, on 08/21/2008, -4/+43If memory serves correct, it was a 20th Anniversary Mac.
- badenglishihave, on 08/21/2008, -2/+41Subliminal advertising is the best kind of advertising.
- duckley, on 08/21/2008, -1/+38Instead of Seinfeld, they should have used Soup Nazi.
- dballagh, on 08/21/2008, -15/+52I can't believe that MS wants to talk about computer openness (windows vs walls), how hypocritical. MS has ruled the computer industry with an iron first for decades and now they want to criticize Apple? They better be careful what they wish for, the only true "Open" system is Linux and it's coming on stronger than ever lately.
Go Ubuntu! - impei, on 08/21/2008, -9/+46The character on the show was named Seinfeld as well.
- GiJoeBob, on 08/21/2008, -30/+65"the immediate goal of the campaign is to reverse the negative public perception of Vista"
then spend your $300 million dollars on getting it to work right in the first place - digitaldivinci, on 08/21/2008, -4/+38Shame he looks kinda gay.
- dig1x, on 08/21/2008, -8/+41What *exactly* do you think Vista doesnt do "right"?
It works fine fore me -- and everyone I know. What's your issue? - thescimitar, on 08/21/2008, -3/+35That's a pretty accurate brand statement for Apple.
/apple user for nearly two decades - angelof, on 08/21/2008, -6/+37That's a good assessment. Not that I would ever use Vista, I heard it's awful. That new Mohave OS they have seems like a good alternative to OS X though.
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -6/+37"windoze"
I stopped reading right there. -1, work on your delivery. - cotaskmemalloc, on 08/21/2008, -0/+31Roundtine!
- marchetti, on 08/21/2008, -0/+31He went through a bunch of Macs, and the 20th Anniversary model was one of them.
- Clodhopper, on 08/21/2008, -3/+33You were obviously born in the 1990's if you would rate this kid Justin Long above Jerry Seinfeld, in any time period.
- MacParrot, on 08/21/2008, -6/+34What do you use to download music and read email? A toaster?
