VH1's Best Week Ever spoofs the new Mac ads

I'm a Mac fan, and I'm still laughing at these. What a great sendup!

I don't think these spoofs are funny at all. Don't think they deserve all the posts they've gotten.

"This isn't mac vs. pc as I think you've made it out to be."

Yeah, and you making fun of people who don't find this funny wasn't making it Mac vs. PC. Perhaps I did take this too seriously, but I got very mad over the fact you made fun of people over their choice of humor, saying that they should get out more often.

The spoof is childish and makes generic jabs at Mac users ... it's not funny because they executed it poorly. I'm still waiting for a funny spoof of the Get a Mac ads like Will Farrell's spoof of the Switch ads. Which is a great example of a spoof. Wil Farrell is believable playing a switcher, the idiots in the BWE sketch are over-acting to make up for bad writing.

Thanks TUAW for embedding the video, but it's very hard to watch with that stupid "Press Fart button" ad flashing incessantly on the right of the page.

Or is this some subtle comment to prove VH1's opinion of Mac users is exactly on the money?!

Jesus "M.Bischoff"!

Get that apple-attitude, fanboy stick out of your ass! It was funny. What the hell do you want for Free? So lighting-up. Damn!

They started running "spoof ads" like this for Colorado 9 News. I'm sure anyone who lives in Colorado who was watching SNL this Saturday had the unpleasant surprise of seeing this. It went something like this:

Guy 1: "Hi, Im 9 news' website"

Guy 2: "Hi, Im a denver news website"

Guy 1: "I'm based out of denver, so all of my news is local"

Guy 2: "Well Im based out of the north coast"

Guy 1: "I get a billion hits a year"

Guy 2: (all dumbfounded like) "Well if you consider that good..."

Guy 1: "We really suck for ripping off such a good line of commercials"

Guy 2: "Yes, lets go home and chug some gasoline"


Ok, I made up the last two lines, but besides that, it was all real. Did anyone else see it?

It must be my perch in the Ivory Tower with my velvet Steve Jobs paintings and my pile of "cooler than thou" t-shirts, but I still think the BWE skit sucks.

Like I said, "you're", as in "generally speaking", taking this way too seriously and it's pretty evident by your reply.

This isn't mac vs. pc as I think you've made it out to be. It's funny vs. unfunny and you were a casualty of war. I can bet you money that most of the people who worked on this parody either own an Apple or work on on exclusively at work. Take a look at the context of the situation and realize that the idea was to make you laugh, not to tell everyone that Macs are toys, as pc users have tried to convince us of in the past..

fowler, oxjox:

1. People care about iLife because it's easy to use. If you want to make home movies, organize pictures, make dvds of home movies, keep a collection of songs, record songs or podcasts .. then iLife is the best package on Mac or PC for that.

2. They do advertise the benefits of a mac, dumb*ss. Watch an ad or two.

3. The only thing I hate more than mac yuppie hipsters are the people who make fun of them and point fingers and laugh at them. DON'T ASSUME THAT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THIS PARODY THAT THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF HAV ING FRIENDS IN THE REAL WORLD. Good god you retard! It's not just the subject matter of the parody, it's also the type of humor. The type of humor in the parody is childish and makes typical jabs at the Mac user fan base. Old and overplayed.

If I really want to hear someone say the same FUD about OS choice, I'd go read Digg comments.
