Yet more Mac spoof ads - now with Linux!
I was waiting for someone to add Linux into the mix, and TrueNuff TV did a pretty good job with a series of Mac Spoofs. Parodying (of course) the latest series of love-em-or-(mostly)-hate-em ads, TrueNuff has produced 6 spoofs that poke fun at the Mac, though Linux, admittedly, takes quite a beating as well (but c'mon - it's Linux!). The spoofs are featured at TrueNuff TV's site and also on YouTube. Enjoy.

Definitely the funniest and most well thought-out "Get a Mac" spoofs I've seen so far.

Still pretty ordinary. They overdo the Linux guy, use too many cliches and there are just a lot of general misfires. Generally it feels a bit pretentious and lame.

Pretty funny, but they need to show the Linux guy searching and searching and searching through his open source community for drivers for his wireless laptop card.
And then if he can manage to find the right one, trying to figure out how to install it.
Then it would be dead on.

Yeah, they totally make it seem like Linux is not geared at normal users...
Remind me again why I'm supposed to feel remorse for buying an 1100 MacBook?

My favorite is the "Black MacBook" ad... too funny! Second favorite: the "Networking" ad (making porn easier to share!). I guess I just amuse easily!

but they are wrong with linux.
people, one day you will ask why there are more users of linux than os X and you will be totally puzzled, because you have ideas about linux which are dead for years.
and still , I said that, using os x 10.4 on a macbook pro. yeah, os x is a very fine os.
but STOP to have so contempt to linux and go use a recent version with good faith !

Meh, I use Linux and I enjoyed the spoofs. But it's true that the Linux mentality shown is pretty 1995... Still funny though. Especially the bit about running Linux on Xbox, car stereo and Nintendo DS :D That's still true.
