New UK Get a Mac Ads

Back in January we mentioned Apple's UK Get a Mac campaign featuring local British comedy duo, David Mitchell (PC) and Robert Webb (Mac). Despite a report that the ads might actually be harming Apple's image in the UK, Apple is apparently pressing ahead with a few new ads including: Naughty Step, Court, and Magic. For my own part, I like the ads, probably even more their US counterparts. Besides, the word 'naughty' is funny all by itself! Check out the new ads at Apple UK.

Thanks, John!

Maybe it's the British accents, but I thought these were funnier than the American commercials. I watched a few but will have to watch the rest at home. I don't want to risk LOL here in cubicle-ville.

Ive also noticed the ads are in poster form in 90% of the bus stops in my home of Darlington in the North East of England. I can only assume there is a big TV campaign on its way, as the posters make little sense to the average man in the street without to video to compliment it.

I like the UK commercials much more than the US ones. Although I have to agree with the criticisms of the UK commercials that they make the PC seem quirky and funny and the Mac a bit rude.

The idea of a naughty step is to send small children to sit on the stairs when they have been naughty. The theory being that they can see and hear everything thats going on but can't join in, the worst punishment possible, not being the centre of attention. Little point sending them to their room if its stuffed full of toys.

The naughty step is quite smart actually, probably linking to the SuperNanny programme (Which is also in the US), and the famous naughty step. Well done. I like them too be honest. Shame they aren't on the TV though.

I still can't figure out what the hell is a naughty step. The others are pretty good actually.
