New "Get a Mac" web ad

All i gotta say is these ads are still the best 100x better than the MS ads wich i think were the worst thing to waist a min and 30 seconds on.

If this ad were real.

i couldn't watch it on my iPhone

These ads are WAY past their sell by date :-(

I'm a happy Mac user myself, but I'm fed up of the whole "We're better than you are" shenanigans.

When they first started the ads were funny, now they just smack of complacency and a lack of new ideas.

Whatever happened to Think Different???

Still funny, are you out of your minds? Even though they don't show you shit about the Mac and what it can do - people listen to them, now imagine they'd make ads that actually SHOW the product they're trying to sell like the iPhone, oh my god, Microsoft would be so screwed...

But I don't think I'd like to see that happen, first of all the ads are perfect the way they are, second I like being part of the 10% or so that are actually smart enough to use the better OS.

My favorite ad (I think you should poll that, to make up for the insult of even asking if the ads are still cool) is still the Christmas one from last year, it was different, cute and pretty funny "What, I thought those were the lyrics, that's the way I learned them" :D

No, they're not old-hat. They're commercials. Saying these ads are old-hat is like saying Chevy advertisements are old-hat because they've been advertising since the 50s. These ads are funny, informative, and, frankly, I fail utterly to see what is so "snide" about them. I'm a PC user, too! Let Apple advertise. Criminy, the last time they almost went bankrupt because of lack of ad copy. It is, after all, the reason why Commodore went bankrupt.

In my opinion, the most recent ads are where they've perfected the formula and have the most humor.

I think they are funny, but they are getting old. I would like to see something truly original, rather than just bashing Vista without actually saying anything about it at all. As someone else said, it's like a political campaign where you don't find out anything great about Macs, just vaguely bad things about Vista. Also, as is often pointed out, they make Vista almost look better because John Hodgman is the more lovable character and Justin is a little 'smug' and there is never anything positive said about Mac, just picking on PC.

man, do i hate macs... But i do think these commercials are effective and work well.

a bit, but still funny. The ad/promo that IS getting old is the silhouette iPod campaign. Time for something new (but it doesn't look like it will be a part of today's release judging from the huge banner on the outside of the venue).

it's currently running at cnn.com...
