Apple debuts two Holiday Get a Mac Ads
In the I Can Do Anything ad [direct video link], PC shows off what he can do because he is animated. He then talks to a rabbit that is on its way to the Apple Store.
In the Tree Trimming ad [direct video link], Mac and PC are decorating a tree. When PC plugs in the tree, Mac discovers that the lights actually say... well, we don't want to spoil it (sorry!).
You can watch both of the ads by visiting the Get a Mac ad website.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Why do they make Hodgman look so heavy in these ads?

It's animated! When they draw cartoons of opposing politicians, they magnify and minimize as many major attributes on each person to make their looks just as different as their opinions. You can apply the same principal here.
Did you notice that Mac's thighs are thinner than his ankles? LOL!!!

prob because he is heavier than the skinny mac-boy...besides i think it goes to the subliminal thoughts that PC's are heavy and not so great to look at...they weigh you down etc...
and Macs are pretty and versatile and make everything easier...
at least thats my view on the subject...lmao

PETA won't be happy with the rabbit getting snow dropped on his head.
Well, they can eat my shorts.

Is it just me, or are those two of the stupidest Get A Mac ads ever? More so the first (rabbit) one.

I actually think these are the funniest, especially the rabbit one.

Yes, I think so too. I think these adverts are wearing a bit thin now.

Bah Humbug eh Andrew...

"heavy"?!? Have you seen Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer? The people are very round, it's just the animation style, probably to emphasize the 3-d nature of the animation.

Hmmmm... something's bothering me... are they not using the real voices of the actors John Hodgman (PC) and Justin Long (Mac)?

Sounds like the real voices to me.

I am actually surprised, these ads are more about the characters than really anything. I was beginning to think the Rabbit one was going to get away without a single "Mac vs. PC" thing. However, the only way these ads can keep running is if they get back to pointing out features rather than just downing the PC.

these were great. the tree was was not "funny" because your image gave away the punch line. change the screen grab so it does not get spoiled for others.
