'I'm on a Mac' parody video makes noise

It's just incredible how fast some things can transmit themselves around the ol' blogosphere -- when I first saw this silly parody song video over on Laughing Squid last night, I chuckled and figured I'd share it for you all on TUAW the next day. But of course since then it's been all over the place. For a silly parody of a song that was already a silly parody, it's really gotten around.

Just in case you haven't seen it, it's now posted after the "read more" link below (put there because while there isn't actually any NSFW language in the video, there are a lot of bleeps and edits that come close). It's all done by the Pantsless Knights (who've created another Mac-related parody rap video before), and it's worth a watch. Personally, while I was a big fan of the original Lonely Island/SNL video and its skewering of hip hop posturing, I think the whole meme is more or less played out by this point. But these guys put a good Mac spin on it anyway. "A nano in pink." Ha.

YuckYouck. I think it is right, it is ok. The parody of a parody is in fact the
dreamer awakening inside his (or her) own parody
of which live generally is one, of, etc. ...mthr---f..r...

Sorry but this video is so incredibly stupid that it's embarassing... Not sure what it's supposed to be saying. Frankly, in this scenario, I'd rather be a PC to get this babe.

Having read some of the youtube comments I've lost faith in humanity once again.

I know what you mean Ryan. People would never speak those words in public.

I wonder if there should be a one week cooling off period before your comments get posted to YouTube or large public blogs to give people time to chill out before being so harsh. Time to think about what a jackass they sound like. Mind you, by then I would have likely lost interest in my own post here.

I think this videos is a bit weak but what shocks me is that switchtomac.com is backed by Parallels. Do they really want to get behind such a niche humour video with that much swearing? Seems strange to me.

Why would you parody something thats already a parody to begin with? The original boat video is a parody of hip hop video excess... so what exactly is this video parodying? I get parodying things that take themselves seriously but comedy parodying other comedy (Date Movie etc) has always seemed super lame to me.

Yeah, not so much. I'm not trying to be critical or anything, but the "dancing" was so repetitive it wasn't funny.

Well.. generic rap song, processed voice (oh how original), gratuitous swearing. Repetitive is the least of its problems.

As a viral advert it somewhat fails..
