Video tribute to the Get a Mac ad campaign

67 US ones, if you count Sad Song separately from Sad Song (Long version). Plus 8 Japanese ads, and 15 UK ones too. The UK ads were great, I still get a chuckle from Pie Chart.

Oh I'm going to miss Hodgman.

This was a fantastic ad campaign and even if you thought they had some hubris, please realize that they're commercials... Smack talking a company for using hubris in a commercial is ridiculous. Every hair product will send you over the moon, cars make you cool, and every juice drink is like an explosion of flavour, so back off. The basis of these commercials was based on fact; Windows has a lot of viruses (whatever the reason), and the Mac has a lot of awesome stuff built in.

Also, Apple (actually their ad agency TBWA/Chiat Day) did something clever here by making it a Mac commercial and not a Mac OS 10.x commercial. That allowed them to make a full out campaign that people remember and they COULD actually run for a few years. It's more iconic. They're really good at this. The iPod silhouette commercials are art and these Mac vs. PC were instantly recognizable and were part of Apple's crazy growth. The iPhone commercials are great for showing solutions, regardless of version and the iMac commercials have always shown off their beauty. TBWA is just a better ad agency that Microsoft's (Crispen Porter Bogusky) and Google's (who knows/cares).

Windows Forever man, I am sorry but Mac sux. Only good out of it is its devices.

It's called Windows 7, vista was old news (like windows 2000).

Sad to see these go. They were the only commercials I've ever enjoyed watching.

Always enjoyed these ads. FYI, you can still see them on the Canadian site.

They should make a digital download of the set through iTunes :-)

I'm a huge "fanboy." When these ads were posted on the Apple website, I d/l'ed the complete ad campaign from 2006-2009 (52 vids total).

Say what you will, they were clever and genius.

Onward and upward, Mr. Jobs.

They should do one more where PC final becomes a Mac.

R.I.P Get-A-Mac ads. You were truly inspirational and genius. Whether you use Mac, Windows or Unix, anyone could understand the simplistic poke-with-a-stick humor these ads had.
