Every "Get A Mac" ad in chronological order
You'll remember the long-running Get A Mac TV ads that had Justin Long and John Hodgman playing a personified Mac and PC, respectively. John, as "PC," often had troubles that didn't affect his friend Mac. Despite this, their friendship remained intact. So did the campaign.
By the time the campaign ended in 2009, a total of 66 ads had been run. Now, Adweek has posted them all in chronological order. Some of our favorites include "Network" and "Santa Claus," if only for the wonderfully nostalgic Claymation.
Did you have a favorite? If so, you're sure to find it in Adweek's collection.

The next campaign should just show off people using the machines themselves. Not show people talking about how crappy their competitor is. Look at Microsoft's Windows 7 commercials. They don't (Anymore) badmouth Macs. They show people all the Windows machines they can choose from. Apple needs something like this showing off all Apple's machines. Ones for portability, for power, for convenience. "Choose Your Mac" could be the title of the campaign.
Of course now MS has that Netbook campaign telling people to not choose an Air, but whatever.
The 'home movie' one with Gisele Bundchen is my fave. That dude in drag saying "what's up? PC home movie" is the funniest thing in those series of ads.
I hate the Mac guy though. Blarghhh.
These were great ads. I have them all in HD except "Restart" which is LQ. Good stuff, and my favorite remains "Security" and "Top of the Line."

iPhone commercials do a wonderful job of showing the great things the iPhone can do... how can Mac commercials miss this?
Even though Mac sales are increasing... I still think they'd sell more Macs if they actually showed iPhoto.
Digital photos are really popular now... aAnd almost no one on Windows knows how to properly organize their photos.
I don't know why nobody else loves, "Choose a Vista" with the wheel of fortune that he spins. I laugh at it out loud every time more than any other one.

My first ever torrent so please let me know if I have done something wrong. Sorry about the slow upload speed (still on ADSL1 here).
I love "Security". The bodyguard with the shades so hits the mark.

YES! Security and Computer Cart both have brilliant comic moments at the end. Easily my favorites of the campaign.
