Switch commercials
Sunday November 17, 2002 at 2:38 am | Filed under Mac
I’m sure you’ve all seen these, the commercials that have people talking about why they ditched their Windows machine in favor of a mac. Some do the job and make you think that there may be an alternative to the Windows world out there, while some are just an excuse to show that a celebrity is using a mac. Here’s the big list of all of them that have been done so far, with one in particular that would make anyone switch. I mean, if macs are good enough for Yo Yo Ma, they’re good enough for anyone!
These commercials have spawned a community of weirdness, as you can imagine. One of the commercials features a student, Ellen Feiss, who had troubles writing a paper on a PC due to crashing, has such a following that some crazy people have an Ellen Feiss look-alike contest going. weird.
the best part about these commercials though? Spoofs! you have a watch a few to actually GET the joke so go do that, then check these out:
Anakin Skywalker – switches to the dark side
Monkey (again, monkeys = comedy)
Will Ferrell – switched from parfaits to macs
Kristofer Straub – “Trying to use windows was like reading Greek backwards, underwater, fighting with a pirate” -haha!
Matthew Ellsworth – porn alert!
The Gopal Diaries- some weird animated one…
