[QUOTE=legolover122;37131272]The labor day ad. Who sleeps in their work shirts and their name tags?[/QUOTE] Dude its labor day. That means you have to work even in your sleep.
This thread can only end 2 ways, both being total disasters.
There's ads out there that ear easily 10x worse than these
[QUOTE=Dead Madman;37134710]This thread can only end 2 ways, both being total disasters.[/QUOTE] Every thread involving Apple as the main topic does :v:
The first one was a bit ehh The second and third one made me giggle.
I saw Mayday on the TV and honestly it didn't strike me as an out-of-place commercial, about the same quality as any other generic ad.
Wow apple thinks their customers are fucking retarded HURRRR HOW AM MAKE FILTER IN iMOVE? Why were these made
These adverts just kind of make me want make me punch the guy. What do these prove anyway? That everything on a Mac is so hard to do you need an obnoxious cunt to do it all for you?
they werent bad adverts....but they didn't really make me want to buy a mac....
Better than those "Hi, I'm a PC! And I'm a Mac!" ads. This is at least an attempt at a tounge-in-cheek approach rather than just pushing into everyone's faces how awesome the Macs are.
Aren't Mac's supposed to be user-friendly? Kinda destroys the point if you need some elitist asshole to help you with it.
The second and last one weren't even that bad.
You know they could just show off the design of their products and list actual advantages but I don't think they think their target audience would comprehend it or something.
the second and third ad, makes me think the mac isnt intuitive or user friendly on both a user needs help from a "expert" to do simple stuff.
Apple-genius? That's a bit of an oxymoron right there...
Well atleast they weren't Apple, Apply directly to your forehead Apple, Apply directly to your forehead Apple, Apply directly to your forehead
Good. These ads are so awful. Like, if Apple products are so easy to use, why does everyone in the ad need help from an Apple Genius?? It misses completely.

I've been to an Apple store plenty of times and the geniuses aren't rude or demeaning - they're just doing their job.

[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;37131406]Yeah, those were pretty mediocre. However, somehow this one still made it to air. [video=youtube;FRHg9DH6S0w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRHg9DH6S0w[/video] Honestly, I think I hate this one more than any commercial Apple has ever done, and that includes those shitty (yet occasionally amusing) "I'm a mac!" commercials.[/QUOTE] I told siri "call me batman" so if my dad ever uses siri it calls him batman Siri didn't understand the command :(
That was completly retarded, good thing they pulled them.
That last one wasn't bad but the others were terrible. [editline]8th August 2012[/editline] Also seem to think that apple are the only ones who have bad ads. Check this shit out. [video=youtube;hudqvbAetPE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hudqvbAetPE[/video]
Well I for one AGREE that sepia is, indeed, very romantic!!!
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;37145182]Well I for one AGREE that sepia is, indeed, very romantic!!![/QUOTE] Black and white is even more romantic. [editline]8th August 2012[/editline] Or maybe that one that makes it look like everything was drawn in crayon! It's so silly xDDDD

What they should do is emphasize the productivity-saving features that Mac OS X has over Windows. I'm using a MacBook Pro with Lion for my internship and I gotta say that the UI is waaaaay better than Windows. There's just a bunch of little features that improve the experience (although the lack of compatibility with most games and the inability to customize hardware keeps me on PC).
jesus like 9/10 of this thread are stuckup assholes whining about how bad these commercials are cuz apple sucks seriously these commericals are decent theyre not 100% worst thing ever made ever
[QUOTE=Death_God;37146861]jesus like 9/10 of this thread are stuckup assholes whining about how bad these commercials are cuz apple sucks seriously these commericals are decent theyre not 100% worst thing ever made ever[/QUOTE] Hey, I dislike Apple, but I don't think these commercials were the worst ever. Not good, but not that bad. Tehy just don't really fit the product they're trying to sell. I kinda like the Surface ad for some reason, it goes well with how the product looks: [video=youtube;dpzu3HM2CIo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpzu3HM2CIo[/video] Wow, someone's mad: [video=youtube;aSj8GUZDuac]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSj8GUZDuac&feature=related[/video]
[QUOTE=smurfy;37131265]I'm glad to see Apple trying to evolve their ads though, the whole 'catchy music, some guy talking, and clips of shit getting done' thing was getting old[/QUOTE] Reminded me of this :3 [video=youtube;j-PB8glrqds]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-PB8glrqds[/video]
