PC + Mac Commercial – Spoof

by Jeremy Schoemaker on May 23, 2007 · 28 comments

I am a mac user and found this pretty hilarious. Kind of amplifies the age old debate of windows being used in business and for playing games where macs are used for creativity and easy of use…

whatever I think its funnny and well done ;)

So they made the MAC out to look like a computer version of Paris Hilton. Awesome haha

LOL, finally a swing back. Even thought I want a Mac for the past few months. Can’t make the jump yet.

That was a pretty good angle from the PC side. Even though I’m a Mac user, and do all my work on a Mac now, I thought it was still pretty funny.

That is a good one. Like the fact that the Mac does not know what work is. Have you seen the Novell Linux spoofs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtp5gNhBZgo

Dude, I had no idea you were a fellow Mac user.

Yep, very, very clever.

That’s pretty slick, I like that. The designers at the place where I work all use Mac’s, including using them during the proofing process so I am forced to have an iMac on my desk. I still can’t believe we use Safari to proof our websites when 98% of our visitor’s use IE. By the way, can anyone tell me how to maximize a window in OS X? :)

Oh this is too funny.

I love the original commercials and I get a kick out of the spoofs also.

I’ve been a Mac user since October 2006. I purchased the 17″ MacBook Pro. In fact, I converted my father to Mac. I bought him a refurbished Power Mac G5 around the same time. He’s never looked back.

There are the Christian versus Christ-follower spoofs that are surprisingly very well-done

I have been using the Mac for a while now. About one year ago
I drove away from the Windows.

I love these commercials! They are the best.

Love these things. The real ones are better then the spoofs I think. What kind of mac are you using? I used to hate macs but since I switched I havent looked back.

I have a PC but I’m a fan of Macs and I thought that was pretty funny. It does a good job showing that PCs actually do some things better than Macs.

The real commercials are probably my favorite ones ever on TV. Total classic and everyone knows about them thinks they are funny.

I started out with an Apple clone, a PowerBase 200. Then swung over to a Windoze machine and have been here ever since. Everytime I want to get another Mac, I stop to think about all the software I have that will not run on it. But I still want one. Why is that?

Why did they use a blonde as the Mac “person” and I disagree that a PC user should be shown as well rounded.

I just finished reading Icon about Steve Jobs and found it a great read. If you get a chance buy it and the Iwoz book to get a real insite on how these guys work

damn funny. It’s so true with creative people opting to macs and the rest pcs.

I have to agree–a very funny commercial. The Icon is a great read.

I was a Mac users for years and years during the 90s…until corporate America stepped in and basically made it a requirement that I go PC.
