Anyone else had enough of the "Get a Mac" TV spots? Talk about beating a dead horse... especially when I am starting to like the 'PC' guy better...

it's one of the most talked about campaigns out there, and it does a direct and entertaining job of shitting on the compeition. it solidifies the already strong loyalty of Mac customers, and it's bold enough to get the other 95% of computer users to consider Macs in the future.
great great campaign, and i enjoy each new one that comes out

I'm sick of them. Each one get's less funny. I liked them at first.

nothing wrong with the ad.
I would have used naked chicks who would kiss at the end but thats just me, it's probably in the directors cut though.

I hate them, I've always hated them. I like both Mac and PCs. Maybe Jobs is missing that currently they serve different purposes in the computer spectrum.
To me it comes across like Apple trying hard to be cool and failing...

I think the PC guy should talk about how Apple is overpriced and underpowered. Then transmogrify the Mac guy into a fancier version of the PC guy.

(Oct 24 06, 08:27)Jobs isn't missing anything, he is very well aware. But he is not creating the ads, TBWA/Chiat/Day is, and for a reason.
Creating an ad that evenly compares two brands doesn't sell stuff or win customers, these ads do. In case you doubt that, check Apple's stock price.

I love macs, I don't like the ads..
I wouldn't go as far as to say:
I hate them, because that would be unfair to the head on ads, wich I actually hate.yes, that is the real ad..
- Rand0
for whatever reason, despite being a mac user, I hate these ads
they seem smug, dumbed down and condescending
- PonyBoy0
I think PC has been losing weight too... anyone else notice that? He's much trimmer in the latest commercials...
- Crouwel0
i love it when a campaign annoys or bores people, but apparently move them enough to post a thread about it.

(Oct 24 06, 08:27)you have facts/figures?
are they failing? or are we, nt'ers too smart to see thru campaigns but a lot of other people will definitly fall for it?
- alkanenine0
i've never liked them. they are way to smug. a pc is a personal computer and mac is personal computer. i think they are redundant. i only like mac because of OSX.

They are just too sterile to keep it going.
Like bad drawings... move on.
