British Mac Ads are at nearly all bus stops where i live. I think the people are better in British Ads (Mitchell and Webb)

No, John Hodgman is really great. I think the British actors just appeal a bit more to your sense of humor (British humor is much different from American). When it comes down to the actors, John Hodgman wins.

Oh, and my favorite spoofs were 1, 3 and 5.

IM afraid rue wrong  :P Mitchell and webb are the best.

We will have to agree to disagree on that one

Actually saw the latest ad, 'Cancel or Allow' on TV last night during Leno.  Don't see them much on TV any more.

Justed added the Flashback and Computer Cart ads to the list. They are the first two on the list, and I think the Computer Cart is the better one...what does everyone else think?

I like the computer cart too.

I'm gonna go out on the limb here...but I think it's time for Apple to come up with something new...I'm ready for something fresh.

They have been doing these ads forever now. While they come up with new ads, the bottom line is always the same. It is getting a little old, although I still find myself laughing.

I agree with you on Computer Cart being the better of the two.

Chris, you're definitely right. They just seem to be having a hard time coming up with new content that people still find really funny. I'm sure that there are still a few things that they can do to get a good laugh, but they do need a new marketing scheme.

Well, they currently have 21 ads, and you can't end a campaign with an unusual number like that, so they have to make at least 4 more. ;D

The ads are starting to wear off, its true, but they still have some life in them before they need to move on to something else.  Hopefully whatever that is will be even funnier and more clever.  Knowing Apple, that will probably be the case.  Remember Ellen Feiss?  That was pretty creative. ;)

Just saw Computer cart and laughing my ass off,  I know that horror very well..... Funny thing is my apps crash on OS X daily and give me no report why  (LOL  firefox just crashed while writing this)

"Quit unexpectedly"  "Reopen" 

At least in windows one can see the crash happening unlike in OS X where the app window just magically dissappears

Yeah, I've crashed OS X many times before, and sometimes I think it is worse than Windows!  After crashing, the Mac usually had to be restarted, which really slowed things down.  Of course, this was with a PowerPC Mac, so maybe this doesn't happen so much anymore.

I don't think Windows is as bad as many people make it out to be.  Sure, it has its problems, but so do Mac and Linux.  As long as you have some anti-virus and a little common sense, you should be all right.  Just make sure you have enough RAM!

Applications usually crash for a reason in OS X. Mainly preferences from experience. I work in a school where we have about 20 macs and close to 200 pc's. The mac's cause most grief!

Okay...maybe they just redeemed themselves after those two "good" ads because I just posted another new one called Stuffed that is pretty hilarious!
