Every "Get A Mac" Ad that's Available...
« on: January 24, 2007, 07:57:30 PM »
Okay, so I always have people asking me where they can watch all of the "Get A Mac" ads that are on TV and floating around the Internet. What I did is I downloaded them all from Apple's website and then uploaded them all to Google video so that I can present them in a simple way that doesn't require people to install QuickTime. I'll continuously update this page as new movies are released and the most recent ones will always be at the top. Alright...here they are:

Most recent video are at the top of the list.

So cool to have these all in one single place.  I had seen most of these, but not all.  Thanks Ryan.

This would be cool for you to do with all the Trunk Monkey ads as well.

Trunk Monkey ads? I had never heard of them but then I went to YouTube and saw this post:

It is all of the videos combined into one. I think the "Pediatric Edition" and the "Chaperon Edition" are my favorites.

Do you really think these campaigns work and people make the switch from a PC to Apple? I love them just for the entertainment factor, and really can't see people making a switch based upon a commercial.

I do not believe people would make a switch just for a commercial.  However, I am sure that Apple is hoping some will.

I too like them for their entertainment value.

Thank you! I used to have to go to Apple's web site to watch these, but loading QuickTime is soooo slow compared to Flash. I too believe that if Apple is gaining any market share from these commercials, it is insignificant, but these are still probably the best ads ever aired on television (except for possibly the Ellen Feiss commercial ;D ).

Also, you really should do something like this for the British Ads (after all, there are quite a few Brits who use this site ;) ), and possibly even the Japanese Ads. :D

I think the entertainment factor is pretty much all it's worth. In general, people don't change very easily.

Wowsers, I never even thought about the foreign ads...I just assumed those were the only ones available. Maybe I'll throw those up when I get some spare bandwidth to upload all of the files. :D

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

The gaming one is definitely the best out of those. I've seen those people before and the Linux guy is hilarious.

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.
