Slacker Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Did you guys see these switcher commercials from Apple? These things are hilarious! I'm not bashing Apple in particular (never bash the company you work for if they might be watching), but these things are indescribable. It's not that they are Apple commercials, they just are really funny! First see this one... http://www.apple.com/switch/ads/hamiltonmorris.html Then see this one (This chick must be stoned or something): http://www.apple.com/switch/ads/ellenfeiss.html My question is, are these grade 'b' actors or actual people? If they are people, how were they paid, and how did the director not get anything better from them? I'm sure that they are nice people in real life, but these commercials are too funny.

Miran Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Ummmmm....... Not trying to bust your bubble but there was a long, long thread a while back devoted to these ads. And yes, I agree they are funny-stupid.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted September 19, 2002 Author Share Posted September 19, 2002 I saw the origional ads that were done at the beginning of the campaign, but these ads are new to me. I don't know when this second batch of ads came out but I find them to be funny. I don't konw how I missed them on the release date, but I don't keep track of Apple's promotions, only thier product releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenMaster Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Actually this is a bit different: an interview with one of the switchers. Care to read? Follow the link :) http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1737 Edit: Most of the switch ads can be seen in streaming video from Apple's web site BTW.
