Seinfeld Windows commercial

[offroadaaron]

This seems to be a build up to some more ads. Didn't you see Bill adjust his underwear?

if these are anything to go by, I hope there is no build up, because if there is I bet its lame unfortunately.

[majortom1981]

Hmm it not like it was any better or worse then the apple ads. The apple ads are so full of lies and exagerations that they arent any better.

It wasnt a good advertisement but i found the commercial entertaining.

Yeah the apple ads are so much better anyway. :no:

This Epic Fail is proudly presented to.. Microsoft!

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Wow, that wasn't good at all. The HP one was better. Click

to watch it. It's 10x better than the Microsoft commercial.

[Tech Star]

Wow that was not good. :( Mac vs. PC ads FTW!

[LingeringSoul]

What a complete waste of money.

Couldn't have said it better. Microsoft went far out of their way in order to get a celebrity to endorse their product and churned out one of the worst commercials I've seen in recent memory.

I don't particularly like Apple's ads, but at least their advertising concepts are decent (the implementations are a different story). This Microsoft ad was just a bad idea.

WTF......That was their attempt at promoting vista???????????????????????????????????? It has NOTHING to do with Vista. jesus Christ!!.

I mean ****, this is ****ing more informative than that piece of ****!!!

I think this is similar to the Credit Card commercials with Superman and Seinfeld. This was just merely an introduction. I can see this becoming really funny at some point after this introduction.

[travelcard]

"Is that your toe?"

"No"

"What is it?"

"Leather"

That was pretty good, but overall it leaves a huge taste of WTF?

Perhaps lashings of bizarre will be good for Microsoft. They are trying to change the overall image of Microsoft - not sell 'more copies of Vista' as many of the replies so far have said. Bill said that he's fed up with the Mac V PC ads and this is to counter those.

Maybe over time these zany ads will change our perception of MS, and if it does, then they'll have been a success.

[ahfunaki]

Hmm, not sure how I feel about this one...

I thought it was great that the picture on his discount card was his mugshot:

It was made in the spirit of Seinfeld the series..... it's not hilarious, but i found it funny. It's seinfeld being seinfeld.

That has got to be the best commercial I've ever seen. Then again, I love Jerry Seinfeld's comedy. In fact, I have tickets to go see his standup in exactly 2 weeks. :D

As far as selling Vista, nah, I don't think it'll help... if anything it'll make Microsoft more "approachable".

Yeah, I liked it quite a bit. I'm not a huge fan of Seinfeld, but I thought the commercial worked really well.

I love how all the anti-MS fanboys have waken up again ..

Sure .. it's kinda a funky ad but it has a different style of humour (a style which isn't populair anymore, it was more prominent in the 90's). Most people don't get the point... it's not about promoting anything.

You'll get more of these ... and then you'll say "ohhhh".

I have 10 times more respect for this commercial then those mindless MacVsPC which are dumb and downright wrong.

Does this promote Vista? No, it doesn't has to do that.

Take up communication / PR course 101 and you'll know why..

Sticks and stones, loser.

@ MMaster23

I don't know about that, many users only use Windows because it runs their favorite software.

My contention is that most users on Neowin are not fanboys (either way), but know what's funny and what is a confusing / poor attempt at advertising. Advertising something that isn't clear.

If they are advertising Windows then what has Bill Gates at a shoe store buying expensive uncomfortable shoes got to do with selling Windows?!

[HoochieMamma]

Wow, that was totally useless.
