In Videos: Mac vs. PC in Apple Computer Pizza Box Ad

"Come eat me. I'm a delicious pizza."

20080819-mac-pizza-box-ad.jpg

I'm not the first to point out that the Apple vs. PC ads are annoying. John Hodgman as the personification of "PC" is much more likable than Justin Long as "Mac." But even though these ads unintentionally make me a PC fan, they're usually pretty fun. In the latest Apple commercial, PC hides in a pizza box, as it's the only way he figures college students will choose him. Watch the video, after the jump.

TOO MUCH STUFF ON THIS SITE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SERIOUS EATING.

I really liked that commercial. Pizza pretty much defined college for me. Pizza and illegal music downloads.

@LiveToEat: Pizza and buying LPs and CDs for me. Music downloads were before my time. I do remember converting my CDs to AIFF files and toting my Iomega Zip drive to the school newspaper office with 5 or so Zip disks with songs on them. I think AIFF song files would output to 20MB, so my Zips could only hold 3 or 4. It was more about actually being able to make the music "portable" than it was capacity. Fun times.

@CheeseburgerDeluxe: Check back later. We will try to run a SERIOUS item at some point today.

@LiveToEat, maybe there could be a new ad where PC is being led away by the authorities, and he tells Mac "my illegal music downloads were detected by all the spyware I have loaded".

Funny commercial; a lot of them recently haven't been.

F**K serious, we get that all day long!

Yea........Go Mac! I've used both machines, and I'm a true, diehard Mac fan. Once you've experienced the mac environment, you'll never go back. Who needs 18 million viruses. Not mac.

A) One of the cool things about this site is the variety. From serious to silly.

B) The "Caps Lock" button is located on the far left side on the keyboard.

C) This is the third post you've made today, saying the same thing. Stop it.

NPR did a bit some time back about how John Hodgman is the cooler of the two. But I'm getting ready to make the move to Mac too.

Way to be a jerkwad, CheeseburgerDeluxe.
