After a quarter of a century, this is still one of Apples best advertisements
.ever. Hard to believe that it has been 25 years, almost to the day, since this ad came out.

I never have understood what the big deal is behind this commercial. Maybe I just never have got it.
Too bad it was all a lie. The control Apple exerts over its user's would make any Big Brother jealous.

i wonder how the workers in china's apple sweatshop factories feel.
Everyone remembers it, but how many remember what teams were playing in that super bowl? I couldn't tell ya without looking it up.
Actually, it's considered to be one of the greatest commercials ever made. Everyone remembers it, but how many remember what teams were playing in that super bowl? I couldn't tell ya without looking it up.

I believe the word in this case is Irony.
Oh, the bitter sweet Irony.
Yes, im capping it on purpose.
Ha ha reminds me of the "Planet Express" ad by "That guy". Leela blew up Mom!
The point in advertising is to get your product remembered in whatever manner works. To this day, that ad is the single most effective piece of advertising in history based on the amout of times it ran... what's remarkable is that it was only aired once. Advertising Age hailed it as the best ad of the decade.
The only other 80's ad campaign I clearly remember is where's the beef? and Wendy's ran those ads non stop.
So Apple got their money's worth, and then some.
It's not even funny or good, it's just a bad commercial in general.
By that logic:If you look at it from that point of view then yes, but not if you look at it as an alternative to the dominating computing paradigm existing at the time.
Anyone remember the Obama ad clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h3G-lMZxjo
I'm surprised Apple would let them run that (if that's a real ad). Especially for a primary.
Might be a clue to which why Apple leans eh?
Then you miss the point entirely, which is unfortunately the case with ignorant people.
(more stuff)
That would be somewhat redeeming... but they won't.
Raiders and Redskins actually.I think it was the 49ers and Dolphins.
