A New Commercial for Apple: Mac and PC Meet Linux

May 30th, 2008 2 comments

[Usual white backdrop with usual music] 

PC: Hello, I’m a PC.

Mac: And I’m a Mac.

Linux [Jumping in from off screen with a big smile. Linux is wearing jeans, flip-flops, a whacky t-shirt, an old tweed blazer, and thick framed glasses. A mash up, he’s got tattoos on his arms and a boyish charm. Part geek, part hippy, part punk]: MAC!!!

Mac: Linux! What’s up, man?

PC [A bit snarkily]: And who might this be, Mac? Another one of your “friends,” I assume.

Mac: Oh! Linux, this is PC. Linux is kind of like my cousin. You could say we’re cut from the same kernal.

Linux [Presenting a bag of candy and holding some out as if to offer to Mac and PC]: I brought snacks!

Mac [Holding out hands to accept some treats]: He loves to share.

PC [Arms folded, PC’s already had enough.]: Uh. No thanks, I don’t really like sharing. And… I don’t really know where you’ve been. [Raising finger as if making a point, turning and walking away] Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to configure some things.

Linux [Super excited and walking after PC]: Oh! I love configuring things!

PC [Looking over shoulder a bit frightened and starting to nerdishly jog quickly away]

Linux [Chasing after PC]: Oh, come on, where’s the love? Open up a little!

Mac [Charmingly smiles and shrugs shoulders at camera]

[End]

Obviously, since I missed out on being the Mac, I’d want to be cast as Linux :)

I recently watched a commercial starring Jamie Lee Curtis, of Halloween fame and Halloween H20 infamy, touting Dannon-brand Activia yogurt.

Activia, you see, is the only yogurt with the culture Bifidus Regularis. Jamie Lee smilingly points to the nutritional information on the carton where she assures us that a wealth of information on this bacteria’s unique qualities can be read, including its ability to aid in the later phases of the digestive process.

At the commercial’s conclusion, Jamie Lee says something along the lines of: Activia yogurt makes for a great read, and “I love how this story ends!”

Is this a poop joke?
