Favorite Apple commercial?

[b24pgg]

I think this debuted during the Super Bowl 5 or 6 years ago. One of my favorite commercials ever.

Is that a real Apple ad?

Damn. Time flies.

They Haven't Made Mine Yet

I even have half of the video done ,myself....(can't post it) goes something along the lines of what my friends say when they come in for a beer:


Can't you stop buying stuff?

 

[boss.king]

Yup

I'm honestly a bit shocked, and not in a good way. It seems like such a corny ad.

My favourite (I don't watch many) would have to be this (3rg Gen Nano)

Simple, catchy, and fun.

EDIT: I'm assuming you mean an ad for a product btw, if not then definitely "The Crazy Ones" is far and away number 1.

I always had a fond affection for the "There's no Step 3" commercial. It really changed the way I personally thought about how something should work.

I did also enjoy the Yao Ming 12"/17" Powerbook commercial.

To be honest, I wish they'd go back to that style of commercial again. Cute, humorous, and "that makes you think" commercials have always been Apple's strong suit. The last commercial that pulled this off was the Air/Manilla envelope one. I wish they did something similar with the iPad 2 commercials. The current crop is honestly overly pretentious.

So, I'll have to be the first to answer with a cliché and say Apple's "1984" ad?

Give me deep philosophical meaning and I'm on board.

I also like Apple's "colors" iMac commercial; it's been awhile since Apple's impressed me with a commercial.

 

[Mrguidogenio]

Think Different must be that!

 

[wrinkster22]

powermac g4 cube ad
all of them lol
4gen iPod nano
3gen iPod nano

 

[KeriJane]

The 1984 commercial is tops.

I also like the I'm a Mac / I'm a PC commercials.
Especially the one where PC says: "Cut to a Commercial!" and Mac replies: "But we ARE a Commercial!"

The Think Different ads are the best, but I also really like the new iCloud ad. The musics sound good and I think iCloud is a really cool product, especially when they show that you can use normal apps such as the drawing one, and pick it up instantly on any device. I'm an iOS developer, so I just eat this stuff up.

I have to say the recent ipad commercials are very good. I like how they touch on the humanity and how people are using this technology. It beats all the tech specs blitz with pounding rave music other companies are making.

My favorite Apple commercial is the one that kicked off the "Think Different" campaign right after Steve came back to Apple. I love the message behind it.

And for those of who don't know, Steve Jobs did a narrated version that was never aired. Here it is:

This is the best all time commercial. I still remember seeing it for the first time - giving me goose bumps.

The only Apple ad I can really recall is the PowerMac G5 blowing a guy through the wall.

...Cancel or Allow?

That has to be my favorite.

 

[dXTC]

That has to be my favorite.

My second favorite of that campaign was "Choose A Vista," where PC spins a big prize wheel to see which Vista flavor he gets to install. To PC's disappointment, the wheel stops on Lose A Turn. I love Mac's final retort:

Always loved the iMac G4 window shopping ad:

 

[RawBert]

The iPod Touch 2 commercial. iLove this song. I play it often in the car.

Today I got the white iPod T to replace the 2 from late 2008. Damn, it seems like so long ago. The App Store was still new.

 

[Melrose]

There are some of the I'm A Mac ads that are simply inspired, but for me it's gotta be Will Ferrell.

Because they were my first exposure to Apple advertising. I was hooked.

This one I really like:

I also love the one posted by the OP.

But that iMac G4 window shopping advert is hilarious.
