On Vox: Get a UK Mac

[adderslj]

Over in the US, Apple has been running the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads for a year or so. Some of them are painfully funny. Now, Apple UK has remade some of them, and added a few new ones, with Mitchell & Webb in the lead roles.

I actually thing they work a little better than the US ones, because the PC isn't a hell of a lot more likeable than the Mac, as is the case with the originals.

Anyone that uses "tentacle of the octopus" as a motivating phrase is clearly in the right. :P

Though, man, he missed a fine opportunity to rag on the French.

These are significantly better than the original US ads - in part because Mitchel & Webb are a fantabulous comedy team, and, as you say, because there isn't such a drastic difference in charisma between the Mac and PC (and this is said as someone who *likes* the US GetaMac ads)
