Apple today posted the company’s latest ad in their “Get a Mac” campaign to their home page and also to their “Get a Mac” ads section.
The new ad features the familiar “Mac and “PC” characters, but with a twist for the holidays, as the ad is done in the Rankin/Bass animation style. Justin Long who plays the “Mac” and John Hodgman who plays the “PC” contribute voiceovers for the new ad and also “sing.”
In the ad, a desperate “PC” bastardizes the holiday spirit by injecting a plea for people to buy PCs instead of Macs while Santa and “Mac” look on disapprovingly:

To BiZarRo BaLlmEr:
Nice!
Thanks, Macromancer!
I’ve always thought Ballmer was a bomb in a bull.
The commercial should have ended with Santa saying “PC” in a disapproving tone & shaking his head………
Ampar, are you Eric Boggs, because I pictured you a lot older and possibly indian. I don’t know why. Maybe just because of the smart and funny indians I know, but it might be weird for me to rearrange who I think you are in my head if you turn out to be Eric Boggs.
Zune Tang …. dork …
Ampar, you are one funny mother..SHUT YO MOUTH!
Cheers!
Sigh…yet another ad targeted at Apple fans! It sucked. Unless you love South Park. MW: “change” it, for chrissakes.
j: I’m not Eric.
And thanks, Mo!
Also, Rankin/Bass is right up there with Sid & Marty Krofft.
The wife and I thought this one was very funny. Too bad SunCom and others did it long before Apple.
Great touch…
NOW I want ANOTHER Mac!
Nice see you back Zune Tang.
Was gettng worried….
