Uh, here’s Microsoft second Seinfeld video hoping to go viral or whatever…
Gates+Seinfeld ‘New Family’ – long version:

Good Jobs not in heaven!
Okay, so mildly to semi-amusing in spots and yet, still, amazingly, we feel no burning desire, in fact, no desire at all, to dump our superior Macs for crappy low-margin PCs running a bloated, frustrating, upside-down and backwards fake Mac OS called Windows. Call us crazy if you will. The complete lack of rigid churros didn’t help (that’s what the girl said at the picnic). But, it didn’t hurt, either (that’s what the guy said at the picnic).
That said, by all means, Microsoft, keep right on wasting millions of dollars and shooting tons of video and buying time/impressions. Don’t bother trying to make your products better; spend more on marketing instead.
By the way, how much time is Gates spending on this uncool fiasco? Isn’t he supposed to be out papering the world with his ill-gotten gains in a vain attempt to buy his way into heaven?
“…and he believes in heaven– (not that there’s anything wrong with that)”
Just more freaking proof that MS cannot innovate. LOL
i laughed… but then felt bad about it.
Sad.
I would want Gates & Seinfeld out of MY bedroom, too!

Have to admit… I liked it.
Unbelievable how lame and pathetic this is. The MS ship is sinking! With any luck they will double the ad budget and die a quicker death.
Wow, lame is right!
It was certainly more entertaining than the shoe store. But I’ll keep my Mac, thanks.
Not a total waste of time. It was somewhat funny.
@ Spark,
Gates was still working on his shoes, did ya notice?
I gotta agree with MDN. Some parts have a certain je ne sais quoi, but how the hell will it sell PCs?
What the hell was that! And why! Wait…I’m going out to buy a PC now…finish the comment later
Can’t help it, I laughed. I still enjoy Seinfeld reruns and anytime Bill Gates can laugh at himself. But what this has to do with improving M$’s image or making anyone desire their products, who, on this great Earth, can say?
Notice how Billy Goat the Thief stole from the delivery guy? All he knows how to do is steal.
Hmmm, well it was better than the last ad…. But WHAT THE HELL does it say about WINDOWS??? I mean this really seemed like a trailer for a new Seinfeld and Gates “buddy” movie.
Seriously, this is NOT going to sell windows boxes. Who couldn’t see that?!
To add:
Watching these “ads” is like watching a train wreck occurring; you can’t possibly turn away! I want to see the next one!
Still has the homoerotic overtones; now they’re rooming together, still bending the shoe, probably showering together. This isn’t going to appeal to mainstream America. Blech! Will have to wait for MDN to post another followup article to the kinky one regarding the 1st ad.
MDN ought to write the ads instead.
I laughed ten times more during the brief MDN Take than I did during the 4:30 video.
Bill & Jerry are just like Microsoft& Windows:
Out of touch with the average person
Useless
No idea what stuff is valued at
Take your work from you, leaving you nothing
Aimlessly wandering to nowhere
I liked Seinfeld’s Superman commercials better.
well, thats it. I’m sold. I have a macbook pro, powerbook g4, iMac g4, Airport w/ Wireless N, AppleTV, a red iPod nano, 2 iPhones and a mac color classic. I will be putting everything on craigsist immediately to fund my Vista purchase. I can’t believe i’ve been a fool for so long. Thank jeebus they made these commercials!
Now where’s my dust-off… it makes me feel like i’m walking on sunshine!
I stopped at 1 minute, I couldn’t take it any more.
This ad is obscure enough when you know who these guys are. What could you possibly make of this if you did not no one or the other or both?
wow..umm..simply wow. Tylenol and early bed for me cause I just don’t see it…what…the…hell?????
