They actually have pretty good burgers, IMO. Not quite as good as Wendy's but better than Burger King.

Oh, and those Seinfeld/Gates commercials were lame. Good riddance.

Given those choices I'd swallow the beer can to my left full of cig butts and hope Doc Emmett Brown and his time-traveling-delorian could find a way to turn it into usable energy before I died...

Not big on fast food, eh? :D

Would anyone else ravage the sarcastic wife sonic lady?

The whole Seinfeld MS ad campaign is a microcosm of the way MS handles their entire computing platform.

You say to the man who ate (and I have witnesses) Arby's, and only Arby's, for over 62 hours...

I always found those commercials easier to take when I changed the channel to the test pattern.

Baby Lee 09-18-2008 07:36 PM

Anyone know where to catch them? They're the ONLY commercials I've seen in forever.

Maybe I was the one guy in their target audience, but I skip EVERYTHING, but if I catch a glimpse of Jerry or Bill in passing through, I'd hop back and give it a glance.

Those Sonic ads are actually quite brilliant. TJ Jagadowski is a master improviser and his Chicago shows always sell out. The ads themselves are improvised and range from amusing to hilarious. It's easily one of the best ad campaigns on television and I don't understand how anybody could hate them.

The Mac-PC ads were clever at first but now are boring and overdone. That being said, John Hodgman (the guy who plays the PC) is absolutely brilliant. Anybody who has not read The Areas of My Expertise needs to run out and buy it right now. It's hilarious.

He's also great on The Daily Show.

Man, I just saw why they ditched the Seinfeld campaign.
Their new commercial where they introduce 'the PC' and point out how he's been made into a caricature, and then follow up people announcing their flaws, saying 'they're' a PC.

Trenchant.

Does this mean they're not gonna make delicious edible computers?:rolleyes:

morphius 09-18-2008 08:33 PM

There are few ad campaigns that deserved to be cut more than this one.

New MS Ads:

They at least have a point. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd want to use Windows after seeing the commercial.

Does this mean Seinfeld is officially no longer funny?

Cause I always thought he was funny.

Who decided he's not funny now?

I did.

His show sucked. Overrated.
