Apple’s ‘Get a Mac’ TV ad campaign officially concludes – here’s a recap

One commenter argues that this campaign is really more Justin Long vs the very cool John Hodgman:

“I always thought this was the stupidest thing ever. Basically the world divides into two camps: 1) people who go by appearances, who think Justin Long looked hip, and 2) people who know how awesome John Hodgman is, and who therefore thought: “Hey, being a PC must be pretty cool if he’s one”. Good casting, Apple!”

…ending a particularly irritating chapter of tech advertising history. The window for nostalgia here is impossibly small, so watch this comprehensive recap while you still care.

In five years time you’ll probably be glad to have forgotten these ads ever existed, but today and today only, it’s worth watching OneMoreThing’s amazingly thorough recap of all the spots. Who knew so many of these even existed?

Not that anyone truly cares; but this was a clever ad campaign.
