Video: Microsoft's Seinfeld ad

commentary When Microsoft revealed it would pay comedian Jerry Seinfeld US$10 million to star in a series of advertisements, a few eyebrows were raised. See the first results of the collaboration below.

Our opinion? Not even the added star power of Bill Gates could help save this partnership: with the first results of the partnership being decidedly lukewarm. Reports suggest that this is merely a teaser for the follow up ads; however, if this is the pick of the bunch, we do not hold much hope for the remainder.

    ...they just can't get anything right these days, can they ?
    Maybe they should just steal the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads instead ?

    Laughable for all the wrong reasons.

    Interesting that the shop name is 'Shoe Circus', because hasta la Vista is one circus that should be given the boot!

    Seriously, if Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn't suck, it will probably be a vacuum cleaner.

    ROFLMAO, WTF was that all about??
    The ad goes for a minute and a half, and they spend 10 or 15 seconds actually talking about MS.
    Oh, I get it the whole ad was the joke!!

    Who's the comedian? The guy looking in the window??

    Hey, here's a thought - let Gruen Transfer give it the once-over. Should be good for a _real_ laugh!

    It was good. You haters don't have a clue about ads, comedy or operating systems, seemingly.
