The Seinfeld-Gates Microsoft commercials

[basilbr]

Whilst it's not a long lasting replacement to Seinfeld, the second season/series of Extras (Ricky Gervais) plays out in a very similar way during most episodes.

New commercial is up: http://gizmodo.com/5052051/microsofts-im-a...but-not-hodgman

 

It's actually not that bad. It's not quirky or funny but it pretty much cuts off Apple's Mac vs. PC commercials.

The Seinfeld/Gates commercials were 10x better. These new commercials are the same old crap you see on TV with getting a 2 second screen cap of a person from every nationality. It's extremely overdone.

 

Microsoft could have really went far with the Seinfeld/Gates commercials. It had a level of uniqueness I haven't seen since the Seinfeld show. It was only a matter of time before they could have made it more about the Vista product than about "nothing". They blew it IMO.

Most people found the commercials odd and alienating.
