[kingofkings262]

triple h did this too

[MrEngranaje]

Rainbow apple at the end of the video.

Switch to restricted white-only apple today that fits right in with 1984... What?

[g70460us]

This is almost exactly like half life 2 commercial

[MrSplademan]

@g70460us

bloody trolls.

[Mr4thDoctor]

@g70460us That's because the Half Life commercial is a parody of this commercial. Get your facts straight.

[TheLakabanzaichrg]

@Mr4thDoctor this is a parody of 1984

[PsychoGirl300]

lol

[SpeedAndSlowKing]

i realized its like the HL2 trailer

[CaptainAlliance]

lol.

[vblog1989]

Why does the freedom fighter look like a hooters waitress?

[DaGamer64]

When does it say our enemies will be eaten by squirrels?

[RarityFan]

"Our enemies shall be eaten by squirrels"

[SuperRabbitJack]

She looked like Chell

[95Godfather]

i had no idea ridley scott directed the original commercial

[pablof59]

A genuine Ridley Scott masterpiece !!

[TheRj2202]

hey its the girl from portal

[Destroyer4292]

"1984" Oh I see what you did there.

[spectator62]

HA I get all those jokes now

[socalvideo1]

@travisjunior-Good question, I've done some research and it's fairly inconclusive. But it seems fairly clear that the didn't model if after 1984 after Nazi Germany.

[major600]

Brilliant. That commerical was the talk of school the next day. Is that actor the same one who played Tyrell in "Blade Runner"?

[Baldoxxx4000]

what is she doing out there? I thought she was working at Hooters...

[tomhas10]

The chick reminds me of Chell from portal 2!

[DolantheDuck]

"Hey we were watching that!"

[socalvideo1]

No, it's supposed to be Bill Gates, notice he's wearing two pairs of glasses, one on top of the other? A double slam at Gates.

[TheMcSaf]

And so, the hipsters where born.

always freak about the mainstream.

[PsychoGirl300]

Is this a movie or a commercial

[2die4blood]

A few questions: Why did the heroine throw the hammer at the screen? Is that steve jobs on the screen? What are the robots for? And what up with the riot cops?

[keozeo]

@2die4blood bill gates.

[socalvideo1]

@2die4blood The hammer is symbolic of soviet russia (the hammer and the sickle). They aren't robots they're people. They aren't riot cops they're "thought police" it isn't Steve Jobs on the screen. But "Big Brother" (Read George Orwell's 1984, which the commercial was modeled after, for the full horrors of "Big Brother").

[TheTRAVISJUNIOR]

@socalvideo1 cops = police and wasn't the "1984" regime modelled after Nazi Gremany more than Soviet Russia

[MapleAI]

This is full of statistical sanity

[BazukaKasuko]

I liked the Hooters girl.

[11ateneo11]

Sandwich

[Thetechguy2000]

I don't understand this commercial. Why did they smash the screen?

[iamkennysp1]

@Thetechguy2000 You need to read the book 1984. That make make it more clear.

[Thetechguy2000]

@iamkennysp1 OK.

[socalvideo1]

@Thetechguy2000 The screen and the man talking on it are symbolic of IBM and their dominance of the PC/computer market at the time. The girl is "apple computer" who sets the people free by smashing IBM's dominance of the PC market.

[Thetechguy2000]

@socalvideo1 I get that. But isn't the person on the screen who is supporting the PC Steve Jobs?

[ponquinful]

I liked Futurama's version better.

[SSUstufRudel]

And the Hooters girl done it!

[stueckdreck]

1984 was 27 years ago.

[ArolWright]

@stueckdreck Nooo, the 1984 was 1000 years ago (note sarcasm)

[fauxgt]

i dont really get it, is this really a remake, or was just the ipod edited?

[huntermhaxx]

A garden, of pure ideology...

[Treblaine]

I see they didn't have sports bras back in 1984 either.

[eiroight]

lol now i see the parody that the simpsons did in the mapple store with comic book guy. lol

[mfaizsyahmi]

Steve Wozniak shall prevail.

[wingweaver84]

1984-so the Mac came out the year I was born.That's a cool fact!

[louthleviathan]

but will it blend?

[TheSyikes]

@louthleviathan What kind of stupid comment is that?

[louthleviathan]

@TheSyikes one that gets approval by complete strangers who get the reference... ooo does it hurt?

Looks like....

*puts on glasses*

...troll got burned.

YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

[joewhatthehellman]

@TheSyikes how do you not know that referance?

[TheSyikes]

@joewhatthehellman I do know that reference.

[joewhatthehellman]

@TheSyikes otay :)

[Magnetbrainn]

@louthleviathan Yes. Yes it will. I tried.

[bobert4him]

Steve was a combination Thomas Edison, Harry Quadracci and Paul McCartney. He was one of the few massively rich people that didn't waste his wealth on greed. Apple Corp is trying to institutionalize his management style. Good luck.

At home, he drove his kids to school and did his own shopping. At work, Steve literally changed the world.

[bfsparrow]

Steve Jobs, Rest In Peace. You were the original reason that I began using apple computers, I only hope that Apple will continue to flourish, even with your absence.

[frios011]

You changed my life Steve Jobs, RIP

[ithomaslin]

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

[bullmoosebailey]

R.I.P. Steve Jobs, operative from the future. You were so ahead of our time that the genius of some of your devices is only now becoming clear. Thank you for sharing your technical and social genius with us and in a way changing how the West communicates. Your work in pioneering personal computing, particularly through public relations and advertising destigmatization of the field, will be fundamental for another generation.Radio, Television & Film will never be the same. "Think different"

[OMGitsDSypl]

Oh now it makes sense!!

RIP Steve Jobs. You made my life much more tolerable, and because of you, I can walk through school with some tolerance. You touched the lives of millions- no billions, and you will go down in history.

[Krikthomer]

R.I.P. The Genius Steve Jobs

[Duttyman123]

RIP STEVE JOBS!

[MrBigEnchilada]

lol she should have thrown the ipod with it

[LtFalconPawnch]

sure am glad that 1984 wasnt like "1984"

[punkprincesspurple]

All they did was put an ipod on her? I expected the ending to be for an ipod.

[Seto8881]

Anyone see that her has iPod?

[flensingknife]

bouncy bouncy

[jpopcorn]

@tron. You've repeatedly posted your comment on apple advert videos. frankly, you have no idea what the cloud will or won't 'actually' do unless you're an os5 beta tester working at apple. So no. I see assumptions. uploading songs from a data centre doesn't mean we're under control. I bought a PC instead.

[tron178]

let me just lol a little bit when i am seeing this, apple fully integrating cloud :P any1 see a connection?

[6of6]

So that is what telescreens looks like 0:05 ! Also that blonde chick is so unperson now. 

[VectronicsAppleWorld]

@finickyweapon241258 Keep your advertising crap off my videos. You have been banned, low life spammer.

[drrobertoboogie97]

Thumbs up if you understand the concept of this ad which is flaming IBM's then-monopolistic position

[4Zook44]

I love how they forgot to continue the commercial, to the part where the woman gets killed by the guards for leaving the kitchen.

[fenderbooy13]

@4Zook44 if you saw the original commercial nothing along those lines ever happened

[MultiGilligan]

this is, like, almost exactly the same

[doctorc4]

So I am reading 1984. There is part where Winston describes his work. He revises old newspapers and then the old versions are destroyed. Now, what got me was that this practice reminded me of the 2004 remake of the 1984 Apple commercial. They put an iPod on her. Thanks to the Internet, we know that there has been an alteration, but this is the kind of thing that they talk about in the book. Nice one guys!

[GrumpSkull]

@doctorc4 You talk in illegal 'OldSpeak'. These days we must talk in 'NewSpeak' in the form of brief text messages and acronyms that are an abomination of meaningfull language.

Be carefull, the infants are watching and have cameras everywhere as they are the official 'tattle tale' soldiers of the new world order.

[sundhaug92]

@doctorc4 Aw, the irony

[stacysolitude]

@doctorc4 Nice observation. I hadn't noticed the alteration created with the IPOD placement until I read your statement. 

[CaptainAshSpearow]

Every time I watch this ad, I see Alfred Kahn on that screen; because this is how I see 4Kids.

[ThatOneGuy831]

that girl looks pretty

[Ando1017]

Hey we were watching that!

[headcheese3]

@Ando1017 Wait... what?

[ParticalEMotion]

This advertisement is so freaking epic.

[WannaBeANerd]

That is a brilliant commercial. I can't believe the Apple execs wanted to reject it.

[JanjaBoy]

It was done for the twenty years of Macintosh.

[DungeonMaster420]

it was always there. we just didn't notice it.

[jlamadrid91]

no it wasn't if you look for an actual one from 1984 you can tell it wasn;t there.

[marlls1989]

maybe Apple has a timemachine, so they could send them back into the past and give one iPod to the past Jobs, so he could lend it to her. And perhaps the past Jobs also was told that Apple's biggest move was to enter music market not try to defeat the PC hardware and software industry and establish a hardware and software monopoly. Thats may be the reason why he was kicked out of apple and when returned he created the iPods.

[DungeonMaster420]

of course.

[robynsegg]

I know it was done w/ computer graphics, but it really does look like she's been wearing the iPod all along. It looks really cool.

[whitegoosebumps]

I think that the current high-tech internet world has elements that are worst than 1984. We may have reached a point where information is readily available, as in Freedom of Speech and Expression, but in a way we have given up on our Privacy of THOUGHT. Oh, well there is a reason for the Apple logo... and a reason why they chose to bite a piece out;)

[HackerTHATSME]

nice remake but the woman who was throwing the hammer was listening to an iPod XD

[zarquolian]

i think thats the point.

[macnerd93]

this is what apple did, they pasted the iPod in lol

[alfionfire]

pasted it is putting it lightly, thats a frame by frame animation son.

[macnerd93]

umm i think i know i do study media and animation at college

[macnerd93]

sorry but are you being sarcastic or agreeing :P

[alfionfire]

hahahaha. yeah.

[macnerd93]

what are you talking about, i am currently studying Media, animation, graphics & photography at college. I only said that so uneducated people could understand

[alfionfire]

im saying Im also an animator, and if you really have done the work you wouldn't call it "pasting"

[macnerd93]

yes i did just say that so uneducated people could understand it,

[alfionfire]

there really arent that many people that dont understand the concept of animation, to call then uneducated is kinda rude. im gettin outta here man, nice to meet another artist.

[alfionfire]

Im in my last year. If you would still describe this as "pasting" you need a few more.

[macnerd93]

of course the way Apple did that was most likely using there shake software, I use it quote often at college

[surreal6581]

@macnerd93 lol "quote often" yep you are educated for sure.

[macnerd93]

@surreal6581 WOW a simple mistake :D thats kinda what happens when you touch type :D it doesn't take an expert to see that on a QWERTY keyboard the I & the O key is next to each other, I simply just missed it, I'm pretty sure you have made plenty of mistakes
