Japanese Get A Mac CM 1 Subtitled "Nicknames"

[LittleBIGRacer]

Apple just said that they're not useful for work in this ad.

[georgelikesmusic]

Mac in Japanese: Mah-kuh!

[iplikator]

When he said "so you must be very special, like a friend" Is this somehow related to japanese traditions?

[chica476]

I thought, "Hajee-may-mash-teh" meant, "Pleased to meet you"

nyoron?

:?

[mikikaoru]

@chica476 It's a standard greeting used the first time you introduce yourself, so either would be correct. In this context, it would be unnatural to use "pleased to meet you" as they're not actually meeting us, so I went with the other common translation.

[signupsigma]

In the american add, PC guy is supposed to be nerdy and the Mac is supposed to be cool.

WIth the Japanese ad, they both kind of look the same. Difference is that the guy in the business suit looks more powerful.

[pyrohydro123]

Japancese terms for PC:Sum-Ting-Wong.

[mikikaoru]

@pyrohydro123 I think you mean Chinese...

[UltimatePisman]

@pyrohydro123 Japanese term for PC: パソコン (Pasokon), which means パーソナルコンピュター (Personal Computer).

[MrXrofl]

yeah! let's pay twice more for a machine that's less reliable with inferior hardware!

oh wait.

[AngelsWings]

Mac...like BigMac...like it gets you fat.

[1RazorI]

Yeah, PCs are only for work. I'm going to go play Left 4 Dead on my PC now, see ya.

[lolofdoom]

HAHAHA

[UltimatePisman]

「マク」と「ワーク」！

マク！

[KashiwaDaisuke]

Yes, PCs are solely for work.

I'ma go play Counter-Strike now.

[tiaxanderson]

I'm organizing my Anime now (and registering it at some sites) and after I'm done reading up on ECMAScript, wanna play some Borderlands? I've got C-S, Sins of a Solar Empire, Supreme Commander and every C&C too xD

[yummdiddy]

mac real nickname should be "profit margin

[Gen0cideBeats]

Why lie, 90% of home users use PCs. In the world!

[brokensongbrokensoul]

Yes, you are correct. But the point of this commercial is that there are rarely any macs in the workplace. Most macs are used at home for personal use. That is why PCs are related more to work than macs.

[4yumikid]

Windows PC nickname = "work" XD that is fact!

[iLuis21]

you so fuckin stupid pc have tons of games mac baierly has any

[brokensongbrokensoul]

Wow, I can see that all the game playing on your PC has caused your spelling and grammar to be completely obliterated. Good job.

[iLuis21]

thats fuckin stupid your just fuckin jealous my pc can do more shit than your Mac name it i can match it

[UltimatePisman]

@iLuis21 Okay, how about, how to protect Windows from Spyware natively? How to help you out of your M$ dream and get you on open standards? Can Windows read and write on HFS, EXT4 or ReiserFS? Does Windows run on ARM processors? Is Windows better in Multitasking and Multi-user than Linux/Unix? Answers: It can't natively. Own answer. No. No. Linux/Unix is a lot better, and support it from the very beginning.

[theinhtun1]

well pc is the nickname for windows

[SubkipRanch]

Maacu. Worku!

[wiiredjr]

It's spelt like:

Makku and Wakku!

More funny and similar that way :3. Not correcting you though.

[shuffle33]

lol, it's Rahmen!!

[PianoScience]

The Japanese Tradition is to...

....Get A Mac!!!

[Reanimator999]

I'm surprised that this kind of advertisement idea works in Japan.

[RSCrystal]

Hilarious. The problem is, the Asian countries make such flamboyant commercials...

[Kuceman]

Wow this Mac and PC seem less hostile towards each other.

[wolfpupgal]

Those subs are perfect! This is my favorite one... I love the ending!
