Apple 1984 Macintosh commercial

[Charles2337]

lol pretty ironic commercial.

[icandynetwork]

Funny how Apple has since traded places.

[cochese13]

The worst video quality. Ever.

[piedathemokona]

Rest in peace, Steve Jobs... <3

[marioacpp]

I didnt understand, someone can explain it to me?

please

[Bloodsteame]

So.. much..symbolism!

[juventusSiamoNoi]

where the trolls started to live

[jorgerios1616]

it's stupid and boring

[TobyB22]

Anyone else see a remblance of the runners outfit to that of a Hooters Girl???? Maybe not as tight, but the colours are there.

[richiemo2000]

THX 1138

[P1200VB]

Really bad quality on this one

[dgl1962]

To all of my American brothers, this cannot happen as long as we remain heavily armed and never relinquish them.

To all of you Brits who plan on whining to me about those "evil guns in the USA", you are already halfway to a "1984" style life and there's little that you can do to alter that fact, so please keep it to yourself.

[taiyoutekken]

Wow. This commercial takes a gigantic turn in irony now that it's being discovered that iPhones and iPads are actually logging location data whether you want them to or not.

[FindMeInKurume]

@taiyoutekken What are you saying, actual logs in a location make data?

[taiyoutekken]

@FindMeInKurume Apparently.

[KNGABZ]

@taiyoutekken what do you mean ?

[taiyoutekken]

@KNGABZ I mean what I said. It actually tracks you wherever you use your phone.

[CovyHunter]

O.o stephenking is funny even though his comment is 3 years old it still has me LMFAO xD

For the 3 year old comment n00b down there, it not that Microsoft doesn't want to add a Macintosh emulator to run Apply it more like it impossible to do so legally.

Because of patten laws bill gates needs steve's permission to use his software which steve aint gona give out for anyone.. ..

Plus macintosh demands a motherboard made by apple anyway.

[subbianaki]

Bill Gates pirated Windows 1.0 from Macintosh and took all the glory from Steve Jobs. Though Apple's Mac was inspired from XEROX's technology STEVE JOBS DESERVE all the glory. He must've been the richest person in the world. But the guy who BACK STABBED steve is now the richest. :-( Bill Gates SUCK!!

[Psyblader501]

@subbianaki bill gates is not the richest person in the world you dumbass! and steve jobs suxx!

[Pacdisciple]

Engadget said this commercial was depicting IBM as "Big Brother". If that's true, was the underlying message really an unconscious message about about how IBM was supposedly the inventor of the numbering system used to track prisoners of the holocaust? This is what I read on Engadget.

[Digitbig]

How come every time I see this commercial on YouTube the audio is off-sync?

[joemakerman]

i don't know. maybe its supposed to be that way? not sure.

[kabudska]

i love mac

[stephenkind]

Lol @ Macintosh they are pathetic hence why they released bootcamp, not like you see PC's wanting to run a Macintosh OS lol who the fuk would

[TheWinterFactory]

exactly... what he said XD

[jarheadpa]

What a commercial this was! (and still is) Those were not the hairstyles in men back in the 80's, but I was envious of the smooth heads. I just wish I had known about the filming of the commercial, I would have LOVED to be one of those shaved head guys :)

[kabudska]

1984 is a book that was written in the 40s where everyone wore a gray outfit and a shaved head. that's also why they put "1984" in quotations at the end.

[ScoopProductions]

Damn, you guys should read more books instead of watching Television. The commercial is a parody on the famous book "1984" by George Orwell.

[stardestroyr]

Apple compuer rocks.

[padams24]

This was a pretty forward thinking clip for it's time this is what makes apple unique..their creative vibe.

[dave4248]

Why is the hammer thrower dressed like a "Hooters" waitress?

[ositero1dgb]

LOL!

[pradwastes]

This Superbowl commercial was aired only once in 1984 but may more times on the news and Marketing classes.

[shawrules34]

Mac is for hippies and fucktards and/or queers

[Tranchera]

Don't worry, you'll ALWAYS be my fucktard!

[Jellojane]

ha! nice comeback

[wayner8088]

Why do we always have a Mac/Windows debate on every Macintosh video post? How can it not be clear to Windows users that Microsoft copied Mac...the new VIsta is a deliberate imitation of Mac OS X in almost every detail. Get a grip, M$, try to come up with something original.

[Truthiness231]

I concur, just because Microsoft won (and might be back on the decline) doesn't mean every Mac discussion must automatically include the M$ OS..

[spudwoofter]

Ed Grover is the voiceover of this commercial, that ran just once.

[darkciti2]

It ran during the Superbowl.

[coasterfreak212]

Ha Ha, I remeber Futurama Making fun of thiss commercial!

[eromitlabhitw]

Our enemies shall be eaten by squirrels!

[Khalaine]

Hail Steve Jobs, he got the license to GUI's and now he has the License to Multitouch screens in 2006, 2 years from vista, the first Multitouch comps will come and destroy and reinvent the Computing world

[loldawson]

Waa waa, Apple is no Windows :'( Listen Steve Jobs is the founded of the best computer company in the world, Apple, are more efficent, more powerful and are always two steps ahead of windows. When Vista is released we'll soon see how much of a copy of OS X it really is, and when Leopard is released we'll see how it will never even come close...

[SpeedingStudent]

Even back then, Apple whined about not being on top. Screw the rotten apple. Go Windows!!!!
