  • whaaaat is. Up with these commerciaal??

  • haha/. thats funny

  • great commercial

  • No one gets humor like this anymore...oh well. But Bill Gates basically made these commercials to say "Yea, I can do it too." -in your face apple

  • I'm not sure If it was funny.

    But now I want to get a new computer.

  • Mr. Gates is alledgely a great businessman. However, this does not mean he is a great programmer, inventor, mathematician, technologist, engineer and so on.

  • i...i don't get it...

  • Would of been funnier if bill gates was working in the shoe store.

  • Is that his mugshot he used on that ID?

  • @MayoFail yep hahaha

  • I like the part in this commercial when the Nazi's open the Ark and those spirits fly out and the one spirit flies up to those two Nazis and at first she's really hot but then her face morphs into that skeleton face and the two faces of the Nazi guys melt and the glasses slide right down the one Nazi guy's face...

  • this is the shittest ad ever!

  • Genius, really. But not everyone can appreciate monty python. Nice to see something for those with an offbeat, non-mainstream sense of humor.

  • ???

  • APPLE ...? breathe easy ;-)

  • I laugh. Hahahahaha

  • This was a commercial?

    It was surprisingly boring. Not annoying, like ads for cleaning products that are being screamed out of your TV, and not all that funny, as Gates' responses are surprisingly boring.

  • Hehe, the picture on the membership card he was holding was his mugshot as a teenager for a traffic violation :)

  • churro?

  • awkward!!!

  • macs kick ass!

  • epic fail

  • take jerry seinfeld off of the seinfeld show and he is about as funny as dental surgery

  • pause at 1:03

  • What a lame, unfunny, stupid-ass commercial

  • didnt get it...

  • what...the...fuck...?

  • I love mac, and hate windows. But there's something magical about this little ad.

  • i hate macs and love windows :)

  • Your personal preference is not interesting.

  • embarrassingly bad.

  • he the one who create the x box .... ritte??

  • ritte? thats not even an abbreviation, wtf

  • hahahahha sory...

  • thats ok, I was just curious about that.

  • wat are you talking about??

  • the ritte thing

  • Hasta La Vista

    Down with Microsoft.  Macs rule

  • Macs can't play games and don't support Cakewalk Sonar.

  • I am not sure what my position on this ad is. But I am really sick of the mac vs. Pc ads. They are getting old, and cutthroat.

  • Retard.

    I'm now getting a Mac.

  • HA HA HA

  • This commercial is ment to make fun about buying stuff with your credit-card in a realtime store, nobody buys shoos online!

    Next commercial will make a joke at DRM. Bill is trying to vote, but his TOM TOM has DRM legal errors on the map.

  • Sorry, Mickey$oft, Crap like this wont win me over. Cutsie commercials like this doesnt prove anything to someone like me who's been working with IBM clones since 1990 that things are going to change anytime soon.

    I am so tired of fixing computers due to print jobs that wont print and get stuck in queue even after reboot. I am so tired of Bluescreen of DEATH.

    Google: AMD Dual core versus 1986 apple - AND YOU WILL SEE that Word documents and spreedsheets ARE NOT FASTER on a machine thats 1000x

  • Worst thing ive ever seen in my life.

  • What pointless waste of money, this is a crap AD

  • the cake is a lie

  • I saw this in a hotel room in Oregon, I burst out laughing..

    It was so great.

  • 0:23 is soo funny.

  • That is funny

  • The commercial is decent, it could be better. I like it, it's waaaaaay better than those lame brainwashing Apple Mac vs PC ads.

  • Okaaaay. This is supposed to compete with the Get A Mac ads... hahah. What a waste of time/money.

  • stupid ass commercial. Makes me want to go out and buy a mac...

  • lol who the fuck thought this ad was a good idea

  • God lighten up people, I think this ads great

    At least they're stuck up dick heads like apple bagging microsoft in all their ads

  • is there a possibility that microsoft gonna be a thing of past..plz approve by shaking ur butt my. gates..:P..!!

  • 0:57 Bill Gates mug shot from previous arrest. Hilarious!

  • what the fuck was that ! make me wanna go with apple..lol

  • Probably the best ad for ...Apple I've ever seen.

    LET'S ROCK on that!

    Oups...

  • MS, Apple... Whatever. The one thing I know is that this was a big mistake by Seinfeld.

  • This shit is the competition of hello y am a Mac helo i am a PC??? Hahaha This commercial Sucks a lot!. Microsoft has to concentreit in try to make better his VISTA sgit and not doing this crap. And i dont get it is very confuse. SHIT COMMERCIAL, SHIT VISTA, SHIT MICROCHOT

  • What a crap commercial. Why, Jerry, whyyyyyy....?

  • I liked it. Can't wait to see the next ad! Now Bill Gates, starring in his own ads, is like Dave Thomas from Wendy's (except not dead)!

  • I like how all the computer illiterate people are switches to apple (good marketing on apple's part), yet they can't even tell you the difference between an OS and a program. Microsoft used to be good at persuading people with ads too, hopefully they will start coming back in this area instead of watching themselves get hammered for 2 more years. I also think they can do better than this commercial.

  • I like your comment it has no ignorant feedbacks.Like most of these fucking people on youtube!

  • don't be sad you got suckered into buying a mac...

  • hahahaha sweeet

  • i dont get it

  • WTF??? Microsoft spent $300M on this ad.  No wonder Vista sucks. Next- edible shorts in every Vista box!

  • heheheh

  • What the fuck does this have to do with Vista?

  • .......what the hell was that all about?

  • what the F

  • What a bullshit. Mac don't need to do stuff like this, isn't it right? Tiger is sience fiction MS, i will not even mention Leo....

  • Stupid, dumb, and just plain weird. Do they really think they can sell that huge astronomical mistake they called Vista?? Give me a break. It's one of the main reasons why I just decided to buy a Mac.

  • you decided to buy a mac just the moment you saw this advert?

    Awesome!

  • lol, well...not JUST bought one, I bought one 4 days ago, and Vista was the main reason why I did not want to spend money on a pc. Who wants to deal with nothing but problems for the next few years, or whatever.

  • It's great because it's an ad with Seinfeld and Gates about absolutely nothing.

  • It's about shoes, Bill's platinum shoe membership, some spanish(?) guys, pc's that can be eaten and... uhhm... okay, maybe you're right...

  • I love my mac.. I was able to buy something for three times the cost that runs half the software and doesn't allow me to buy any 3rd party parts!!! AWESOME, I don't have to think at all, I just let the mac "geniuses" do it for me.

    Apple is 1000x more anti-competitive than MS.

  • Get some facts straight about competitiveness of MS from the past. Apple does not announce vapor products in reaction to a competitor to scare away their competitor's customers and then ship nothing. MS also threatened price increase if a PC vendor would alter the first screen they see when customers turned on their computer. Or pulling the plug on its Play4Sure partners when MS wants to copy iTunes/iPod model with the Zune/Zune Market Place because Play4Sure turned out to be a loser.

  • If you compare part for part in a prebuilt machine from Dell or HP, Macs are not 3x more expensive. In fact, sometimes it's cheaper. There are many ways to run Windows SW and Linux SW in a Mac - even simultaneously when using VM. That should make an average Intel Mac able to run more SW than a standard Windows PC.

  • Cake Sucks. Pie Rocks.

    Go Apple!

  • horrible ad

  • I thought it was funny till he asked the question and got his answer. Why do I want to think about Gate's butt?

  • That was even more epically lame than I expected. Just wow......

  • Can anyone tell me what the meaning behind this commerical is? I just cringe at this because i dont find it funny.

  • I think the point is, and this is just my take, that by making an ad that seems to be advertising for nothing, people are likely to pay more attention to what's going on. This doesn't feel like a regular ad, so it has created buzz, and everyone will pay more attention to future ads with these two in them, which will likely be more clear. Just my take.

  • i think you're on the right track there. to further expand upon your idea with my previous idea: The reason the hired seinfeld for it. Seinfeld was a show about nothing. Therefore this commercial was meant to be a commercial about nothing. it only makes sense.

  • This was programed by the guys that brought you the Red Ring of Death.

  • Makes me even more glad I switched to a Mac.....

  • Like the churro.

  • This commercial needs more sex.

  • This is really good! Rather than trying to cool it up, like Apple commercials--which Microsoft could never match--they've gone for a knowing irony about how not cool they are, and it works. I mean, a Shoe Circus Clown Club? They know they're not cool. That's postmodern coolness.

  • implying that the computer is moist and chewy and delicious appeals to the fat asses that are sitting there watching TV, and are too lazy to skip the commercials, I think a multi-billion dollar company knows what they are doing. On the surface looks pointless, but advertising is scientific and extreamly manipulative on a subconscious level. Do you think they would even bother if it was as pointless as it appears on the surface?

  • How Pathetic and pointless!

    They hired a team to write the story, brought in the richest man in the planet to act, shoot it, edit it, do all post production and found someone to broadcast it, bought airtime!

    Is there not 1 person in the entire microsoft marketing team to say that this Ad is STUPID!

  • he is the second richest, the richest is carlos slim.

  • That is a gay ass commercial!!!

  • what on earth is a churro ?

  • It's a cinammon covered doe thing that tastes damn good.

    Don't they got churro's in mother Russia? xD

  • poor bill, he's trying to sell shit by making "funny" commercials. how pathetic.

  • yeah, he really needs to 'try'...

  • wasn't that bad!

    nothing to do with windows or microsoft during the ad though.

  • It's so stupid it's funny!

  • i want 1 mins and 32 secs of my life back -_-

  • lol, makes no sense at all, i love it!

  • So are we supposed to eat the microsoft products and they're made of cake? This ad isn't funny, doesn't make sense don't know what the heck they're selling.

    But one thing I do know I'm in the mood for a churro.

  • that is terrible.

    what were they thinking?

  • SHOES ARE THE MACS

    Enjoy!

  • this ad is terrible jerry! terrible, this ad is sub par. I'm gunna take this ad back!

  • I´ve watched Seinfeld and love it.

    I still think this ad sucks.

  • I believe only the people who have actually seen "seinfeld" got the commercial and feel its great and delivers what jerry delivered on his show. the rest of the people complaining about it either a) never seen the show or b) are retarded. so before commenting and giving the rest of us, intellectuals, something to laugh at and post jokes about you with do some research and watch the show first.

  • I wonder how much money Seinfeld wanted to sell out and if it was worth it in retrospect.

  • Microsoft is really going downslope. They cannot make neither a decent OS...nor a decent add!

  • How are they really going downslope?Just cause a microsoft AD doesn't satisfy your needs,or the majority of people with these negative feedbacks on this commercial.Microsoft makes over 80 billion or more every year!!!!And bill gets like 67 bill.Wow your seriously pathetic,your argument obviously states that your not very intellegent.Like most of the comments on youtube.

  • that was poor...

  • wtf did i just watch?!

  • can i have my 30 seconds back?

  • microsoft and shoes!!

  • Lmao. I admire Bill Gates' humor and the slight nod he does with Seinfeld after the "Pleather" line was fantastic.

  • I found this entertaining, but it really fails to do anything in terms of promotion of the Microsoft brand. Although, it is trying to (at least as far as I can tell) to make MS seem more friendly and less like the massive tech-conglomerate that it is. The question is why? It's too late for Microsoft to ever been seen in this way.

  • ... Does it really need to be said? THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!

  • gotta love gates' mug shot on his credit card, ha

    some people are taking this commercial WAY WAY too serious. relax its just a random ass, pointless commercial plain and simple. Both these individuals really dont need any more money, they obviously wanted a commercial to do just for fun

  • Nice ... Gates mug shot.

  • LOL

  • I think they made it horrible on purpose so the next ads will seem better? The id photo being bill's gates mugshot from his arrest was a good idea though. Bill Gates is not the smartest man in the world, but certainly a marketing genius and brilliant at manipulating company and government leadership.

  • lame lame lame. some heads should roll

  • yea reall that ad sucks, you would think they would make it alot better.

  • This ad sucked ass!!!!!!!!!

    I expected a little bit more from M$

  • Is this a commercial for Payless Shoes stores ?

  • LOL!!

  • Jerry Seinfeld got like (10millon dollar) for this Reklam

  • Whats Reklam mean?

  • seriously! i cant imagine when apple gets digested by you or bill or jerry - where does it come from at the end? yup! right there! but if it does not come from then what do you do? wiggle your bottox so it can shoot out quicker! heheheheheheeheheh!

  • Jerry and Bill make a very gay couple.

  • They released this coinciding with Google Chrome's release. i installed Google Chrome and its about 3 times faster than Microsoft Internet Explorer.

    this ad was just to confuse and take attention from Google Chrome.

  • Is Chrome better than Firefox?

  • i read somewhere that they benchmarked chrome firefox and explorer and chrome was fastest. Firefox 2nd place. i dont use firefox enough to compare speeds.

  • Thanks. I hate IE and had so many problems with it that I went to Firefox. Is yours the beta edition?

  • Well... yeah, Chorme uses the new V8 while FF and IE rely on older techniques.

  • Im confused o.O

    why do I all the sudden want to buy shoes?

  • chewy and moisty computers? is this a reference to apple computers? and wiggling his bottom is like refering to where that chewy and moisty stuff comes from? if all that is true - then it is one hell of a coll subliminal message ad i have ever seen yet!

  • HAHAHAHAHA that's quite funny what you said

  • you cannot make bill gates look human, i repeat, you cannot make bill gates look human, i repeat,you cannot make bill gates look human, i repeat,you cannot make bill gates look human, i repeat,you cannot make bill gates look human, i repeat,

  • well it's more like a commercial to try to brain wash peeps that billy boy is a "10" and "el conquistador", "runs tight", a "genius" and he is "hip" and "cool", more that an actual advertisement

  • I just say -Why?

    Why does the observational standup comedy genius Jerry Seinfeld so totally blow this commercial. It doesn't make any sense at all. Just some chit chat about nothing. No poinst. No connection with the jokes to microsoft products. No nothing!

    The only thing that was good in it this was the mugshot picture is on his membercard shown for maybe 1.5 seconds.

  • G_G

  • I dont get it! :-/

  • that makes no sense =/

  • I just lost 50% of respect for Microsoft.

  • Why? Are you anti-Semitic?

  • I don't get it. Why the shoes? Why delicious computers? :? I like Windows much better than mac.. but unless this ad campaign does better stuff than this.. kind of a waste of money.

  • and the best thing is the mug shot on gates xD

  • It's not as bad as it sounds, like, when you read about it.

  • lol, only Gates could afford Seinfeld for a tv commercial...

  • I'll take an ad that assumes you're smart enough to understand subtlety over ones that insult your intelligence with half truths and has baby music running in the background.

  • Not to the point like the apple commercials, this commercial sucks

  • Bill Gates is a great man and jerry sienfeld is hilarious!! Awesome computer... cant wait for windows 7

  • It's about Windows 7

  • This ad was stupid. I saw it on TV last night. It didn't make sense.

  • Pretty good ad. I'm surprised.

  • The ad works because people are talking about it. From what I've read critics panned it and everyone is going WTF? about it.

  • windows sucks

  • yet you're typing that on windows..

  • This is pretty funny. Bill Gates is smarter than the rest of you idiots. You try and make a system that turns the stupid shit you think up, into something half way decent on your ppt presentation. If we didn't have people like Bill Gates in this world, we'd still be rubbing sticks together to make a fire.

  • we'd be using sophisticated calculators haha

  • I agree with you! Good point of view.

  • So, the smartest man in the world got together with the funniest man in the world to make the worst commercial in the world.

  • The ad is a about boots...the brand of the boots is RE... They come in blue and white usually...

  • lame.

  • That was delicious.

  • Retard AD.

    Was this about the shoes? Oh come on! :P

  • Microsoft. WTF was that about? Seriously.

    An Ad about... Nothing...

  • what is this shit?

  • realy ... where is KRAMER ?

  • ....needs more Kramer.

  • okay... that was just creepy!

  • seinfeld you sellout...

    this commercial really sucks

  • Its funny if you dont get it your stupid.
