  • God it's the music more than anything.

  • i want to look at the pigeons

  • Comment removed

  • .....i dont wanna computer to be my mate......

  • I prefer PC though

  • Im a big fan of mitchell and web, but these adverts are painful to watch. Can you imagine if coca cola ran a ad campaign like this against pepsi? Would be interesting to see what kind of characters the two brands would be.

  • @Tossphate yeh i suspose so, sorry about that mate

  • Webb does come across as smug on some of these. On the US version the mac guy seems to be far 'cooler'

  • The only people who bought a mac cos of these adverts are the smug arrogant twats that should all be shot. Why would you want to get the smug device over the funny one...

  • I thought the pie chart one had more impact than the American version, because they had PC's rambling about what the sectors represent go on longer.

  • why do they make PC look retarded and crazy?

  • i Love how Apple is trying to make everyone buy a Mac when they are sooooo expensive...

  • I like the PC character, he's funny rather than intentionally smug and irritating. I don't think this campaign works in the UK.

  • haha this is almost the exact same script as the american version.

  • I prefer Macs, but this advert doesn't work...at all.

  • See, the mistake the advertisers have made here is underestimate David Mitchell's unusual nerdy charm. PC PLEASE!

  • I find all these comment hilarious, angry pc fans who can't accept opinions, lol, always funny to laugh at the trolls. And to be honest, at of all of you, with a few exceptions, I can make the most correct opinion, as I have both a top of the range mac And a top of the range pc, and macs are better for doing everyday things like email, youtube, things like that, were pcs are better for gaming. Keep the comment coming trolls, make me laugh!

  • @DazNoobs ...and with that you sound exactly like the smug twattish mac character!

  • @Tossphate Well, to me it sounds like you are saying this very angrily, just like a pc nerd does. They know macs are good, but try to hide that under their repetitive cussing, while mac fanboys merely state the facts, and mac AND pc fanboys (me being one, as I have both) have the fairest opinion as I actually own both.

  • @DazNoobs You should probably mention more that you own both machines, cos that fact might be missed by a few people.

  • I still have no idea how to use a Mac!

  • I love Macs, but even I admit that these adverts just don't work in the UK

  • I got a mac and a pc and tobe honest the mac is better and doesnt crash as oftern as my pc, my mac is more reliable BUT my pc is familiar its easier to knock up a letter the start up menu is easy where fishing round my hard drive in folders t find the program I want is a royal pain in the ass on a mac

  • i cringe every time there's one of those 'in the cloud' 'cool' adverts for pcs.

  • macs freeze up

    

  • i just got my laptop (pc) and i didn't have to do anything like this 2:05

  • @UdderlessNinja If I'm honest with you bro, you almost definitely have. I haven't seen a new computer in ages that hasn't come with some trial software unless it was custom built.

  • O-kward 0:32 :D

  • This was a bad call on Mac's part.

    I'd specifically go out and buy a PC now, just cause it was represented by David <3

  • I like how these are exactly the same as the American commercials, except with accents and a less cute mac guy.... (:

  • These are FUNNY!

  • All of you who post "Oh Mac's are better" or "Holy shit, no, PC's are better" I just have one thing to say. Shut up. Please. They're essentially the same thing. And some of us only watch these videos because we find them funny...

  • "On a trip from Cupertino"

    Mac: Oh, hey PC! What you doing?

    PC: Umm, just playing games...

    Mac: Wow cool! Which ones?

    PC: Oh, you know - all of them.

  • david mitchell

  • @joenpierre24 Im a Mac and I like Breaking Benjamin and Im a guy.

    Do your research before you start stereotyping

    :p

  • "I am a ricecake" Ahahahahaha.

  • haha, what a failure in British advertising. In the American version it's clear you are supposed to like the MAC, but david mitchell is so precious, in this one I want a PC!

  • @Skeew1 Not a failure, just a different approach, it was purposely confusing. it was a self proclaimed"confuse campaign".

  • @Skeew1 Mitchell and Webb actually talked about this in an interview, how the American marketers at Apple didn't really understand that British people would be more likely to sympathise with the lovable loser (especially one on TV) than the smug bastard.

  • "You Really Should Buy A MAC" , well how about NO ?

  • PC's are better.

  • Fuck the Mac vs PC debate. Mitchell and Webb are amazing!

  • Hi I'm a Mac and my builder commited suicide on his 15th birthday by jumping off the rooof of Foxcom.

  • Uk Mac is a bit more angry an agressive than the US one o.O

  • @ElecV

    Webb is aggressive? o.O

  • Omegadud

  • I'm a Mac. I cost three times and much and give you half the performance.

  • I'm a Mac. I cost 2-3 times as much as a similar specification PC.

  • @alanpgoodwin I'm a Pc I freeze

  • @thefroggiebox I'm a Mac. You're lucky if I turn on at all. ;)

  • All I know is I want a Japanese printer.

  • The American ones are better. But both are good.

  • I'll be honest, these ads still make the PC look better. Spreadsheets are fun.

  • @AndyDude312 you sad sad man 

  • not funny at all, not even cute

  • @d0101d Well you're just a massive grumpy bum aren'tcha? :3

  • @GiraffeOmelette Not really i just hate advertising, especially if it's lame. And especially as i just watched peep show, which is funny. It is hard living in this world and having taste, however.

  • the only reason mac has less viruses and spyware is because there are less macs anyway, any organisation worth hacking uses pc's :)

  • Mac is a twat.

  • Surely a mac IS a personal computer.

  • "can't wait to clock in for supper" "you're coming for supper" lol

  • That Japanese printer is all I need.

  • The only thing this has made me want to do is make a pie chart of my next family holiday XD.

  • I own a dirty Mac. Does that count? I'm a part time flasher.

  • FTFY - "Im a PC and I do stuff like all that MAc said, AND I play GAMES!"

  • Who stil makes home movies. lol stfu.

  • It's amazing how they try to portray the Mac as the fun one when all the games are for PC.

  • Funny how you can do all the stuff that they say in the Mac adverts on a PC. And saying that a Mac is better coz it doesn't get PC viruses is like saying that an iguana is better than a dog because a dog gets fleas and an iguana doesn't. Both have pros and cons, get over it.

  • So mac's are basically for creating cute photo albums and doing "amazing stuff" like watching movies online? Not nerd'ish enough for me.

  • the problem with this is everyone in the uk prefers David Mitchell

  • Gaming= PC

    Media Making= Mac emulator on PC

  • Reasons to get a PC 1.Most software is designed for PC 2.PCs are easier to use 3.Macs are much more expensive 4.Mac accesories cost a fortune due to limited suppliers 5.Macs can't play most games 6.Windows 7 hardly ever freezes 7.PCs are easier to get fixed because they're the standard 8.If macs became popular their viruses would increase 9.PC can easily make photo albums and edit videos However if you still want a MAC atleast try Linux Ubuntu first...it's free
  • You know, while I have a Mac, I only have it because I like how it looks. That was the only deal clincher for me.

    I just came here for Mitchell and Webb. D;

  • Mac/PC, who cares? All I know is I'm getting a Japanese printer.

  • PCs are office computers? I disagree HIGHLY you can do far more things on the PC than on a Mac, I'm doing a networking course and you have no idea how hard it is to make Macs connect to things, unless it's peer to peer it'll never work. The only bit i can agree with is the box one, that's a bout it. the quote" everything just sort of works with a mac" is a total lie, just look at games. The PC will and can do everything, that "naughty step" can be over written. also macs still need the drivers!

  • its funny that pc's have never done any kind of adverts like this because us pc's don't need to show of(gaming :D )

  • @omegadud101 Mac has gaming....

  • @omegadud101 PCs have never done any adverts like this because their advertising strategies are fucking awful.

  • david mitchell (pc) reminds me of my awesome and really funny maths teacher!

  • I think the UK adverts are better than the American ones =P

  • Can't we just get along and hate Linux together? Macs and PCs both have pros and cons.

  • @alexistheman102657 Linux is better than both of them its open source and quicker

    

  • @alexistheman102657 Umm. . .mac runs off of UNIX, just like linux. linux runs windows programs. runs faster. is open source. is free. is intuitive. is innovate. mac struggles to keep up with many of the features coming out in Linux GUIs like Gnome3 and Unity, etc. we had workspaces a long time ago. we had teh show all windows longer. we have the desktop cube. we have something a lot like teh ?command center? they just came out with. etc. bye.

  • @MrBurritoGuy Thanks...

  • the only reason id buy a mac is because of mitchell and webb

  • so PC's adorably lovable and mac's a bit of a smug twat...yeah, seems about right

  • @luckyold317 That might have been the best comment ever made on youtube.

  • I actually don't like Macs. Mitchell & Webb actually near take the piss. Webb is just saying Macs are fun for the sort of shit you only do if you're a professional. Mitchell is showing all the stuff you can do if you're a professional in another area, and he hasn't even started on Microsoft's good points.

  • Hello I'm a Linux distribution. I'm free and don't need anti-virus software. I can do all the same desktop effects as mac , and way more. Linux has Gesture Recognizer , spaces, and expose.

  • Funny how I haven't restarted my pc in 3 weeks... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no crashes either, no lock ups, made a few vids.. made music, made a website too, plaid games!!, watched videos without problems, used a tones of free services.. haven't had a virus in hmm 2 years... wow.. my pc just does everything a mac does and more, and cost me 3 times less

  • And this is why america is best at these kind of things lol.

  • PC > Mac

  • MAC fan since birth! mac and school! MAC and university! MAC and memories! MAC 4 LIFE! LONG LIVE MAC!

  • the naughty step is always serious.

  • I always have to restart my mac, more times than my PC. And also, why do they compare Apple Macbooks to desktop PCs?

  • if david mitchell is a PC, i'm glad i'm not an apple fanboy

  • While I was watching this, my pc froze and then crashed. Nicely made point, pc. I'm going home to enjoy my Mac.

  • but a mac doesn't work and windows can do everything a mac does but better and with more choice.

  • @GameMusicCompilation which is why u buy a mac, and install windows on it. thats what i did, and its fantastic.

  • its like im watching the peep show robert web just pissing on the fat one

  • Both: "We both crash"

    Windows: "But I can access task manager and terminate the offending process"

    Mac: *still spinning with the spinny rainbow and locked up*

  • David must of been paid a lot to do this, he hates mac shit.

  • @arr5612 Are you sure? There is no way they would hire him... I love Mitchell and Webb and I saw them do this and I was just like but you're so intelligent when it comes to Homepathy etc... But these adds are hilarious...

  • all of these are from "that mitchell and webb look"

  • @TaraKaboom No they're not.

  • Apple commercials have an always will be completely full of shit, but....I love the UK versions of the commercials......AMMMAZZZIIINN­NGGG!!! :D

  • I used to have a PC and I thought it was good.

    I then got a mac and was amazed at how much better it was.

    My freind then got a PC for the same price i got my mac...

    It had a 18 GB RAM and a Quad-Core 12GHz Processor.

    Life isn't fair...

  • @mastermo666 "12GHz" -_-* I suppose liquid nitrogen cooled super processors from the future are available retail now.... Idiot. 3Ghz is what you're talking about.

  • @KaslarProductions 3 gig quad cores are commonly referred to as 12 gig processors. Alot of people combine the processors and use that number as the overall speed capability, instead of stating the speed of a single core.

    Just another way of saying something, that you would say differently.

    Take the stick out your ass :)

  • @BruceNJeffAreMyFlies Well when you actually state the words "Quad core" like he did in his description of the CPU, stating 12 GHz becomes a lie if you use your (twisted) logic of labeling these things. If he said 12GHz cpu your retort would be valid, but he stated "12GHz quad core" implying the cores were 12 each. And why not say 3GHz quad core? I guess sheeple don't find 3,330,000 tics per second very impressive anymore and need to imagine up silly little (incorrect) label for things.

  • @KaslarProductions Twisted logic? Stop trying to be a badman.

    I never used any twisted logic, like I said, people just refer to things like that some times. Maybe it isn't literally exactly what he means, but you clearly know what he was talking about, like most other people.

    Once more, take the stick out of your ass.

  • @mastermo666 He didn't need that amount of RAM, after like 7GB of RAM there's no point in getting more since your PC wont need it, it also depends on the speed of the RAM also.

  • @TheLycanjake1

    Its for his office. Him and 4 other people multitask using the same computer.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheLycanjake1 But 12GHz? never heard of a processor that fast

  • I'm a PC and I do the fun stuff like the gargantuan back-catalogue of abandon-ware games AND have FREE office and multi-media programmes as well as professional software packages AND my tablet computers run flash ...so you ...can enjoy porn. 8D Get a clue, Get a PC.

  • the peep show

  • pc suks. mine lasts lik 5 months, macs rule! dont hate macs cuz u cant afford them. if ur rich and hate macs ur probably boring.

  • @Sumwon951 Wow pretentious much?

  • @Sumwon951 you clearly know nothing about PC Hardware, the main difference between them is the software, also Mac's can't use many Graphics cards, also if you had the right components for both, you could fit two HDD's and have both a PC and a Mac.

  • @TheLycanjake1 A) you don't need two HDD's just a partition and B) you can't without breaking apples EULA which means no support and no drivers for you.

  • @daymyth A partition yeah sure you can, but they will both be on one Hard drive, the main good thing about Mac is that they don't get many viruses, if your Windows Partition gets infected with a nasty virus, it can affect the whole Hard drive, so it's kind of pointless

  • @TheLycanjake1 I don't think so, unless it effects the physical integrity of the drive and is viable in function across both OS' or is something that effects the bios or boot up. For all those scenarios even if you had your additional OS on a seperate HDD it wouldn't matter.

  • @Sumwon951 You suck. My pc has lasted over a year without freezing once, and has obtained one spyware issue that I have actually noticed.

    You need to lurn how to taek care of yoar stuff.

    Anyway, I enjoy morrowind, fallout 3 and new vegas, the sims, need for speed and countless other games just too much to give them all up for some editing software and a snazzy layout.

  • for some reason i feel like theyre spitting all over the place in that studio

  • Anyone notice the vibrating sound - checked my phone all the time ^^

  • i hate that smarmy Mac bastard

  • Hello I'm a Mac and I'm only for dicking about. Unless you want to play all the modern games when your just fucked... oh dear. But I do have an extremely cut down version of steam... wait....

  • Why don't they mention gaming? Hello I'm a Mac and if you would a wide selection of games then you'll have to run MS Windows.

  • Bastard left him for i-tea!!!

  • I lost it when he said "Shenanigans and Hijinks" XD

  • Most of the commercials have the exact same word as the us version

  • I still, no matter how much evidence people can ever give me, Macs are shit, PCs are best.

  • If microsoft were shipping all apps like isight with windows, how long would it take for someone to attack that in court? Apple is just lucky they have negligible market share in computers. And even though I think David Mitchell is the best Britain has in comedy today, John Hodgman was better in these.

  • How many thought that PowerPoint was like Nevil Longbottom!

  • Dammit, I wish my printer was as hot..

  • "Hello, I'm a Mac. And I'm a PC"

    this statement contradicts itself, Macintosh computer are PC'S!!!! Apple started the whole Mac's aren't PC's to make their computers more special. I am on a macbook pro right now and love it but I hate how people say Mac and PC like they are 2 completely separate things when they are one in the same.

  • I have to say, the Uk commercials are more funny than the US versions.

  • i like they dont mention gaming once!

  • @TheBoomerpirate u can install windows to mac and play everygame u want, Touche

  • @juippis90 except that your overpriced hardware means that you can't because it's to slow... Apple, overpriced hardware that's all they are. I wouldn't mind actually having a dual boot OS on my comp because there is 1 program that's only on Mac that's really good (Papers) that I want to use. But Apples shit EULA will only allow them to install it on their machines.

  • @TheBoomerpirate steam is on mac now..it has been for like over a year

  • @TheBoomerpirate because macs aren't trying to make computer for gamers they are trying to make computers for everyday people and creative video makers.

  • @theupperdec DreamWorks Animation use HP / PC's for making movies. Apple is NOT "make computers for everyday people" ... what Apple is doing are make a computer for elitist , because most "everyday people" don't have a 1000 dollars to waist on a computer.

  • I love David Mitchell!

  • Lol Tentacle vid is my fav.

  • Robert Webb has done well to very accurately portray the smugness of Mac users.........

  • Back when apple adverts were decent,

    Now they're are just patronising crap that seem to say; "Your lives aren't as good because you don't have the latest iWank"

  • PC means Personal Computer... a Mac is a Personal Computer...

  • funny but mostly bull

  • These adverts make me like my pc more.

  • @DriftBassMusic maybe european electronics are different :) my ps3 never had YLoD, my friends xbox by the way....

  • @ryanbogaerd How odd, because my brothers ps3 got the ylod. Both of my xbox's however... More than 3 years old each, and both still working fine.

    Homo. There are more things happening in the world than just whats going on at your house...

  • @DriftBassMusic really? then there is something wrong.. i have to pc's : a dell dimension 4600 and a sony vaio. and i have a mac. and my friend also does. now both pc's crashed. i didn't download ANYTHING i was only browsing on the web and.. foop! the sony died. the same problem also was on my dell. i lost over a 1000 euro's to fix them. and the two macs are still running fine today... so explain that :)

  • @ryanbogaerd I can explain that easy, you had a crappy vaio, and you also had a dell.

    they are both, but a million times more the dell, shitty pieces of poorly made technology. They are designed to go real good and then suddenly die, so you buy another one.

  • @BruceNJeffAreMyFlies i also have a hp... bought it in 2009... and guess what happend to that :)

  • 4.20 "I'm a rice cake" Hehe! David Mitchell was kinda fat here.

  • PC: Wheel me over to the window, i like to watch the pigeons,

    Mac: What windows? What pigeons?

    ROFL

  • @StickyFingersStudios LOL OMG YOU QUOTED A LINE FROM THE CLIP! YOU WIN INTERNETS!!

  • ITS A METAPHOR!

  • @PeteAnimation why did windows have a floating window?

  • pc good.

  • ''OKWUD''

  • the sales numbers don't say macs are popular anywhere accept in the U.S.  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the international community jokes that Americans are too stupid to run a pc.

  • @IzInAZ You're wrong. I'm an American living in Tokyo, Japan and all we use are Macs.

  • @IzInAZ apple have the market share and their profits are more than microsoft so far by about $9 billion

  • It seems Apple is very popular in Europe these days. Good thing I have one.

  • you blout its Mac not MAC

  • pc hands mac file* um wtf pc this shit wont open. yeah its an exe. why is everything in an exe. because mac just because. lol i like both though. but i game so im getting rid of my mac for a pc

  • I felt like I was there ;)

  • I LOLed at "Macs don't get viruses", "Macs don't crash", "Macs don't freeze", "people have more fun on Macs"...I mean, seriously, do you people really believe that?  I don't...the reason is because I'm a Mac...and I know better.

  • PC:"Okay, lets play games. Oh wait, you can't!"

    Mac:"Nonono, lets play games. Just let me start Windows in bootcamp."

    PC:"Wait......what?"

  • @ryanbogaerd PC:"Woah mac you're playing pretty good"

    Mac:"*bootcamp crashes*"

  • @pivot1022 Mac:"Alright i got bootcamp running again pc. Pc? Hello?"

    PC:"*Shows blue screen of death*"

    Mac:"Here we go again."
