'1984' Apple Macintosh Commercial

[madonna2285]

R.I.P steve jobs

[AndrewMC6]

This commercial seems more fitting for Linux then it does Mac. Open Source FTW!

[BarFAN21]

@AndrewMC6 nigga u a gangsta nerd, swag swag

[rockifythis]

@AndrewMC6 well, both Mac and Linux were based on Unix...

[GodHatesPortugal]

The funny thing is that Jobs is one of the many that are working towards a real 1984...

[Panthersfan2]

''Hey...we were watching that''-Futurama

[BadSanta84]

the guy on the screen reminds me a bit of steve jobs...

[aspexpl]

...and today, Steve Jobs makes money with this good'ol Rupert Murdoch !

[Gooseage]

bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy.... o yeah, and computers n stuff

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

[mkworkman]

60-second YouTube video. January 22, 1984: The Apple Macintosh, the first consumer computer to popularize the computer mouse and the graphical user interface, is introduced during Super Bowl XVIII with its famous "1984" television commercial.

[WillyPhister]

she's dressed like a hooters girl.

[MrWaeseL]

Shallow and pretentious, just like Apple's products

[feny8]

@MrWaeseL perhaps, but they sure sell and they do feel good

[JackJackninja]

Irony

[maxferrari100]

lo spot migliore!

[macintaos]

1984 = Van Halen

It's too bad that Apple has recently gone back to 1983 !!!

[tkinbk]

looks like ipad fanboys marching

[azaznator]

Ironic how this advertisement condemns everyone using Microsoft products, yet today the reverse is true, that the Apple fanaticism is sweeping the nation with people blindly adhering to the social trend and purchasing Apple products that are merely supersized versions of previous products.

Ah well.

[BlueFox284]

Heh, one of the coolest ads to never have shown the actual product. . .

[TheAtlon09]

Woooww

[TheEloeo]

1984 was awesome year,especially in science fiction.

[liveforlife2494]

Perfection. I remember my freshman English teacher showing this to us when we were reading the book. Awesome!

[rgmatos2]

God save IBM.

[MioSmash]

LOL I finally understand that one reference in Futurerama.

[Irrational]

YEAH.

Me too. ;D

[Jovan14606]

0:19-21 - "Tow the nutritious top.Molest the lucky fact" HAHAHAH Best part!

[philadude45]

[kornkidi]

Big face on Screen, that remains me of Steve Jobs keynotes, you know Big Face on Screen

[ShadowNINku]

the funny thing: we are all iSHEEP now, much like those bald guys

[BlueVane]

Haha, great point!

[korylandon]

this doesnt make any sense

[gerolsteiner91]

go and read george orwell's "1984". everyone should.

[WWEinvadesTNA8]

why

[omfg4000]

@gerolsteiner91 Anyone see any resemblence between 1984 and the endless strife between Macintosh and Microsoft with no real options beyond those?

[Valadar917]

@omfg4000 It's perpetual war, just like in the novel. Also, both of them are pretty large organizations and have sheep-like followers. Not a bad analogy at all.

[BlueVane]

It does if you've read the classic literature that is George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.

[uhegbu]

Classic Apple commercial even though I was a child at the time.

[t0ki0h0telr0x]

OMG TH DE JA VU!!!!!!

lol

[singawayurheart]

omg TH vid flash back

[Cinlouxx]

Yes it does.

[Cuppycake776]

[superyoshia]

ready set go was based off the book 1984

[LoveQuebec22]

[rich8606]

....

I take it you never read George Orwell's 1984, or watched the movie adaptation.

[SweetHomeCalifornia]

1984! <3

[retroreaction]

the woman looks like she works at hooters

[jumpmansbro]

Awesome in its purest state.

[PunkWhatNow]

........meh.

[gomollon086]

At 0:20 when the woman comes running with a hammer to break the screen, there is a parody of it on the Simpsons.

You can watch it at: (By the way it is part 0:57)

[toothpasteninja]

Futurama too.

[Perelly]

The commercial is cool. But it astonishes me that today's Apple apologists sound exactly as brainwashed as the guys in grey do in this spot.

[xxshanice]

...Wow :O

[fredslev]

Even though its 24 (25 in a few weeks) years old. This commercial could (well thats what i think hehe) still sell Mac's :-)

Note: I got my first Mac in 1991... 128kb "wonder" :-)

Oh and the book "1984" its awesome :-)

[liveforlife2494]

When I was studying "1984" in English last year, my teacher put this on. Seriously the creepiest commercial I've ever seen. But there's also genius.
