  • Interview of Mitchell and Webb: Part about PC & Mac ads.

    Interviewer: "And then there was all that furore over the Apple Mac campaign in which David plays a hopeless PC and Webb trumps him as a cool Mac - and for which they were accused of selling out in "an act of grave betrayal" and described as "worse than not funny"."

    DM: "You're joking, right? It was a no brainer - a lot of money for not much work. We nearly took their arm off."

    ------

    best part of M&W is ,they don't give a damn! :D

    

  • This complete sheit is wrong in so many ways....I bet you mitchell and webb has been tagged with a great big fat APPLE logo on their hairy arsses. still like their show

  • I love how they try an monopolize on the fact that theres no viruses for macs, Theres (hardly any) viruses for macs because not enough people use them to make it worthwhile writing viruses for them. If everyone started using macs over pcs, Then people would start writing viruses for macs instead.

  • 35 people have PCs

  • @Monkeymosh

    And more than 50000 are using PC/Linux ;)

  • the mac will never win LONG LIVE THE PC!!!!

  • Sellouts

  • i think this ad is more for pc's...... just because 90% of people like david mitchell over webb

  • I think I'm gonna go out and buy a PC now.

  • I don't want to make photo album thats NOT fun , I want to play GAMES

  • Funny, I derive a huge amount of enjoyment from my trusty PC, and when I was at school I had to work with MACs which were terribly unstable and so hard to do anything with...

    Oh yeah and games. No MAC can come close to rivaling the performance I get out of this quad-core 1GB video card beast I've got here.

    Also regarding stability, surely if you have a PC that's properly factory-built and you don't install s*** on it, you'd have a smoother time than on any MAC anyway.

  • haha a british version. wonderful.

  • lol pc's are funny mac's arent

  • i love how he says are he does fun stuff and the PC says he does pie charts?

    Ummm, what about games?

  • You've only got one mouse button.

  • 1 word: Games.

  • I really like Mac! They are great in the recording studio... But I have built a PC with basically the same hardware for £1000 less than the Mac I was looking at. Intel quad core, terabyte hard drive the works! It runs great!! :) Just wish Mac hadn't baught logic out and made it only available on Mac. :( Ahh well Nuendo 4 works great!! :) And I made an overall saving of about £870 :D

  • @ChrisJS1987 Macs and PCs are about the same when running a ProTools HD rig. PCs are better value for money so I wonder why most studios use Macs

    Maybe its because the keyboard shortcuts are slightly different and they want to keep consistancy

    Or because PT used to be Mac only so early computer based studios had to buy Macs. This meant that the engineers needed to become proficient using them. Studios that converted later bought Macs to cater for these users. Hence, they're now established

  • I have a PC and I use it for fun stuff like...GAMES

  • Mac: what you doing pc?

    PC: just connecting to a windows phone 7 and xbox 360

    Mac: Well i have apple tv

    PC: now now mac you and i know that apple tv is a crappy waste of money

    Mac: I know I know!!!!! *sobing*

  • I'm inventing PAC = PC + MAC

    they are going down.

  • @currytub pac man

  • I'm watching this on a PC

  • David Mitchell is just fantastic!

  • Comment removed

  • dude these comericals just makes the mac look unfriendly and lazy

  • This is the Peep Show... on promo's. Lol.

  • thing is im on a mac now and i really enjoy it i prefer it to PCs. But the amount of times i have to restart it due to updates i think is more than that of a pc. Though obviously it depends how many programs you've installed.

  • My Mac hangs all the time.

    The git.

  • You can't get a virus for a Mac because you can't break an operating system which is already broken.

  • @ReissDJO You can do all of those on non macs. Called dual boot(and I do not mean hackintosh) there are ways to get OS X on non macs without hacking it.

  • "There's nothing else here, just a couple of us Macs having fun." lol Go Mac  !

  • hm... first time I ever worked with a mac it crashed after five minutes...

  • @Sileas82 yeah right.

  • Who gives a shit. I love David Mitchell and Robert Webb. I'll buy anything they tell me to lol

  • I like Linux over Windows. I'm not so sure about Macs, because I've never used one for any period of time.

  • @ubuntututorials

    yh linux (ubuntu) is actually quite good! i use pc as well though...

  • who gives a fuck about whether a pc or mac is better... grow up people theres alot more important shit goin on in the world

  • if people say they prefer a pc they clearly haven't owned a mac.

    so annoying with people who try it for the first time because they aren't used to it, but in longer terms it's so much better.

    this is my first mac and I love it <3

    if macs and pcs were in the same price-range I can't see why anyone would buy a pc.

  • @Guroftw agreed. A friend of mine (a p.c. who had never owned a Mac) says "What can you do on a Mac that you can't do on a p.c." There's a lot actually. I don't have enough space to list them all, but I'll give a few examples: -iMovie -iPhoto -Garageband -Terminal -Xcode -Photobooth -Dashboard -Dashcode -Finder -iLife (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers), -iTunes(though there is a p.c. version), and the list goes on...

  • @xoxILoveCatsxox

    These are all pretty, useless things..

    Shut up and do your spreadsheet.

  • @BelfastAtheist They aren't useless, I use a lot of them almost every day.

  • The funny thing is, in Peep show, Mark (PC) is much nicer than Jeremy (Mac) - so they're saying that PCs are geeky and awkward but still sweet and lovable, but Macs are shallow, vain, lazy and empty-headed!

  • @SnorkackSearcher26

    My friend... Microsoft & Apple have been working together for a loooooong time now :)

    Jokes for PC, hype for Mac, office & Windows runs on both... Partners behind the scenes. In fact, all corporations are working *together* to take *your* money ;) WAKE UP SHEEPLE, haha!

  • I hate these adverts. Shows you how stuck up the arse Apple is.

  • pcs suk, iv had this mac for 3 years, not 1 problem, only people that hate mac are people that cant afford it and the only pleasure they get apart from taking there fucked up pc to the mall to get it fixed, is insulting, mac is epic compared to fucking pc

  • just soo much better and imovie rules xD

  • @charliekid5 you're so right!

  • Oh and yes as someone more intelligent noticed earlier Mac's are pc - personal computers ;) Made supposedly by one company and for specific Os - in truth thats a distant past now ( components made by sub vendors in china Korea etc the same ones who make typical pc parts ;) but Apple has great ad specialists ;) who are still able to sell you almost exactly the same thing as Acer but for 3 times as much plus nifty Mac logo ;)

  • I prefer Windows computers personally ;p i don't like to spend more than i have to for something that will be obsolete in a year ;) Its a tool not an ornament ;) But whatever fit your needs and feelings best ;) (Right now i still use tweaked Win Xp64Pro os on Core 2 Duo 4 Gb of ram 320Gb HD gf9600 laptop , vista was TOTAL crap and i don't like the way Win 7 went (much more toward Vista than Xp ;/ will the Microsoft never learn ??), i feel linux coming in the future ;p ;)

  • There's nothing strange in the fact that there's more viruses for Windows Microsoft has over 90% of market What would be the reason to write Mac Os virus ? I want to steal someones new graphic logo and delete his family photo album ?? On the other hand its true Mac computers are better designed and build - they cost much more than those for Windows and there's less companies producing components (especial cheap ones) for them, it makes them more stable but harder and more costly to upgrade.

  • I prefer Mac. I put windows onto my macbook and it made my computer shut down completely. Had to get it repaired. Never had a single virus on mac. Had about 100 on PC. Plus you have to pay for a virus checker for PC. My dad was obsessed with his first mac - so badly he's actually, in his life, bought a mini mac and 2 macbooks. I don't get how loads of people love PC or mac so much. I just prefered mac. I didn't actually like ANYTHING about PC other than for sims 2 games.

  • Comment removed

  • BUT ROOT kits are infecting can infect bios

  • fair enough - but still. I don't think I need a virus checker on my macbook, but you always need one for PC. And they cost A LOT.

  • My friend got hacked and had someone use his credit card and cell phone info via Facebook. He uses a macbook. The future of identity theft lies online not in your computers operating system. Also if MACs ever outsell Windows machines you will need an antivirus. Oh and a MAC is a PC(personal computer).

  • @GracieFowerOfficial there is free soft for virus check, and i have anti vir , generators for free

  • ever heard of AVG and not watching porn all day?

  • *to self* well that was rude and unnessacery... *stop to self* heeeeey. yur meaaaan. you made me say a loooong word.

  • Actually, you can use both AVG and Avast for free.

  • @GracieFowerOfficial

    well tbh its called common sense if you dont want viruses. get anti-virus programmes, or dont go on dodgy sites. theres loads of things that can help (i use firefox and downloaded extensions that warn me and so on)

    anyway if you have a mac you shouldnt get windows. they do tend to be for pcs after all :)

  • The Mac rep is too tense. It doesn't sound natural.

  • Did you notice something? most of those were just "PCs suck, buy a mac", its pretty much the same thing here.

  • Advertising? Ad-ver .... tising?

    What is this word that no one knows?

  • the problem is that its not really advertising mac, its more advertising PC sucks

  • then thats fail.. cuz they don't lol. i threw mine across the room for shits and giggles. it still works great. i can run this video at the same time in 20 windows.

  • my Computer gives me a blue screen like 5 times when I turn it on but besides that its fine. it can be annoying but it isnt like it takes me all day. I hate how the mac mouse has only one button meaning you have to figure out how to bring the menu down. They also had this one really stupid commercial where PC was looking through all these files scattered and mac has this INGENIUS way to put them into little groups. TOTALLY not like the folders on the PC, COMPLETELY unreleated!

  • Yeah. Pretty cool but - sorry I think the german versions are the better one. The german mac looks better! But this also is cool!

  • MACS ARE AWESOME!

  • hum, yeh mac are so much more expensive FUCK OFF MaC fundamentalists. I can't believe M&W would sink so low

  • do any of these ads actually make it to tv?

  • im sorry but this says nothing, can anyone tell me any reason why macs are better

  • Because PC's suck, and Macs don't.

  • why do pcs suck? macs suck because they can't play games, they have a one click mouse, they cost double what pcs do and they all have the same design glossy white cube thingys pcs come in a million different varieties

  • You are wrong on every point. Macs do play games, i play CoD 4 every once and a while on my Mac on its highest settings. The apple mighty mouse actually has two button functionality, i don't know how it works exactly but i guess its pressure sensitive so u can still right click or left click u just have to program, it works great by the way. And Macs have found there niche, people who like to be environmentally friendly buy Macs, people who just want simple computers buy Macs, and vista haterz

  • most games are not available on macs, (if you want alist i'll giv it to you) it's still not worth double the cost and they are all the ame design

  • I would like the list please and I'll tell you which of them don't work on BOOT CAMP. There are different versions of Macs(Mac mini, iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook, and MacBook Pro series.) and if ur referring to the monitor than buy a mac that can use a separate monitor, only the iMacs are all in one computers. For me it was worth double the price because right out of the box it was ready for the internet, ready to play games, and ready to start typing documents on. Isn't that what computers do?

  • half-life, half-life 2, half-life 2: episode 1, half-life 2:episode 2, team fortress classic, team fortress 2, portal, left 4 dead, cll of duty 4 (at first release), fallout 3,

  • Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp, Boot Camp and many more to your many more

  • what does bootcamp mean?

  • boot camp allows u to run windows on a Mac and with that u can run any PC game, and boot camp comes with every Mac so really the only thing u would need is the latest version of windows to install and ur good to play any windows based game, u can even duel boot both windows and Snow leopard at the same time, but for that u need separate software.

  • and why don't you just buy a pc then some people can't be bothered switching

  • because i like not getting viruses, and having an energy efficient computer made of highly recyclable material, and yet i can still have windows on my computer, which i DONT by the way

  • how energy efficient your computer is is determined by hardware, not OS, as is how recyclable it is. my computer uses a 1500 wat Power supply, hope it makes you feel sick :)

  • and when did i ever say that the os was the reason why it was energy efficient and recyclable......oh thats right i never did, but since u brought it up Mac OS X does help conserve energy. Don't believe me, with a couple clicks of ur mouse will fill u in on the rest. and the only thing ur 1500 wat power supply tells me is that ur a FUCKING DUECHE BAG, but besides that im over it, fuck you

  • nou

  • Classic D-bag answer

  • You didn't, you just said you "computer."

  • Yes it's a computer, Macs aren't classified as "PCs" but they're still computers

  • Won't putting windows on your mac make it more prone to viruses? that's what I was told when I bought mine and asked about bootcamp. They recommended not to do it.

  • ??? Well ya u need antivirus if u use windows

  • Good old Apple! Such a green company. Oh wait, that's right, Greenpeace says iPhones kill tons of children due the fact that they chose aesthetics over disposability on the battery compartment and their PC motherboards are toxic.

    Good job, douchebags. You have the public assuming you're a green company because you appeal to hippies and hipsters, when in fact you're a worse polluter than most of the big PC vendors.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! You like to step in that time machine and go back into the past don't you? That hasn't been a fact for 3 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!! GET THE FUCK OVER IT!!!!!! Although I don't agree with some of Apple decisions their core focus is on performance and greener computers, and that's something other manufacturers don't care about enough. All the other companies just want to create the next most energy guzzling PC. So fuck off with that bullshit, huh?

  • Yup, 3 years ago allright. That's why the ipod and iphone still don't have a removable battery. Oh wait that was 3 minutes ago, not 3 years ago.

    Don't tout apple like they're some kind of 'highly recyclable materials' leader when in fact their advances in this area are still below average. They haven't done nearly enough in those 3 years you talk about. Their computers are still built out of PVC in chinese sweatshop labor camps and there's nothing admirable about that.

  • What did I just finish telling you? Ok, first of all,Greanpeace is NOWHERE near perfect either. Every company and organization likes to show there good side to the public.

    Second, Apple leads the industry in energy conservation, shit they literally created the Energy Star program.

    Third, if you look at the facts, Apple has the lowest amount of harmful emissions from any company, from factory to consumer. You think that Apple is the only company using factories in China? Seriously!

  • The EPA literally created the Energy Star program, Apple was an early adopter. Check your facts.

    Of course they're not the only company. It's just hypocritical to show a public image of how

  • socially conscious you are when you choose aesthetics over environmentalism and have 13 year old Taiwanese kids building your PC's. Apple has sure worked you over and has you drinking all the kool-aid. You're one of the more ignorand and adamant mac zealots I've seen. Replace 'Apple' with 'Jesus' and you could easily pass for a fundy.

  • and also if u dont get what boot camp really is then u really cant say anything about it, go watch a video or something

  • look your wrong just fuck off i'm getting bored of this

  • hahahahahahahaha just like pcp to say, wata little fuck

  • Yeah because no PC's are ready for the internet, gaming or typing out of the box.

  • I'm 13 and I'm a PC gamer

  • I prefer david mitchell

  • That's not all of them...

  • i sorta like the american ones better no offense to england but i think the american ones are funnier.

  • i kinda like the american ones better cause they are funnier. but the english are also good too.

  • just out of curiosity, were the guys who do the american ones famous before they done it? Mitchell an Webb were for Britain anyway, that's probably why we find them so funny :D

  • Yes. Justin Long, the Mac one has been in many movies like Dodgeball and Live Free or Die Hard. The other one, whose name is escaping me, is on a comedy central show, I think its either The Daily Show or The Colbert Report.

  • LOL PAUSE AT 1:31

  • HIS FACE!@!!!@!@#!@#!@#

  • im getting a mac. :)

  • i don't know if mac users know this so i'm just gonna throw this out there...

    if you install windows 2000 xp vista or 7 inside mac os x

    then you download something in your virtual machine it can creep into mac os x and destroy anything it wants. the days of macs being invincible to viruses/torjans/spyware are over.

    my uncles crashed before becuase of this. and it is brand new

  • how could it go into different partitions and how would it be able to be translated to osx codding when your virtual machine is off

  • i'm not an expert on mac os x so idk how it does it.

  • viruses and hackers are unable to get out of a virtual computer, hence why police forces, testers and product developers use a virtual computer to crack into their own products. It is a completely safe way to keep your real computer safe.

    If the virus can't reach your harddrive then it can't reach your computer

    Basically, nothing is able to leave your virtual computer unless you ask it to!

  • Not entirely true, all hardware exploits will still stand, plus any exploits opend up by running a virtual machine.

  • I stand corrected sir :)

  • Rofl XD

    The first one was the best

    And sooooo true as well XD

  • "there's nothing here....j-just a couple of us macs having fun" HAHA!!

  • hahaa this is bare jokes

    mixin peep show with mac vs pc

    its bare true the ad jus shows how swag pcs are

  • can they just combine both and we can all shut the fuck up?

  • actually u can run windows on a mac!!! boot loader

  • peep show!

  • Worse adverts I have ever seen on my life...concentrating on competitor's weaknesses is not the best strategy to build a positive reputation..

  • Comment removed

  • No doubt. I don't vote for political candidates who sling mud either.

  • (note: some spelling errors are due to me using BrE 'cause i live within the commonwealth) The windows filesystem is much more organised. Instead of everything being in a non-hierarchal system, it is in fact hierarchal and allows for easier access to groups of files. Besides, the imac and macbook offer next to zero upgradeability capabilities, so lets say my hdd gets screwed. I CANT CHANGE IT. i need a better processor. I CANT PUT IT IN. I need a better GC. THIS ONE'S ALREADY GLUED IN!!!!!!!!!!!

  • look for mac its hard to shut down all applications and it is not organized

    theres no window bar so its hard to tell which apps are open

    but for windows its just a simple click and if it doesnt respond then you just go press ctrl+alt+delete and go to task manager and end task that simple

    i have a windows vista pc and it has never frozen or had to restart cuz it froze

    only windows 98

  • i have a mac and i hate it, it doesnt even have a right click, i get really angry with it all the time.

  • poor loser, what about try two fingers click?

  • LOL the mac videos pre installed on macs teach you how to right click you must be mentally challenged how not to figure it out you fail so bad I doubt you have even used a mac much less own one 50 bucks says you won't respond.

  • erm.. right, are you trying to act hard, sending angry responces to a neutral comment. Anyway, your right, i dont own a mac, but i do use one quite often (sadly) and i just dont find it very easy to use, when just trying to do normal things.

    so can i have 50 bucks now then (im coming to america soon on holiday so you can give it to me then. Thanks!

  • lol the bet wasn't for you any way ya I used a pc and it was hard but thats because it didn't do it the apple way but then again Microsoft doesn't do the apple way.

  • well the sad truth is he could probs give u 50 bucks cs he has money to buy good computers

    i have mac

    and the only peeps i know who dont hae macs are poor

  • Viruses really do get annoying.

  • Why not get both?

  • jesus, macs suck, macs are only a 3% share of all computer sales, the new macbook air costs $3000 holy shit! why, it just breaks and i am running a pc at the moment, Hey I can run GTA4 on my PC! Did you know it is exclusive for the PC? didnt think so macs are just a fashion item, they are no good. lets look at i movie, it costs money, lets look at windows movie maker, it doesnt cost money. PCs can run photoshop too the blue screen of death hardly happens and i cant believe m+w would do this shit

  • once you go mac you won't go back

  • your right and the mac system disables must of the classic games, but on the other hand it is organized, but i will still stick with the good old windows vista system as it can play the games i want

  • wounder why they haven't mentioned the price differences yet

  • lol Yes true.

    "I'm a Mac. You need to sell your house to buy me."

    "I'm a PC I don't cost much but I'm alot crapper".

    "You get what you pay for PC"

    "That's right Mac but people can't afford you anyway."

    "Oh bugger."

  • Lol.

    "I'm Linux. I'm even crappier yet cost nothing!"

    "But hardware still costs money"

    "S**t"

  • the english version of this isssssss soooooooooo much better than the u.s one there is just not funny and MAC's are fucking awful and they do freeze they always fucking freeze the useless peices of shit that they are yay for PC

  • i used to be a jealous PC owner but i was righteously converted last christmas to a proud Mac owner

  • Go you Macs for the win.

  • they forgot to mention games. PC owns

  • the primary thing i use macs for is wiping my ass, it's expensive, but worth it

  • mac are so much better than pcs

  • Sure...

    And how did you come to that conclution?

  • this makes no sense and shows how macs suck more. all they have going is that there meant to be more cool but surly thats up the the user and what they put on there computer, the only reason i see for pc being better really is it has a right click button. haha

  • theirs a right click on macs to

  • Not every single one, just a huge compilation of most of them.

  • Im playing Playing games i use pc

  • i use a mac and i dont restart my mac mostly for about 3 months. :S

  • These videos are hardly Mac VS Pc. Completely Mac biased.

  • Er yes, that's because this is the official MAC advertisement in the UK. As hinted at by the subtitle "get a mac" at the end

  • pc dos working stuff better,

    mac does better in music and movies and art stuff...

  • congratulations, you have paraphrased the entire advertisement campaign. Good to know adverts work.

  • I totally agree with you!

  • you are wrong :)

  • Nothings perfect to be honest, even computers! (but macs are a bit closer then PCs) HEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHE!

  • Ha- try playing the newest games on a MAC.

    Truthfully, MACs are good for art, video, and sound editing, while PCs are good for gaming, compatibility, and customisation.

    Saying one is closer to perfection than the other is immaterial, as they are both flawed products.

  • PC does everything mac does the art part....:P

  • Not necessarily, I run Adobe Photoshop CS4, 3DS Max 9, and some other art programs on my PC and they run extremely well.

  • Yeh same but, I ment that the PC does everything I mean everything the mac does art: music, pictures and movies anything else fails :P

  • Ah, I see. I didn't read it right. But yea it's true, lol.

  • i just love the British versions, computers suck, face it, there will never be a dominate perfectly working operation system

  • i think microsoft and macs both rock =]

    i think they say PC coz they cant really say microsoft in a ad for apple taking the piss out of microsoft without legal complications, everyone associates microsoft with pc so they use that.

    My guess anyway =]

    gd vid

  • Could be referring to Linux machines too in theory... but mainly Windows.

  • PC the best :D

  • PC is not Microsoft

  • I know PC stands for Personal Computer so macs are PCs too

  • Well at least Microsoft has hit back with their own ideas now. Not just leeting Mac run over them.

  • i hate these ads, the embodiment of smug. which i find quite unattractive in a multi-national corporation

    its also a poor choice of characters on apple's behalf choose Mitchell, akward, repressed but kind of lovable for PC. and choose Webb arrogant, selfish and self-regarding as the MAC. so what Apple wa
