Mac UK - Pie Chart

[DazNoobs]

hell yeh, I have a mac AND a pc, i can capture the moments in both photos and spreadsheets

[JoeJones3001]

After watching all of these adverts all I've worked out that macs do is play music and make photo albums.

[SMlTHYY]

The advert's funny, but it supports the Mac so therefore I protest it completely.

[dancininmyundies]

Imagine you're a business owner. Look at these two men; now, which one would you hire? Yeah, the truth hurts doesn't it.

[Atazoth13]

Macs are millions of times more advanced videos never buffer everything is faster than a pc you can connect to other apple products they cant get viruses and if you want to edit movies pro with a pc all you do is play shitty low resoulution games i use my fucking ps3 or xbox for that and most games now can run mac and pc

[wjm1406]

lol mac has music and all, then why does apple have itunes for pc?

[Elephanzee]

Two words: Dual. Boot. Why pick? I can have the best of both worlds—use great Mac apps AND play Windows games.

[sd9800]

windows = gaming (play)

mac = editing software (work)

[SavaeReardon]

I don't care for Macs; I came here for Mitchell and Webb.

[jjoeshaw]

powerpoint is better than keynote anyway....

[arfer]

These ads just make me hate Mac more.......Do you need to show a certificate of smugness before you can buy a Mac?

[SnIIpzDesigns]

It would'nt be Mac vs PC it would be Mac vs Windows software because PC's are actually the computer itself like HP make PC's

[WendelRicky]

The problem of course is that David Mitchell is hilarious and that holiday sounded amazing just because of the way he said it! Pc wins... Wait... PC=Personal Computer=Mac?

[IzaFaqat]

ive never made a pie chart in 13 years of using windows

[arvelos76]

Uk Mac is a prick.

[arvelos76]

My PC runs Crysis, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Dragon Age 2 and its awsome

What does your MAC run? iTunes?

[dusto384]

@arvelos76 On top of all that stuff, PC also runs iTunes haha

[labratbum]

@arvelos76 All of the above.

[britishmariobros]

@arvelos76 All the games that you mentioned...

[leecfb000]

atleast pc has character, mac has no sense of humour

[FadeToBlack181]

PC: Hello Mac.

MAC: Hello PC, what are you doing?

PC: Playing some games.

MAC: Oh really ? Which ones?

PC: Oh you know...

All of them.

[06mgibson]

@FadeToBlack181 sorry to burst your bubble.. but i had a gaming PC and I've gone onto a macbook pro.. i swear down it actually performs better. would game on my mac over my pc any day.

[cultofdagon]

@06mgibson You probably didn't have a very good PC then.

[06mgibson]

@cultofdagon It cost me £600.. it was a pile of wank. all PC's are.

[Chihang256]

I hate apples adverts.

[obermegalutschoar]

I once bought a Mac but returned it immediately because it didn't come with a spare t-shirt.

[MrCognee]

mac: I can do fun stuff

pc: I CAN DO AWESOME STUFF LIKE GAMING AND NOT LOCKING UP EVERY DAY

[wXlightning]

UK mac is kind of a dick.

[MattDoesNotRock]

SHENANIGANS AND TOMFOOLERY 

[RhavoX]

one argument for fun. PC actually has games. And some quite good ones

[quilliqal]

@RhavoX you see if you had a brain you'd be able to see that this issue has been addressed in the comments directly below yours, if you want to play games you can boot camp, or if you've bought a PC entirely for gaming well there's gaming consoles with a bigger and more dedicated gaming community, that is unless you're a cheap torrent addict with no money

[fimolas]

haha, I love how everyone who uses PCs seems to be SO offended. Maybe I should do a pie chart about it on my mac...

[tdasas11]

To all PC haters: want to play something online like Modern warfare 2? Oh, wait... YOU CAN'! xD

[cozmo195productions]

@tdasas11

they can use boot camp to run cod6?

[Danoftouni]

@tdasas11 its called a games console... lol

[MyMonkeyExploded]

@tdasas11 I know I can :) Just go on bootcamp, boop and there we are, starting up windows 7, now I enjoy a very good PC session ;D

[MultiGeekProductions]

@tdasas11 lol we can XD I hope you meant can't anyways : - )

[Hack3rINC]

lmao those expressions xD

[smitty618]

Yes, spreadsheets, pie charts. And games.

[Carena722]

this is a legit commercial?

[keth1010]

@Carena722 LOL!

[windscare21]

cant beleive that apple can make fun of PC but PC gets sued for making fun of apple

i love apple but this is just bs

[maigaard7]

Well, a PC can run iTunes (for music AND podcasts (which are "fun" for some reason)) and Photoshop just as well as a Mac, so I don't get what the beef is all about.

[ThatGuyWithThePenis]

Pc can run games

Mac cant

[eurofyter]

These UK Mac commercials are much funnier than the North American ones.

[sitreaone]

These don't make sense their just using stereotypes to make people think Macs are better than PCs.

[lmncello]

Love david and rob! I enjoyed it as it was supposed to be I think; as an advert for Mac and not as an accurate depiction of Mac and PC. I personally use both.

[hollycornhufflepuff]

i love david and rob.... i mean rob is goregous and david it so sweet and cute. <3

[Cmr33xx]

who buys a windows and says "Can't fucking wait to do spread sheets and pie charts" :P

[mrdanface]

@Cmr33xx lol exactly, more like "oh i can actually play games." mac is such a gimmick.

[Cmr33xx]

@mrdanface :D

[TheComradeMax]

@Cmr33xx I do :I

[ChazBoable]

@Cmr33xx thats kinda the point to demean the pc and male the mac look better. i'm a pc and giving pointless information was my idea.

[absurdrhino]

@Cmr33xx I... I buy a windows so I can play games... How's that going for you?

[SMuJ17]

@Cmr33xx That's how I masturbate.

[Pertained]

@Cmr33xx Who doesn't? 

[caseyownsn00bs]

they always portray the pc people as business people and the mac people as everyday people. that just goes to show that pc is march more professional and better. even though it is not used by people in business suits

[lazathor]

@caseyownsn00bs yeah and pcs are better at running games

[ErrrrrrRia]

Mitchell and Webb prefer macs.

Bu anyway i love my mac :]

[coprographia]

...if you're the kind of cheaty shit that counts things made for Windows as "on Mac".

[FunkyLittleWhiteGirl]

haha Too funny! (The UK dudes are so much funnier. Good stuff.) lol

[dasheriff001]

of course they are! that's michell and webb

[asstegos21]

lol nice joke

[asstegos21]

why nobody says that pc can play REAL GAMES and mac's DONT.

[ShatteredScreens]

COD, Spore, Sims 3, Age of Empires, World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero, Star Wars, Need for Speed, Command and Conquer, Fable, and many other's aren't real games? And you can always run PC games through bootcamp or VMware Fusion on a Mac.

You fail.

[macbookboy2]

LOL Mac user myself, but i have a gaming pc aswell, as i am in the class of people who OWN Macs and know they suck the axel grease from a revolving german selling cement salesman balls, when it comes to gaming.

Everything esle, i like mac more :)

FACE IT!

[phunnyplace]

YOU ARE AWESOME speak the truth !!!

[NismoZRS]

no.. its just games that everyone already has.. and half of them are lame.. what about Aion, Oblivion, Borderlands, Dragon Age Origins, Red Faction Guerrilla, Resident Evil 5, Batman Arkham Asylum, Street Fighter IV, fallout 3 and lets not forget out big of a fail Steam on mac was.. which means no Half Life, Assassins Creed, Left 4 Dead, and alot of others.. sure you can use Boot camp to launch windows, but that defeats the purpose of owning a mac.. plus half the time it doesnt even work..

[DietDrMario]

no halflife? FAIL

[richmondn962]

hahahaha what the heck are shananigans and tumfoolery???

[jaimeness]

To say PCs or Macs can do pics or movies or any single task is stupid! They don't just do one single task; they can perform many different jobs! It's like saying: a car can go straight. Yes, but it also turns and stops and goes in reverse!

[TheMacEnthusiast]

Macs can do video editing picture editing music and creative things, Macs come with good editing software. Pcs come with... windows Movie maker. I'm a PC and Mac user but yeah.

[05banks]

Basically.. Macs can do pics

PCs can do business things like spreadsheets and databases, AND pics and podcasts. or maybe Mac guy forgot about that?

[ShatteredScreens]

Mac can do them better though.

[harley1211]

Funny, :) Im in the process stage of uploading Dell VS HP

check out my page for that video soon

[Ashleycool123]

im from uk yeah i like it how used the 'olden time' slang stuff. lol

[pe3er]

hurray for tomfoolery! keep this word alive

[Jumblebear]

yeah... a completely unbiased portrayal of pcs there, i mean, they can't view images or play videos or anything like that. in fact, i do think pcs are just boxes with spreadhseets in them.

honestly, that's ridiculous, these adverts may as well be "pcs are rubbish, buy a mac", they only serve to wind me up, not to want to buy a mac

[kasper1992]

why do they have to make a different commercial one for the UK? Can't they use the ones they have in the US?

[dancinggloves]

I think the UK adverts were done because of slight language differences, for example this one (Pie chart) 'just kicking it' && 'vacation' aren't really words the be used by the British. Also Mitchell and Webb were perfect for these ads.

[huhuluihuhu]

Because the US adverts are too straight-forward for the British sense of humour. You probably notice that all the UK mac adverts have a dark and sarcastic humours.

[SpythonS]

Wtf that makes no sense at all... Aren't macs supposed to be all about work? I can watch movies, play music, and watch podcasts on my PC..

[vengu]

um no. you can make albums on pc and macs are more expensive. and they use MICROSOFT office which originated for the PC

[dragonforce911]

with software such as parralells on macs now that allow you to run any PC program without the danger of viruses affecting your computer, only the virtual machine, what reason do you have to buy a PC rather than a mac, mac ticks all the boxes in my book. i garuntee that a mac mini is better than any PC you can find for £500.

[rickjamesb]

PCs have more fun than macs. Try playing the latest games on the mac... oh no wait you can't. Btw PCs also have cameras and podcasting and although macs would have you believe that i-pods are the best mp3 player on the market there are alternatives that won't lose all your files and that have realiable batteries.

[Tomrade]

mac do have less fun but they designed for media . if you ask all the film company's what they use they will say final cut pro

[rickjamesb]

I use final cut pro on the PC. I can't really understand why macs are better for media when they frequently incur compatibility problems. I'd be very interested to hear why you prefer macs for design because if Im honest I just like to be highly opinionately while on youtube for the hell of it. I donlt know enough about the mac to hold an opinion abuot mac vs pc topic.

[Tomrade]

the os and hardware is geared towards media use. it compiles media quicker, handles codecs and files better and offers better input options. how the heck did you final cut pro on the pc? i wouldn't be able to affoid that i got it through my company its like thousands of dollars? theres never been a pc version?

[OneWorld4us]

I think the american ads are funnyer and better..

[ACRetro]

Nice spelling, uncle Sam ;)

[OneWorld4us]

thank´s man, I´m not american and sorry for the misspelling... any way, U got the point and that´s called comunication

[ACRetro]

Nice to know some people on this thing can take a joke!

Some comments these days are comparable to warfare!

[danup187]

but windows do there fair share of advertising there shity vista programme, why cant apple advertise aswell? i do like the advert though

[pedro550]

Ha, shinanigans and high jinx

[sibionic]

Anyone who loved Peep Show will be pretty annoyed by these I think. It's just depressing to think that they can be bought so easily. And hate the way Robert 'Mac' Webb speaks here, almost as though he's been mind controlled! Which he wasn't of course - the pair of them are just naughty, greedy pigs!

[semiflex]

annoyed?! i think its pretty imrpessive how 2 british sitcom writers who have wrote 3 series's are now doin ads for apple inc.

[sibionic]

...Impressive? as though that's the fruition of their talent? Love the idea that '2 british sitcom wirters' need validation from some shite advertising campaign. That's their finest hour?! Bollocks. They blew it.

[semiflex]

a campaign for apple. imagine if they did one for haribo or yakult. oh and i got the other message wrong slightly. they didnt write peep show.

[paulbottomley42]

These ads, and the American ones they are based on, are really irritating. Funny, but their message relies solely on an outdated image, and is just plain wrong in a lot of cases. Grrr

[whatmatters]

poor marketing strategy

[martineyles]

Obviously never heard of Dave Gorman - a man who can effortlessly capture the craziest of events through pie charts.

[fleetingnotforever]

I like the whole introducing of the pie chart, lol. He takes it so seriously like only Mitchell can.

[thebribes]

so... Macs can't do spreadsheets?

I know what I want to use in my office...

[freshjuk]

It's just a funny advert supposed to reinforce stereotypical views that PCs are boring and office related, while Macs are fun easy consumer computers. It's just a bullocks ad campaign. If it makes you laugh, enjoy it.

[NotATube]

Yep; well, I've never seen the U.S. ads these are based on, but they got some stick for relying on "image" stereotypes, and this one is pretty substance-free too. Wouldn't mind if they'd used more appropriate ones, but the "PCs are just office machines and can't do home stuff" is about 10-years out-of-date.

[jimbob324]

I like Mitchell and webb but this advert makes no fecking sense i.e. you can do movies, music, and podcasts on a pc. What exactly are they saying here? and why have mitchell and webb ruined their credibility by whoring themselves out to apple like everybody else?
