WWDC 'Get a Mac'

WWDC 2006:

While not strictly a part of the ad campaign, Hodgman and Long appeared in a video prior to the keynote at the 2006 Worldwide Developers Conference. Hodgman's character, PC, claimed to have a message from Steve Jobs, in an attempt to stall Mac development. He starts to go off-topic about his vacation with Steve, but when Mac arrives he says he's just preparing for the next ad and starts to sing the Meow Mix theme song off-key.

The Get a Mac campaign is a current (2006-present) television advertising campaign created for Apple Inc. by TBWA, the company's advertising agency. Shown in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, the ads in the campaign have become easily recognizeable owing to the fact that each ad follows a standard simple template: against a minimalist all-white background, a man dressed in casual clothes introduces himself as a Macintosh running Mac OS X ("Hello, I'm a Mac..."), while a man in a more formal suit and tie combination introduces himself as a non-Macintosh personal computer running Microsoft Windows ("... And I'm a PC."). The two then act out a brief vignette in which the capabilities and attributes of 'Mac' and 'PC' are compared, with PC - characterized as a formal, stuffy person overly concerned with work - often being frustrated by the more laid-back Mac's superior abilities. Some more recent ads have shifted focus away from comparing features of the computer systems to a more general comparison.
