Apple II commercial (1986)

RIP Steve Jobs - likely the reason this video accounted for 15% of all my video's views this past week.

"If all else fails, there's one last thing you can try: getting him an Apple of his own."

Actually I don't think that's the most expensive attempt the dad makes here - look at the car keys at 0:20 !

Pasty faced white kid in the eighties sits in front of home computer ALL DAY, and dad thinks that he'll be interested in sports, outdoor activities, and cars? Silly, silly dad!

If my dad gave me a car I would ditch the computer in a heart beat. But nooo I had to pay for my own car.

@petewkro Yeah, because pasty faced kids in the 2000's are so much more evolved and now have Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter to keep them in front of the computer. {sarcasm}

At least kids in the 80's were usually doing something constructive and learning when they sat in front of a computer.

@EpicFailFourms Actually, all Apple II's had a mouse. When the IIc came out in 1984, there was an optional mouse for it. Older Apple II's like the IIe and earlier used an expansion card for a mouse.
