Mac Commercials Have... Always Sucked...

Granted, the 1984 Apple Macintosh commercial was notable, memorable, perhaps even groundbreaking. But, seriously?! I don't know if anything in it can be described as "acting" and it doesn't really "grow the brand," unlike the Futurama ad in the same vein. See both below the fold and judge for yourself.

My nominee for best actor in these? Definitely the "Hey, we were watching that!" guy.

The less said about the "I'm a Mac" and "I'm a PC" guys the better, although Nate did a stirring rendition of the latter for Halloween...
