He's also the voice of the oldest son on F is for Family, which is a pretty good show.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Didn’t the popular response to Apple go against what they wanted for the ads? The PC guy seemed kind of boring but normal, and everyone wanted the Mac to go die in a fire. ISTR Mac sales rose a little bit during that period, though that may have had as much to do with Vista's troubled launch as anything else.

I got a macbook in 2006 because the alternative was Vista. It took a lot of explaining to my mom why this $999 laptop was worth the money. I even had her go to one of her friends that was in IT at the time and the first thing he said to her was "Get the Mac, Vista is a dumpster fire." Decade and change later and she's a Mac user. Mac's are perfect for old people. Edit: My brother is still using that 2006 macbook. It won't update but he can still  and watch youtube.

My mum went in a weird direction - she switched to Linux. She sometimes asked me how to do poo poo. I have no idea how linux works, it's totally bizarre as I'm used to windows.

Bruceski posted:"You won't find that trail on a map, despite it being paved and maintained in the same style as all the other coastal overlooks around here. Cartographers don't leave here alive." I mean the dude's blind, so how would he know anyway?  I'm sure it's been discussed, but those "Don't let anyone tell you what you do! gently caress society's expectations, and also drink Diet Coke to show what a rebel you are!" ads are insufferable. It's especially annoying that Gillian Jacobs, who is otherwise perfect in all regards IMO, is in one of them.

raditts posted:Wait, there are people that think Waiting is a good movie? I've worked in kitchens and minus the gratutious sexual hazing it rang quite cathartic yeah. It's like reading Kitchen Confidential. Anyone can enjoy the material but if you've been in similar scenarios it works on a different level. Plus it's fun and silly and I haven't seen it in years but I don't remember it being anything more than a slightly above average enjoyable dumb comedy. I know what I'm getting when I go to see stuff like that...

I mean, I don't have numbers, but they seemed to be doing well in this period. If there was a backlash to the ads it didn't seem to have much of an effect.

I was kinda wobbly on Justin Long, but he kills it so hard in F is for Family. The show in general is pretty great if you like Bill Burr-ian humor, but he absolutely nails the part to an incredible degree and is arguably the best part.

The Mcdonald's world cup spot is kind of racist. The hispanics behind the counter are teaching the whites eating about soccer. That's not the racist part, the racist part is that the hispanics are pretty much all working at the Mcdonald's and the white people (along a black guy) are wearing dress shirts and ties.

Honestly sounds like every McDonald's I've set foot in in a major metropolitan area. Although my nearest one has an inexplicable Russian guy they usually put at the register.

There’s a radio ad about free range eggs or chickens or something with one of those EXTREMELY NASALLY HIGH PITCHED little girls voices going “I think hens are the smartest animals out there!”

On a similar note, I'm getting really sick of the Captain Morgan commercial(s) where it's someone saying "Captain? Captain. Captain." over and over.

Surprised I never see that bad ad during Bar Rescue. Also I am not very happy with Comcast these days and would love to switch if AT&T ever puts Fiber in the area (right now it DHL only) but what happened with cable to make Direct TV hate cable so much that they have to remind us every loving ad. Did their parents get murdered by a cable repairman or something? Rirse fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jul 8, 2018 |

Taerkar posted:Mac sales benefitted from the sharp rise in the average number of computers in households and for new college students as well. The iMac came about at the right time as computers and the internet were becoming a necessity. When I started high school in 1994 (or was it 1995?  ), my concept of the internet was getting onto Gopher via AOL. By the end of that year I was getting on to the internet with Netscape Navigator (although AOL was still our ISP). The school computers at the time were Mac Performas, which while mostly all in one, were a very sterile, white and industrial looking machine.By the time I graduated in 1999, everything had changed. Computers were a necessary appliance like a refrigerator, especially if you were a student of any kind. My family had switched to PCs by that time, but the school's computers were almost all iMacs by then, and everyone was mainlining the internet through dedicated ISPs by then. I definitely think that the iMac's now very tacky, but fun for the 90's shape helped with their popularity of the time. A stark beige obelisk of a PC was definitely a lot more intimidating than an Easter egg with a screen for families who had never had a computer. If it wasn't for the iMac, I suspect that Apple would still be mostly a bulk supplier to schools.

IIRC, Apple had a big push into schools with the iMac so they ended up being pretty ubiquitous school computers, even if people at home were using Windows machines. I hated working on them because I knew what I needed to know from my home computer, but I at least learned to type pretty well from those classes.

Who, at least at the time, was an avid Mac fan. Seeing Apple rise again was pretty cool as a Mac guy back then. Wouldn't touch their stuff now, but it was cool then.
