I caught this Apple MacBook commercial during the NHL Stanley Cup Finals (go Florida) and pretty much loved it from the very beginning. It sets the scene with a stern librarian and a hip guy working on his computer.
Take a look at the ad called “Powered” then scroll down for more…
Weiner Dog. It’s so absurd…. I love the line from the librarian: “You’re a hot dog in a hurricane.” If you don’t hear me saying this over the next few days and weeks, it’ll be a cryin’ shame. It’s a line that needs to go viral, right? Right.
How can you come back from being called a hot dog in a hurricane? Answer: You can’t. Pack up your MacBook and go home. But the student in the ad is a different generation. His entitled behind stays put and boasts about his fancy laptop. I still give him an L for the dose of slap delivered by the librarian. She’ll be back, young man, she’ll be back.
I’m not an Apple guy, save for one of their devices. I prefer Android phones, Garmin navigation, earbuds from Amazon, but one thing I love a whole lot is my MacBook Pro. It’s so easy to use that all I really need to focus on is the work I’m doing. Rarely is there ever a technical issue that bogs me down and I love that.
How do you feel about the MacBook ad? Have you ever been hounded by a bitter librarian? Was she hot?
Apple has two more ads in this series of entitled brats sticking it to the old folks. This one in the series is called “Charged, and the following ad is called “Found.”
