This is probably old as all get out, but I thought it was funny...

I've seen better parodies of the switch ads, and even better ones regarding the blue screen of death (where the ad ends with a kernel panic on the mac, which, ironically is blue as well).

I've never seen this ad, and I'd say it's the most juvenile of any I've seen. I love parodies and this ad isn't even a good one, nor does it have the context right. The switch campaign began 2002 (iirc), by then OS X was at 10.2; and the switch campaign was all about pushing the Mac and Mac OS X. This parody doesn't do any of that. It just has a bunch of dumb mac os 7 dialog boxes saying crude things. What. The. Fuck?
It's like if someone did a parody of the windows error dialog boxes you'd see in Windows 95 with messages, 'suck my cock', 'shove a keyboard up your ass.' Where's the humor in that?

Well there is humor in it, but it's usually referred to as juvenile. Razz

Seriously, there are much better parodies out there of the OS X switch campaign. I have a video of this highlarious one where this guy starts ranting about the mac, and it's comedy fucking gold. I'll see if I can upload it, or find it on the internet and link it.

Well I can't find it on my drive, I suppose I deleted it or something. It's the one where in the end the guy starts throwing the iMac on the floor and tries to break it or something. In the middle (iirc) he starts flipping of the imaginary mac symbol on the top left hand of the screen.

edit: oh yeah, the video does make a lot more references to the classic mac os, and also, funnily enough on windows too. But it's still pretty good.
