New iPod Television Ad

It's true. If you want to believe me. I saw one of the commercials on Comedy Central today around 3:00 3:30 eastrin standerd time.

It wasn't as cool as the other apple commercials of the past few years but the idea has potential.

Comedy Central? I'm on it.

God I love the Formac Studio TV. :D

I was watching VH1's 25 Greatest Commercials of All Time and I saw the new iPod commercial. Also, Apple's 1984 commercial was featured in this special from what I have heard. I started watching at #15 of 25 and I didn't see it, so they must have ranked it lower than 15. Idiots!!!

I think it's well done for what it is. They're definitely promoting the minimalist cool. My roomate, an architect who uses a PC, thought it was a quality commercial and we started talking about the iPod. (I don't mean to apply by this anecdote that this commercial will be successful.)

VH1 put a commercial that's been out for one day into a short list of the all-time best ads?

or do you mean you saw the commercial during a break in the show?

i agree that 1984 should have been higher, it did start the superbowl ad competition that we all know and love...

edit: by cosmic coincidence i just saw it... very very good, clearly targeting a specific group of people that has high potential for sales but low current penetration. first time they've advertised a product correctly in several years...

pnw

I also saw the news tv ads. Dancing to the color background to the song Hey mama by the black eyed peas i think. Not 100% sure, i can't remember now.

Saw one during "The West Wing" tonight - I'd give it mixed reviews (although I like the campaign itself). The print ads show the ipod clearly, but in video, it's moving around too much for people to get a good look. And my other issue is that the color kept flipping between the print-ad hues, instead of having a commercial that was all purple/black/white, or magenta/black/white, or green/black/white.

Otherwise, slick.

Here it is.

10:35pm EDT commercial break during "Law & Order" -- definitely "Hey Mama" by Black Eyed Peas.

i dont get what's up with companies trying to make "urban" commercials. I'm not racist at all, and dont' mean this as a racist comment, but look at cokes adds (camron and maya) and the new mcdonalds adds, and now this one. i just dont quite get why that's the big market to push it to now adays. again, dont flame me or get pissed saying stuff about me, think about the commercials and you'll understand what i mean.


edited: added "urban" to make me sound like less of a racist moron :p
