Apple Shares Humorous 'Backstage' Video Shown During WWDC Opening
To kickoff its 2015 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple shared a humorous "Backstage" video starring Saturday Night Live alum Bill Hader. Hader took on the role of David LeGary, WWDC's director, prepping for the big show.
As of this afternoon, Apple's uploaded the "Backstage" video to YouTube, giving those who missed the WWDC keynote live stream a chance to watch the opening act.
The video makes references to several apps like Angry Birds and Tinder, with several app mascots on hand. There's a guy in a bird costume for Angry Birds, and a goat for Goat Simulator. Community's Danny Pudi raps a silly song during the video, and it ends showing just a water bottle and a laptop after a power failure. "All right, we'll work with it," says Hader. "I'll tell you what, whoever walks out there better have something incredible to say."
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is wrapping up later this week. During the keynote event, the company debuted iOS 9, OS X 10.11, watchOS 2, and Apple Music.

I was laughing so hard during this video before the keynote. Apple always knows how to start a keynote! :D

Am I the only one who interpreted it as Apple making fun of Samsungs crazy over-the-top keynotes, suggesting that simpler is better?

I'm afraid I didn't like this opening at all. I didn't find it funny. I wasn't entertained; just irritated. I was relieved to get to Craig Federighi's presentation. Now he was funny, entertaining and engaging to watch.
Sorry I can't be more positive.

Did Tim make a cameo in the lift full of Tim 'Cookalikes'? He should have really.

I didn't find it at all humorous myself.... It was Apple "TRYING" to be funny.

Not sure if my British humour isn't in check, but I didn't find it at all 'humorous'...
