Bill Gates And Jerry Seinfeld Go To Shoe Circus
Gabe probably doesn't think it's funny, but the first of the Microsoft ads starring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld and directed by Michel Gondry aired last night. It's one of those little short film vignette commercials that seem to have nothing to do with the product being advertised. I think it's funny:
It's as if Michel Gondry directed part of a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

Microsoft Ad: Shoe Circus - Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates
This was a dumb, hacky attempt at trying to be cute and creative as the mac ads. Last I checked, Jerry Seinfeld isn’t that ‘hip’. At least Justin Long was banging Drew Barrymore and has now moved on to Spiderman snaggle-tooth, Kirsten Dunst.

This second ad is much better. Its totaly clear now.
Windows - Not walls.

Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Gates & the New Microsoft Ad…Really?!
Microsoft finally revealed it’s new commercial featuring funny-man Jerry Seinfeld. Yes, the one that is supposed to “rival” the Mac ads with Justin Long. And I use the word “rival” loosely.
One can argue that the commercial is original, but I think the heads at Microsoft tried a bit too hard to connect to the audience with being overly ‘wacky’ and ‘hip.’ That is, if you can call eating a churro in a mall wacky and hip. Basically, all the jokes m
Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft VIDEO!
VIDEO! Watch video of the hilarious Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft commercial with Bill Gates. Jerry Seinfeld joins Bill Gates of Microsoft for a new campaign. Jerry was reportedly paid $10 million for his work.
LALATE just loves Jerry in commercials.
The new campaigns slogan is reportedly “Windows, Not Walls” and one of the largest ad campaigns ever for Microsoft.
Who else luvs Jerry in commercials? So, so funny.
Watch Seinfeld and Gates below in the new commercial.
Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates Microsoft Ad
Microsoft released their first ad co-starring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. It’s not funny. It’s not entertaining. It’s a waste of money. Jerry got paid $10, and Microsoft plans to spend $300 million on the campaign. Jerry’s fine, but Microsoft really need to fire their ad agency and hire a new one.
Steve Jobs will always be the cooler geek Bill.

Seinfeld, Gates make Microsoft ad debut
Microsoft's first spot in its $US300 million ($A370.14 million) advertising campaign to revamp its stodgy image features comedian Jerry Seinfeld and company founder Bill Gates in a quirky attempt to buy shoes at a discount store.
The bizarre ad debuted during the season opening game of the National Football League, and by its effect was being heatedly debated on the Internet.
The ad shows Seinfeld advising the world's richest man on how to stretch cheap new shoes that are a little too small.

New Seinfeld TV ad for Microsoft draws negative reviews online
The software giant's new ad starring Jerry Seinfeld has drawn largely negative reviews online, after premiering Thursday night during NBC's broadcast of the National Football League's season kickoff game.
The ad was the start of a highly anticipated US$300 million advertising campaign that Microsoft is launching in attempt to rebuff Apple's popular TV commercials, which have portrayed Microsoft and PCs as uncool.

Jerry Seinfeld Loves His PC
Microsoft debuted a new ad featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates to kick off a campaign that is part of a larger effort to connect with consumers and tell the Windows story. Watch the ad.
REDMOND, Wash.(RUSHPRNEWS)09/05/2008 - “This is the Conquistador,” explains Jerry Seinfeld, showing a befuddled Bill Gates a brown loafer. “They run very tight.”

Seinfeld, Bill Gates Waste 90 Seconds Not Talking About Microsoft [Advertising]
Less than two weeks after Microsoft confirmed that it had picked the Mac-loving Jerry Seinfeld as its new endorser, this ad with Seinfeld and Bill Gates is everywhere. And it is awful. I mean, it's kind of engaging to see this half-billionaire comedian kicking it in a shoe store with the many-billionaire Microsoft nerd-in-chief; but up until the final seconds, I was convinced this was an ad for Payless. And I may be stupid, but I'm still your target audience, Microsoft. Surely Sarah Silverman and Willie Nel

Filed under: Video, Commercials, Celebrities, Reality-Free
We talked about this when they announced that Jerry Seinfeld had signed on to promote Windows for Microsoft. If you were watching the big NFL kickoff Thursday night, you might have seen what that looked like. If you missed it, it's embedded after the jump. I've watched the commercial a few times now, and I'm torn. I agreed with Brad's take in the original post, that Seinfeld may be a few years past the point of ideal pitchman.
That being said, the

I don’t know how it’s possible, but Microsoft has somehow taken its uncanny sucking ability and made comedy deity Jerry Seinfeld into an utter bore. Check out the new commercial from the campaign that’s supposed to “totally revitalize PCs”.

Jerry Seinfeld’s terrible Microsoft Ad
Jerry Seinfeld is said to have been paid around $10 million to represent Microsoft in a campaign that will cost the company $300 million. There are surely more ridiculous douche-tastic commercials coming, but this one takes the cake. Pretty much literally, considering the ending, which people on The Huffington Post are saying basically means “let them eat cake.” This commercial makes no sense, isn’t funny, and just brings it home how out of touch Microsoft is. Seinfeld isn’t funny or
The new Jerry Seinfeld ad for Microsoft - love it? Hate it?
Jerry Seinfeld is the new shill for Microsoft, in an attempt for them to be as hip and cool as the Justin Long Mac ads. Look, I love PC’s, and I run Windows, but let’s face it - Microsoft is just never going to be the hipness. It just isn’t happening. Even with Jerry Seinfeld. Watch this ad and see if you agree with me:
Yeah…..and Jerry got $30 million for this. Hmm.
