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

For Just $10 Million, Jerry Seinfeld Gave Microsoft This Shoegazing Stumper [Jerry Seinfeld]
newVideoPlayer("/jsmicro_def.flv", 506, 423,""); In its bid to top the deceptively simple "I"m a Mac/I'm a PC" ad campaign of its rival, Microsoft went big, hiring auteur Michel Gondry to direct a commercial featuring Jerry Seinfeld alongside Bill Gates. For his involvement, Seinfeld was handsomely compensated to the tune of $10 million — a big number, but small potatoes compared to the whole ad campaign's rumored $300 million budget. For that kind of cash, you might expect the end result to be an or

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.

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. Related posts: Jerry Seinfeld New Face of Microsoft Tom Brokaw Interviews Bill Gates on His Last Day Je
