Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Gates' Microsoft Ads Pulled
Microsoft spokesman Frank Shaw denied the ads were getting yanked because of negative buzz (some claimed the spots were a poor attempt to counter Apple's "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads). "All along we said we were having a teaser campaign," Shaw insisted. "We're getting ready to start the second phase. This was the plan all along." The news was first reported by Valleywag. Seinfeld reportedly received $10 million for the spots. Tell Us: Did you think the Microsoft ads were funny?  Gwyneth Paltrow

Microsoft Dumps Jerry Seinfeld for Pharrell and Eva Longoria
Less than a month ago, Microsoft announced that it had tapped comedian Jerry Seinfeld for its "hip" new Windows Vista ads (also featuring Microsoft chairman Bill Gates) that were going to finally stand up to Apple's wildly popular "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials. But now, the Wall Street Journal, which originally broke the story, reports that Windows is moving into "phase two" of their $300 million ad campaign—and the 54-year-old comic has gotten the boot.  Perhaps realiz

Microsoft announcement tomorrow: No more Seinfeld ads! [Breaking]
Remember those awful Microsoft ads with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates? Well, now you can forget them. Microsoft flacks are desperately dialing reporters to spin them about "phase two" of the ad campaign — a phase, due to be announced tomorrow, which will drop the aging comic altogether. Microsoft's version of the story: Redmond had always planned to drop Seinfeld. The awkward reality: The ads only reminded us how out of touch with consumers Microsoft is — and that Bill Gates's company has millio

Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft ads scrapped; company says ‘We meant to do that’
The pointless and ire-inducing Microsoft ads featuring Jerry Seinfeld and billionaire founder Bill Gates reminding you how much of your time is wasted using the all too fallible operating system have been withdrawn from the airwaves. The ads featured the two in everyday situations that were meant to show that Microsoft is hip and approachable but just managed to come off as lame. It is widely believed that the ads, which cost Microsoft a reported $30 million, including Seinfeld’s $10 fee, were pulle

Microsoft says goodbye to Seinfeld
So does this mean Jerry Seinfeld got $10 million for doing two ads? The New York Times and several other outlets today are reporting that Microsoft is entering 'phase two' of its new Windows ad campaign that started off  featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. And 'phase two' means no more Seinfeld. Microsoft has said that the Seinfeld-Gates ads were merely meant to spark conversation, not launch a long-term ad strategy.

Microsoft Dumps Jerry Seinfeld
Crispin Porter, from the ad agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky, said Microsoft currently has no plans to air a third commercial featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates, amid criticism that the ads made Microsoft look even more out of touch with consumers. Instead, Microsoft will accept the $10 million loss paid to Seinfeld, and go with anti-mac ads for the remainder of their $300 million ad campaign budget. Why didn’t they do anti-mac ads in the first place? We think Bill is trying to get past his ge

Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld go to Shoe Circus - VIDEO
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

Bill Gates commercials with Jerry Seinfeld canceled, but he’s still filthy rich
Those awful ads that feature Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld, and reveal how out of touch with consumers Microsoft is, are supposedly canceled. While Microsoft is adamant that Seinfeld has not been dropped because of the backlash to the ads from consumers, it is all a little too coincidental don’t you think? The next set of ads are set to counter Apple’s very successful ‘I’m a PC’ advertising campaign. Taking a swipe at Apple, the Microsoft campaign will use an engineer who resemble

Gates, Seinfeld Funnier Second Time Around
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- In the latest Microsoft ad out of Crispin Porter & Bogusky, Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld try to blend in. An extended version of the new commercial, which is called 'New Family' and broke last night on CBS during 'Big Brother,' is already being passed around on the web. In the ad, the pair is trying to reconnect with "real people," living with a, well, more quirky than typical American family.
