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

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

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. "); } //OBEND:do_NOT_remove_this_comment //--> Share This Related StoriesJerry Seinfeld is the new fa

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

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

Microsoft's New Spot From Crispin Is an Ad About Nothing (So Far)
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- You could be forgiven for not knowing what that the heck Microsoft's new TV ad from Crispin Porter & Bogusky, which made its debut during last night's National Football League opener, was about. In the ad for Windows, the Seinfeld humor is par for the course, if not a bit disappointing, but it's Mr. Gates' hokey delivery that's the star of the ad. The only reference to Windows, the product it promotes, comes in the last half-second of the

Jerry Seinfeld Joking When He Called Author "Nut Job"

(Lapine released The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals in April.

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. Posted by Lindsay at 9:00 AM in Commercials Tags: Bill Gates | Curb Your Enthusiasm | Jerry Seinfeld

Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld Walk Into a Shoe Store
Though Bill Gates doesn't much work for them anymore, and Jerry Seinfeld is mostly associated with American Express these days, Microsoft enlisted the pair of them to convince America that despite its troubles getting documents to print or iTunes to function, Windows is the cat's growl. The spot they put together is, sigh, pretty clever, as you would expect from the Seinfeldian school of thought. And Gates, despite his billions, comes across as relatable, cute, and our dad. Will it make us ditch X
