It was created as the final project for a multimedia production class by students\u00a0at California State University Northridge. This amazing parody using South Park-ified versions of the original ad has racked up a whopping 20 million YouTube views..<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Get_a_Mac_Campaign\">Get a Mac Campaign<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The famous<em>\u00a0Get a Mac\u00a0<\/em>campaign was a widely broadcast television advertising campaign, launched by Apple Computer Inc. (The company later changed its name to just Apple, Inc.) The ad ran for three years, from 2006 to 2009. The ads were created by TBWA\\Media Arts Lab, which was the company\u2019s advertising agency. The ads were shown in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Japan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The advertisements used in the campaign have become very easily recognizable by the public, because each advertisement followed a standard simple template. A young, smart-looking, casually dressed man introduced himself as a Mac with the words, \u201cHello, I\u2019m a Mac!\u201d Another man, dressed in a suit, replied that he was a Windows personal computer by saying, \u201cAnd\u00a0I\u2019m a PC.\u201d Both stood against a minimalist all-white background. The PC actor had a look that vaguely resembled Bill Gates (for the American market).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Both actors then briefly discussed the capabilities and attributes of Mac and PC. The PC was presented as very formal and polite, but uninteresting and overly concerned with work, and even being frustrated by the more laid-back Mac\u2019s abilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The earlier commercials involved a general comparison of Macs and PCs, whereas Apple decided to focus the later ones mainly on Windows Vista and, later still, Windows 7.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15981\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15981\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-15981 size-full\" title=\"Get a Mac - Network - Mac and PC are holding hands to demonstrate their ability to network with each other.\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-camera.jpg\" alt=\"Get a Mac - Network - Mac and PC are holding hands to demonstrate their ability to network with each other.\" width=\"820\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-camera.jpg 820w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-camera-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-camera-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-camera-600x395.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15981\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get a Mac &#8211; Network &#8211; Mac and PC are holding hands to demonstrate their ability to network with each other.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The original advertisements star a young actor, Justin Long, as the Mac, while the PC was played by author and humorist, John Hodgman. Phil Morrison directed the original ads. The American advertisements also aired in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. At least two dozen of them were dubbed into Italian, Spanish, French, and German.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the UK, the campaign stars comedic duo Robert Webb as Mac, and David Mitchell as PC. The Japanese campaign featured the comedic duo Rahmens. Although a few of the British and Japanese advertisements originated in the American campaign, they are slightly altered to suit local sensibilities and traditions. Both the British and Japanese campaigns also featured several original ads, which have neither be shown nor imitated in the American campaign.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\u00a0Get a Mac\u00a0campaign is the successor to the\u00a0Switch\u00a0ads that were first broadcast in 2002. Apple\u2019s former CEO, Steve Jobs, introduced the campaign during a shareholders\u2019 meeting the week before the campaign started. The campaign also coincided with a change of signage and employee apparel at Apple retail stores, detailing reasons to switch to Macs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Get a Mac campaign received the Grand Effie Award in 2007. The song in the commercial is titled \u201cHaving Trouble Sneezing\u201d, which was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15982\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15982\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15982\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-security.jpg\" alt=\"Get a Mac - Vista Vs Mac - Security.\" width=\"820\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-security.jpg 820w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-security-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-security-768x468.jpg 768w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/get-mac-security-600x366.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get a Mac &#8211; Vista Vs Mac &#8211; Security.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Full_List_of_the_North_American_Ads_for_the_Campaign\">Full List of the North American Ads for the Campaign<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Accident &#8211; safety of Mac&#8217;s cords;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Angel\/Devil \u2014 Mac gives PC an iPhoto book to view;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Bake Sale- Mac questions PC regarding a bake sale he has set up;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Bean Counter &#8211; PC is trying to balance his budget;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Better-Mac praises PC\u2019s ability with spreadsheets but explains that he is better with life-related activities;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Better Results &#8211; PC and Mac discuss making home movies;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Biohazard Suit &#8211; PC appears wearing a biohazard suit to protect himself from PC viruses;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Boxer &#8211; PC is introduced by a ring announcer as if he were in a Boxing match;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Breakthrough &#8211; Mac and PC&#8217;s therapist (played by Corinne Bohrer) suggest that PC&#8217;s problems are a result of software and hardware;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Broken Promises &#8211; PC tells Mac how excited he is about the launch of Windows 7;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Calming Teas &#8211; PC announces calming teas and bath salts to make Vista&#8217;s annoyances easier to live with;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Choose a Vista &#8211; Confusion about six versions of Windows Vista;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Computer Cart &#8211; \u00a0PC says that he gets an error with a Windows Media Player Dynamic-link library file;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Counselor &#8211; PC and Mac visit a psychotherapist (played by Corinne Bohrer);<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Customer Care &#8211; Mac is seen with a Mac Genius from an Apple Retail Store&#8217;s Genius Bar;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Elimination &#8211; PC attempts to find Megan, a new laptop hunter, the perfect PC;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Flashback &#8211; Mac asks PC if he would like to see the website and home movie that he made;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Genius &#8211; Mac introduces PC to one of the Mac Geniuses from the Apple Retail Store&#8217;s Genius Bar;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Gift Exchange &#8211; Mac and PC exchange gifts for Christmas;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Goodwill &#8211; Mac and PC agree to put aside their differences because of the Christmas season;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Group &#8211; PC is at a support group for PCs living with Vista;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">iLife &#8211; PC listens to an iPod and praises iTunes;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">I Can Do Anything- Animated commercial designed for the holiday season;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Legal Copy &#8211; Every time PC says something positive about himself, the legal copy that appears on the screen bottom increases;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Meant for Work &#8211; PC, looking haggard and covered in stickers, complains about the children who use him and their activities;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Misprint- PC is on the phone with PC World, attempting to report a misprint;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Network &#8211; Mac and PC are holding hands to demonstrate their ability to network with each other;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Now What &#8211; PC begins by showing off his new, long book, I Want to Buy a Computer &#8211; Now What?;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Office Stress &#8211; Mac&#8217;s new Microsoft Office 2008 has just been released.
