Yes, it's true, at least from the viewpoint of this bitchy TV scrutinizer. Microsoft makes some damn funny commercials.

The new Microsoft commercials, especialy the ones for XP sucked. Older commercials were better.

Intel commercials are the best. When I was very young I remember watching one about some technicians in multicolored suits dancing to funky music at a Intel factory. Then there was the Pentium 3 ad where a big mighy man would try to lift a huge weight and after failing would clone himself into three people symbolsing pentium III and proceed to lift the weight.

The one with the CEO explaining a new proposal to all his VP's is the best, by far.

CEO: We've already invested $2 million in development. I'm psyched. The board is psyched. Now, one question. Is this implementable?
[All the VP's stare at him incredulously.]
VP1: No.
VP2: No.
VP3: No.
VP4: Still psyched?

I like the IBM ones set in that office.

Also, Intel's Blue Man Group commercials rock.

GE's latest one is the funniest of all. :)

*cue up black and white episode of Lassie*

Lassie and Timmy are walking through a field when all of a sudden, a cougar jumps off of a rock and stands before them just staring. Lassie rears back on her hind legs and starts doing ninja moves matrix-style and then waves her paw inviting the cougar to "bring it on". Cougar just drops its jaw in awe and runs like hell. :D

*cue some snippets of GE info*
*camera switches back to Timmy and Lassie, with Timmy doing some fishing*

A grizzly bear walks up near Timmy, and Lassie just looks at the bear. Bear runs like hell. :P

I love the "business solution" one's best

Cue shot of people sitting around a table with a strange vasse filled with what looks like colored sand

"Whats this?"
"Pixie Dust"
"Pixie Dust?"
"Pixie Dust, Sprinkle it on, Server goes down, Sprinkle some dust server comes back up, Sprinkle enough and Server starts fixing itself"
"Cost?"
"Cheap"
"Cheap?"
"Soy based"
"Gentlement I think we have ourselves a winner"
(Cue company prom's about Business solutions that could acutaly work)

The "Time travel goggles" one is better. Dude gets right to the good stuff, then they cut him off with "insert quarter" lit up on the outside. :lol:

Heh, I'm actually talking about the new Microsoft Office commercials with the football-like celebrations...like dumping a water tank over someone instead of the gatorade tank :D
