Best Mac Ads, Spoofs and Parodies

Since its original 1984 Macintosh commercial Apple has continued to create great ads for its products. The best thing about these ads is that people love to parody them. The current PC vs. Mac ads continue Apple's legacy that it started more then two decades ago.

Below is a list of all the best Apple ads, spoofs and parodies that I am aware that are available. If you can find better ones let me know.

Note: Viewer discretion advised. Most of these spoofs contain inappropriate language, so if this offends you please don't watch them.

PC vs. Mac Spoofs (watch all the current ads)
Think Different/Switch Spoofs (example of the original ad)
iPod Parodies
  • New iPods - This is an SNL (Saturday Night Live) skit about Steve Jobs and the new iPods (such as the Micro, Picano, and Invisa)
  • Apple iRack - This is an MadTV skit about Steve Jobs and the new iRack
  • iPod Flea - See the new iPod flea and it's accessories.
  • Apple iPod 1984 - A parody of the original 1984 commercial.
  • iPod Racer - You have to see it to believe it. The Steve Jobs mask is a great touch.
Other Parodies
  • Toasted Bunny - Apple G3 vs Pentium 2 commercial. (Note: this is a real ad)
  • iBox Ads - An ad for Apple's new gaming console?
  • MacIntosh Jr. (The Power to Crush the other Kids) - This is an SNL skit of an older Macintosh ad.
  • McIntosh Post-It-Notes - This is another SNL skit which makes fun of the Apple Newton PDA.

Who can forget the Ellen Feis Apple Switch ads. What made her priceless was the way she did the ad, she almost looks like she is drugged out.

Han Solo: Apple Switch Parody

From the YouTube page: "This little ditty was inspired by those fun little Apple commercials where normal folks go on TV and tell everyone about how their lives ... all » were terrible until they bought a Macintosh computer. I thought Han Solo would make an excellent spokesperson for the fruity computer company
