Microsoft finally debuted its much hyped commercial that pairs Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld in what can only be referred to as a strange and confusing spot. Check out the long version below.
So what do you think? Notice there was no mention of Windows Vista at all. Notice there wasn’t much mention of anything at all? What message are we supposed to walk away from this ad with? Bill Gates is cheap? Jerry Seinfeld likes churros? Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld shop at the mall like the rest of us minions of society?
The commercial isn’t particularly funny and the messages are useless in terms of helping the Microsoft brand image. Again – strange and confusing.
Your thoughts?
