Get a Mac Commercial (23): “Security”
“Security”, the now 23rd installment of the Get A Mac ad campaign, is one of the funniest and most PC-critical of the bunch – featuring Mac, PC and a secret service-esque security guard character, looking watchfully over PC. “Hello, I’m a Mac” beams Mac in his usual manner. PC, about to respond with his hello, [...]
Get a Mac Commercial (22): “Tech Support”
“Tech Support”, the third Get a Mac ad of ’07, depicts a technician attempting to install a webcam on our old pal PC. The salutations begin with the regular “Hi, I’m a Mac.” “And I’m a PC.” and are joined by a third, “Hi, I’m an IT guy.”, with said IT guy standing right next [...]
Get a Mac Commercial (21): “Surgery”
In the second Get a Mac commercial of 2007, the Mac versus PC battle enters into the Windows Vista argument, by depicting PC in a hospital gown, apparently prepping himself for the operating system switch/surgery.

Get a Mac Commercial (20): “Sabotage”
The Mac versus PC is off to the races yet again in this, the 20th installment of the Get a Mac commercial campaign – and the first of 2007.

Get a Mac Commercial (18): “Sales Pitch”
No one likes a salesman. Unfortunately, no one let PC in on this little fact. PC now seems to be hip to what Mac is trying to do – finally – in this, the 18th ad in the Get A Mac series of 2006. “Hi, I’m a Mac,” says Mac as always. “And buy a [...]
Get a Mac Commercial (17): “Meant for Work”
PC looks pretty worn out and haggard in this, the 17th Mac versus PC commercial. Covered in stickers, with his hair tousled, it would appear that poor PC, a machine meant for balancing checkbooks and “work”, isn’t quite up to the task younger owners are asking of him – namely, doing the fun stuff, like [...]
Get a Mac Commercial (16): “Gift Exchange”

Get a Mac Commercial (15): “Self-Pity”
“Self-Pity”, the 15th of the 2006 Get A Mac ad campaign chronicles PC’s descent into madness as the PC versus Mac battle heats up where PC tends to excel (pardon the pun) – in the office. The ad opens with PC wearing his usual stuffy office worker garb and Mac beside him in a sharp, [...]
Get a Mac Commercial (14): “Counselor”
In “Counselor”, the Mac versus PC ad that debuted in October 2006, Mac and PC sit side by side in front of the same stark white background as always, only now, they’re facing just slightly off to the left toward a female counselor. The script begins with both characters rattling off their identities (“I’m a [...]
