About the only comedians who are as funny are Jay Leno, Jim Gaffigan, Jeff Foxworthy, and Don Rickles.  The man is hysterical, and he isn't raunchy.<br><br>That said, while the Microsoft commercial was very funny, I had no clue as to what product was being pitched, until Jerry and Bill walked out of the shoe store.  Even then, I didn't understand why, after seeing the commericals, I should run out and buy Microsoft software.<br><br>Jerry's commercials for Amex were much better, because they offered reasons why an Amex card could be useful.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kent]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2008 9:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/09/18/microsofts-new-ads-seinfeld-and-gates-out-hodgman-lookalike-i/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/09/18/microsofts-new-ads-seinfeld-and-gates-out-hodgman-lookalike-i/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you need a comedian to make your product look better, it was probably a joke to begin with...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[knight]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2008 10:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/09/18/microsofts-new-ads-seinfeld-and-gates-out-hodgman-lookalike-i/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/09/18/microsofts-new-ads-seinfeld-and-gates-out-hodgman-lookalike-i/</guid><description><![CDATA[I thought the ad was funny.

It's the new interface on the "2007" products that suck. Can't find what I've been using for 20+ years!!! Why did Microsoft change a very workable GUI? Answer: Because they think they own the software world, and what they say goes. So there!!!<br>I will never again buy Microsoft until they go back to the old GUI.<br>-Menooks]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael Menaker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2008 11:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/09/18/microsofts-new-ads-seinfeld-and-gates-out-hodgman-lookalike-i/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/09/18/microsofts-new-ads-seinfeld-and-gates-out-hodgman-lookalike-i/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't like Seinfeld; not funny.

Hodgman himself is symbolizing Bill Gates, so did they get his permission? Maybe so, because Gates is probably laughing at all the comparisons. Also, the Apple ads are ridiculous and an insult to one's intelligence, although that last one where he does the test pattern is quite funny. But in not one of the ads does Apple say what they're computer actually does, only that it's somehow better than Microsoft. Vista works fine, there's nothing wrong with it, and Apple continues to produced computers for which there's no software written for it. Maybe Jobs should look into rectifying that problem.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 19th 2008 3:02AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
