Microsoft's 'Laptop Hunters' Ads Get Hilarious 'Jennie' Spoof

by Warren Riddle on May 20, 2009 at 05:23 PM


If you watch television, you've undoubtedly been subjected to the "I'm a Mac" ads, and Microsoft's retaliating blitz of "Laptop Hunters" promo spots -- which seek to depict ordinary consumers searching for economically friendly computers to fit specific needs. You're probably already sick of them, what with their cutesy approach and MTV-style editing and videography.

Although profane (hence the Not Suitable For Work disclaimer), this spoof lampoons the increasingly annoying ads and the "everyday citizens" they supposedly represent. Since the vid is from Funny or Die, if you find it offensive or not humorous -- or you're a Microsoft employee -- you can indicate your displeasure by voting to let it "die."
