Apple is one company that acts like a virtual lighting rod when it comes to generating publicity. It really doesn't matter what it does, or what it doesn't do, it's every action, or lack there of, will elicit an outpouring of comment and analysis from the traditional main press to that of a million bloggers the world over. So, for this last post of the week, I thought that I would take a look at the funnier side of Apple, so go ahead and enjoy the funnier side of Apple via the world of YouTube.
My first take is a funny look about the not so funny state of Steve Job's health. It doesn't really matter if Steve, or anyone else for that matter, assures us that he is healthy, people for what ever reasons, will publish just about anything that they can use to prove that he is not. But as Macenstein recently pointed out, and as you can plainly see, the YouTube video below proves, absolutely beyond any reason of a doubt, that Steve is in fact as healthy as they come.
Also, sometime ago, you may have remember this video from YouTube of Steve and Bill battling it out with their iPhone and Zune light sabers - well, h...e...l...l...o....... now, not only can you view the video below again, you can now also play along as well, thanks to this post that I recently spotted on Gizmodo.
A lot of television shows like to do parodies on Apple and Steve Jobs and here we see a parody about Mac fan boys as Steve demos the iPhone. This brilliant YouTube video really shows off the wacky and creative genius of the Mad TV crew. Very well done.
Stephen Colbert is not one to shy away from making challenges as the next YouTube video shows. I don't know about you, but I think that Stephen looks even more handsome and charming as puppet in this clip then he doe's in person! But, then again, that's just my personal opinion on this clip of this wonderful and creative comedic genius.
Below, we have yet another Mad TV parody of Steve as he introduces the iRack, which is absolutely one of my favorite Mad TV sketches of all time. If you haven't already seen this comic bit of wackiness, then your in for a real treat. Even if you have, like me, I'm sure that you'll enjoy seeing it yet again, and again.
Mad TV and Stephen Collbert are not the only famous television shows to have done parodies on Apple and it's famous CEO. Below, we find yet find another parody of one of Apple's famous ads, this time from the David Letterman show. Enjoy.
Here we have a parody, below, of an Apple ad that has a protestant pitted against a Catholic. This YouTube video is entitled, 'iTruth,' and that's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about this funny clip. Enjoy.
And for you Star Wars fans, you can't afford to miss this next YouTube clip that features Han Solo explaining the differences between using one of the older Intel machines vs one of the older G4 Mac's. Quite funny.
Below we find an amusing parody of the famous Feist iPod TV ad. Here we see a Mad TV clip that has got to be one of the best that they have ever done! I just love it! Especially the catchy song and the rewritten lyrics... it's a hoot!
Here, in our last video, we find a funny South Park parody of a PC vs a Mac ad. This little gem is very well done.
If you still want even more on the funnier side of Apple, then I can heartedly recommend that you take a gander on over to the: Joy of Tech website. This entertaining site is very well done, the cartoons are nicely drawn, and the writing is very, very funny and well done as well. When it comes to Apple humor, no one does it better than the geeks at the Joy of Tech. Highly recommended.
And that's my 2 cents 4 this Friday, July 25 , 2008.
