I’m a Mac Now Long Shot
This could suck ass. The A.V. Club has an interview that they’ve done with Justin Long of the Apple I’m a Mac vs PC commercials. He talked about his work on various projects but the one that we are most worried about are the continuation of the “Hi I’m a Mac and I’m a PC” spots. I don’t know about you but they are quite possibly, besides some Superbowl commercials, the only commercials I’ve ever sought out to find on Apples site to watch.
And I’ve watched all of them and I’ve watched all of them multiple times. John Hodgman makes the commercials but he couldn’t do it without Justin Long’s perfect straightman.
TL;DR: They might not continue.
AVC: what’s the status on those Apple commercials?
JL: You know, I think they might be done. In fact, I heard from John, I think they’re going to move on. I can’t say definitively, which is sad, because not only am I going to miss doing them, but also working with John. I’ve become very close with him, and he’s one of my dearest, greatest friends. It was so much fun to go do that job, because there’s not a lot to it for me. A lot of it is just keeping myself entertained between takes, and there’s no one I’d rather do it with than John.
