Bill Gates Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft Ad

Posted: September 4, 2008

The first Microsoft ad featuring Jerry Seinfeld has been released, and features Bill Gates and a shoe store:

Like Gizmodo, I don’t get it. What’s a conversation over shoes got to do with Microsoft products? Too clever by half perhaps? what do you think?

    The ad is as clear and easy to understand as Vista. Case closed. Remember the Zune viral web ad featuring a flying one-eyed penis? (I am NOT joking) Like General Motors, Microsoft's national TV ads always seem counter productive.

    I like how they managed to throw in some condescending footage about how poor Mexican immigrants are.

    In college I served Bill Gates & his wife (cheap) pizza a couple of times — got a $2 tip both times!

    I noticed that, I'm surprised no one has called racism on that yet.
