Machintosh Ad 1984

This is the original machintosh ad from 1984. I have no idea what possessed them to come up with it but it becomes very funny once you see the futurama parody of it. If anyone knows what that ad is based off then please tell me.


To watch the futurama parody press play

b00f - you never fail to surprise us... so in what way oh wise one (other than the name) is it relatable to G.O's 1984? Just wondering?? I like to know 'stuff'

lol, that was good.

and i agree with b00f, it is so obviously relating to the book 1984

if you have read it you will understand

and the slogan proves it

yep, its definitley a George Orwell reference...
not really a spoof tho, more like a "homage"..
albeit, a really, really bad one...
