Seriously, what kind of nitwits are handling the Microsoft advertising account? First there was the Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates ads fuck up (three filmed, two shown, $10 million spent (on Seinfeld alone), more people laughing at Jerry than in the entire rest of his career), then the cringe-worthy "I'm a PC" ads (riffing off Apple and thus implicitly admitting that company's superiority) and now this...

Jerry Seinfeld is stuck in a bit of a legal mess (and it's not the first time ). He and his wife have been sued by cookbook author Missy Chase Lapine, who claims that Jessica Seinfeld plagiarized her recipes for the best-selling Deceptively Delicious Cookbook . Deceptive, indeed. Then Jerry went on David Letterman and made jokes about Ms. Lapine, comparing her "to 'wackos' who had stalked Letterman....

Microsoft recently suspended an ad campaign featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld because no one liked it and it failed to make them look cool. (I love ya, Jerry, but since when does Jerry Seinfeld make anything look cool') I'm sure they spent a bajillion dollars on it, and it doesn't come close to the awesomeness of this Dirt Cheap commercial. The message is simple. The "actors" in it (and I use...

I’m a PC! Well I use a Windows PC anyway. After seeing Microsoft’s first couple of “funny TV commercials” starring the “comedic” double-act of Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld in which in true Seinfeld-style, they appeared to be ‘adverts about nothing’, you may have been scratching your head about all the potential hidden meanings! However, [...]

We were among those who were quite surprised that Microsoft gave into the online criticism of its "buddy" ads starring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates. As we noted, the ads were getting a ton of people talking, and set up plenty of opportunities to later plug Microsoft products. But, initially, they were just entertaining (if slightly awkward) content that did a good job bringing in viewers. Instead,...

The theme of the abbreviated (thanks to the writer's strike) season seems to be Guest Stars and More of Them. Almost every episode found another big name showing up in the building. Jerry Seinfeld, Falco, David Schwimmer, Will Arnett, Carrie Fisher, Buck Henry, Tim Conway, Elaine Stritch, Steve Buscemi, and Matthew Broderick all appear.

-- Microsoft's Seinfeld ads are a viral hit : While two ads featuring the odd couple of Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates were widely panned, online video tracker Visible Measures says the spots are soundly beating the software giant's new "I'm A PC" ads by a margin of 4.3 million viral video views. Of course, Jerry/Bill had a head start. But after two weeks, Visible Measures says, those ads were still...
