Apple Posts Two Will Ferrell Parody Switch Ads, TMO Rounds Up Other Switch Parodies

by , 9:00 AM EST, November 26th, 2002

You either like Apple's Switch ads or you don't, there doesn't seem to be a lot of middle ground. Lucky for Apple more people like the ads than not, but no matter how you feel about Apple's ads you can't help but snicker at some of the parodies that are popping up all over the Net.

Even Apple has apparently chuckled over Saturday Night Live alumnus Will Ferrell's poke at the Switch ads in which he plays an off-beat Santa. They are the first parodies featured on Apple's site. In one called "Santa and The Lawyers," Santa talks about some legal trouble over holiday terminology. In "Santa's iPod," Santa tells us what's on his iPod, as only Will Ferrell can. Who says Steve Jobs doesn't have a sense of humor?

Of course, there are other fun Switch parodies that we think are just as funny, check these out:

Check 'em out. If you know of any others, drop us a line.

The Mac Observer Spin:

The Will Ferrell parodies are outstanding, but many of other ads have also been very entertaining. Even the negative ads that have popped up are merely a testament to Apple's influence in popular culture. Apple just does not seem to be able to do anything without causing a stir. That's all good in our book.
