The Bizarre World of Microsoft Ads

Microsoft: “How do you do, fellow kids?”

The trailer for Windows XP's slogan "Where will you fly?" was changed after 9-11.

[@KevinMcScrooge]

Nice.

[@akwardturtleee]

It's called 9/11

[@CocoTheMii]

It’s actually “Prepare to fly.”

Never mind SkyNet. A future controlled by Microsoft Bob and Clippy is way scarier! ;-)

[@MontieMongoose]

Microsoft got a labeled as not cool by those stupid Mac ads. But back in the day Microsoft really was hip. :)

[@Clay3613]

Apple fans are the most cultish hardware/software enthusiasts ever.

[@CommodoreFan64]

I'm not the biggest MS fan these days, but back in the 90's they they really where at least trying to be hip, and I won't even get into most Apple fans who act like no matter what they do it's the best thing since invention of the GUI.

[@glowingone1774]

@Bas Bakker why not just use GNU/linux use cli as much as possible then use gui for other things

The nearest alternative was to pay for and accept a micro-softie product, which is unethical and greedy. I chose illegal.

Ah yes, the office 2010 movie trailer. I saw it multiple times on some old office blog, and had been wondering what it was ever since.

[@wordart_guian]

Oh and, who can tell me more about the backstory of the vidéo of Gates and Ballmer dancing in a car?

[@rogehmarbi]

The only Microsoft ad that I remember is the commercial for Windows 1.0, with Ballmer speaking and shouting like a maniac, and ends with that "except in nebraska"

[@sayanmalakar8438]

This is the single greatest thing that I've watched in 2019. Thanks a lot!! Without you I may never have found these.

Ever since I saw this video when it released, and ever since the "Windows/386" and 'Gimmie 5" raps pop into my head every once in a while.

[@spacepan]

I've loved the Windows 386 one since I was young, so happy to hear about others

[@MasterGeekMX]

Don't forget Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer paroding the volkswagen "da da da" ad and "Night at the Roxbury" clips, the japansese commercial of a governor screaming "WINDOWS!" at a dinner, Windows 98 tour with Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry, and even Apple with the "Computer Man" parody of John Scatman's "I'm the scatman"

[@CommodoreFan64]

Don't forget Bill promoting Windows 95 gaming with Doom, or the time he did a Coke commercial going around asking if anyone had some change because was working late, and forgot his wallet, or the one he did called Bill Gates last day at Microsoft where he still drove a shitbox of a car into work.

[@akwardturtleee]

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000: Introduction is a nice MEME.

[@wordart_guian]

the "hey, that would be cool" one?

[@LikaLaruku]

Director: "We need a commercial that will appeal to hip moms & secretaries & make them buy Windows." Director''s wife: "Leave everything to me!"

[@2312uri]

I want one of these commercials for every Windows 10 update

[@davidmadsen9737]

"Give me 5... Upgrade to MS DOS 5... make your DOS Applications come alive"

[@Trans_SovietBee]

To imagine that if Microsoft did those ads today, people would ironically or unironically contribute to the Microsoft opening their own record label

[@joshface04]

Steve Ballmer dancing and screaming on stage should make the list for another video.

[@MaximNightFury]

Swapped away from my Netflix binge just to watch this

[@BionicTenshi96]

The BTTF one was my favourite, as a lover of the trilogy it couldn't have been otherwise. You forgot the most important one: Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer doing the Night at the Roxbury headbang :v

[@joemiller947]

"Probably already seen most of these, whatever, It should still be a good video" *8 minutes later* "What the fuck is happening?!"

[@lpnp9477]

I feel personally attacked every time a Microsoft commercial refers to Clippit as Clippy.

[@beagletv6054]

Not a commercial, but "Bill Gates' last day at Microsoft" is also pretty funny.

[@CommodoreFan64]

That one was good, and don't forget the Coke ad Bill did where he was working late, forgot his wallet, and was looking for anyone with some spare change for the Coke machine as that one was good as well. Funny thing is in reality is they did not even have Coke machines in the MS buildings at the time, just cases, and cases of free Coke products for the employees in the break rooms.

[@fjuvo]

I miss Clippy 😭😭😭

[@Imthecoolguy6]

how much weirdness do you want? Bill Gates: Yes.

[@peoplereplacedwithrobots8080]

I remember an infamous Microsoft tv ad with the copy «thank god, it's Monday», or words to that effect. It showed people who couldn't wait to get back to their offices on Monday. It was hilarious and caused quite the consumer outrage. But I can't seem to find anything about it...

[@LloydLynx]

These ads are the best thing to come out of Microsoft.

[@theactualTVB]

4:07 *TOP 10 RAPPERS EMINEM WAS TOO AFRAID TO DISS TOWARDS* Old jokes aside, that rap video was godly.

[@Skyliner_369]

very "fellow kids" but in the way you know they're doing it because it's memorable and hilarious.

Great video, btw the dos 5 add reminds me alot of how sesame street animated back then. Kinda funny lol

My friend Clippy isn't dead! I still talk to him, we talk about how great it would be if Microsoft would let us assist again sometimes. How far into the future is that movie supposed to be?? 😂

[@CoTeCiOtm]

There is a Windows video that starred Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston during the heyday of Friends, which is absolutely bizarre as well.

[@seanc.5310]

Lol! I have a VHS copy of the Microsoft/386 ad from a trade show I went to with my Dad and thought it was cool to take as much free crap as possible

[@iamapie13]

you should do something with the silence spaces on your audio (even if it's just room noise), it'll make for a better headphone experience

[@ButchLising]

My god. 404 views. That's why this video can't be found! And that thumbnail is... great!

[@CatFace8885]

Are we not gonna talk about the ad where Steve Ballmer is promoting Windows 1.0, while acting he's on cocaine?

[@CommodoreFan64]

That one is just about the most well known, and having seen Ballme on stage over the years the dude is just insane in general.

[@LaskyLabs]

Instead of cutting out the mic when you're not talking, try filtering out the background noise instead. It's really noticeable on my speakers

[@citrux2638]

Why didn’t you include the ad for windows 1

[@JanuszKrysztofiak]

Perhaps Windows 2/286 'commercial' was for internal entertainment at MS, whereas the MS-DOS 5 one was a genuine ad.

[@bottinator22]

did Microsoft buy Back To The Future or something
