Russel Brand ad - And so it begins

JayhawkOne · 06/30/2011, 03:30 PM

As you all probably say on the home page, we have the Russel Brand ad out now!

HP webOS, Touchpad, Veer, Pre3

Like it, hate it? Will it make up for the 'meh' reviews?

pow12390 · 06/30/2011, 03:36 PM

Nice ad, short and to the point.

Weaser999 · 06/30/2011, 03:39 PM

That was friggin hilarious!!

did you see his facebook message? "Did you get sick on my couch?" Lol!!

so much better than those depressing creepy girl commercials.

noelb · 06/30/2011, 03:50 PM

Haha i like it!

FischOderAal · 06/30/2011, 03:54 PM

Even though I like this kind of british accent I don't quite like Russel Brand or his kind of humor. But this ad is very good

6tr6tr · 06/30/2011, 03:55 PM

Meh. The best writing they could come up with was to make fun of british teeth? What is this, 1988?

kyleoXD · 06/30/2011, 03:59 PM

LOLS! I liked that.

But to bad they couldn't get someone else to do the ad. Seriously Russel Brand. This guy is annoying.

avrfreaks · 06/30/2011, 04:04 PM

Kind of annoying that he picks it up and the hp logo is upside-down.

clevin · 06/30/2011, 04:09 PM

Put it on tv.

I hope they are actually going to air this more often and on more channels then the few times on The Daily Show and Colbert Report they did with the Pacquiao ones.

I'm also not a Russel Brand fan, but this ad does was it needs to do -- it shows what the product can do.

Who is Russel Brand?

Google him. Recently married some bird by the name of Katy Perry, or something like that.

Hilarious!

Thanks for posting!

ijip · 06/30/2011, 04:41 PM

so far i like the ad campaign millions times better than for the original pre~!!!

protofa · 06/30/2011, 04:47 PM

don't like the ad

good grief! why is apple so perfect?

Bullroarer Took · 06/30/2011, 04:52 PM

I didn't think I'd like it, but I really did.

Will it make up for the reviews? For a lot of people it will, but not for me.

Apple used to do ads like this all the time. They weren't always smuggy.

TreoRock · 06/30/2011, 07:32 PM

It made me laugh! Seriously, I like all the new HP ads.
