Maybe it's because it's Friday and the "hip factor" part of my brain is turned off, but I just watched the new Microsoft ad featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld (see below).
Can someone explain the humor in this ad? Is this supposed to make me forget about Windows Vista? Is this supposed to stop me from buying a Mac? Or is this supposed to make me want to buy shoes? Remind me again how much Microsoft paid Jerry Seinfeld to do these ads?

Wow, that sucks even more
Wow, that sucks even more than Microsoft.
That comment is funnier
... than anything in the video.
I liked it. Shoe shopping
I liked it. Shoe shopping anyone? And helloo-oo! Who wouldn't want a computer made of cake?
Really though, I have no idea what they were trying to say.
Looks like a multi-part commercial
On its own, the commercial is dumb and ambiguous. I can only imagine that there will be follow-ups which will eventually start adding up and make sense.
It's just a commercial about nothing...
Just like the TV show, so that makes it funny. I guess.
or not funny. Is not funny
or not funny. Is not funny cool?
please
Please save us from the overanalysis that pretends you don't understand. It's a little silly - sets a tone that Microsoft is trying to set that is different from before. It is a freakin commercial, not a Coppola film.
It only shows that Bill is
It only shows that Bill is ready for big Vista fail with such shoes.
bill gates and jerry
That was a major WHAT??
