The show Seinfeld starting out a bit rough, the characters needed to mesh together and the show in the beginning was too much stand up routine rather than creating situations where the characters got involved in ridiculous scenarios. This ad looks more like a rough draft, not polished and needs a lot of work. Don’t think this will challenge the Apple ads. I think there’s potential though, but more tinkering is needed. I just like Gates and Jerry in an ad together. They need Larry David to add some clever and funny angles to it. You know, a bit more Curb Your Enthusiasm. How much is Jerry getting paid, try $10 million per ad. Take a look.
