Though the ads were iconic, I found John Hodgman as PC a much more likable character.
that’s counter-intuitive — PC was acted with many obvious personality shortcomings. He was more comical however, due to them.
Commercial is not memorable.
Lots of people criticized Mac for being snarky, which was somewhat true at first. But that impression persisted long after PC had proven himself to be an enormously clueless and egotistical douchebag, in bits where Mac was written as trying to be helpful to his incompetent friend.
It may be that I just like John Hodgman more–he is a funny guy. I found it ironic that Apple offered his audiobook “Areas of My Expertise” free for several days through iTunes.
…and a Chinese company, no less.
Those emojis are memorable for their wretchedness.
Oh, I adore Hodgman. Which is why I again recommend that article, and the associated podcast interview with him and Justin Long. Hilarious. Hodgman’s description of how he got the Apple gig is both funny and sweet.
Boy’s gotta make a living.
