A lot of people are saying it makes no sense, and that's it's not funny. I have to completely disagree. The tone is subtle, but once you get it. It's gold.

I found some of it funny. Better than the mac attack ads, those are just annoying, and have been for the last 2 years. Get something new mac. ==

I have to say, I'm a huge fan of adverts that don't advertise.
No I'm never serious.

for those that don't get it: remember you just watched a microsoft commercial

ie it's always buggy on the first attempt!! the next time you're watching something on youtube, this commercial will prompt you to update to a better version, and that commercial will be actually kind of funny

I guess that's supposed to be wacky and random, doesn't really do anything for me, it's also way too long.

That and I think Seinfeld is a terrible comedian.

Well regardless of whether people get it or not, or if there is something to get, it worked.
People are talking about it.
Thus, it is win.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

great commercial

if you don't get it: Seinfeld was a show that was essentially about nothing, without jokes and punchlines, just nothing. This is a microsoft ad featuring jerry seinfeld that is about absolutely nothing, no microsoft stuff, no spoken punchlines, just a bunch of shit that's really funny if you catch it (like why the fuck is bill gates shopping in a discount shoe store?)

if you were a fan of seinfeld, this commercial is really funny. if you never watched seinfeld, it's gonna go over your head
