Laptop Hunters: Homeless Frank

April 18, 2009 by Michael Szumielewski

Finally a spoof on the new Microsoft “Laptop Hunters” commercials: Homeless Frank by LandlineTV. You find it, you keep it!

As Homeless Frank, the star of this commercial, isn’t allowed to buy an Apple laptop, he is outraged: “I’m poor, but I’m not retarded. Alright? These computers suck!”

Then he looks at some Windows PCs and says “Windows Vista Home Premium? This is bullshit!” Frank goes on to ask, “is this plastic?” while picking up one of the other PCs. Besides Windows Vista and plastic, he also discovers anti-virus software and is not at all amused.

All in all, very funny and nearer to the truth than Microsoft’s ads. Apple should do a commercial with the Mac and PC guys themselves as a response. It would rock a thousand times harder than the actual lame Microsoft Laptop Hunters ads.

Get a Mac!
