ZunePhone ad packs a flurry of MS jabs
So maybe it’s like fish in a barrel, but there are still good chuckles to be had from this parody ad for the fictitious ZunePhone. The sheer quantity of digs on Microsoft is impressive, although it’s the blinking “12:00” that makes me laugh every time. Despite featuring a hand that looks like it’s from a 1992 video game, this is probably the best of the many ZunePhone ads that have been made since the iPhone’s debut. That said, I still enjoy the one featuring a breathless Steve Ballmer impersonator yelling that the ZunePhone comes standard with “all these features and Reversi!”
