South Park is...

South Park notoriously uses parody to grab viewers' attention and the show's latest ad definitely grabbed mine. In the promo for the new season, South Park takes on the iPad commercials.

I'm usually a lover of all things Apple, but some of the company's more recent advertisements feel too cutesy. Like this one. I'd take the dancing silhouette commercials back any day over these. 

The iPad ads aren't quite as cheesy, but this spoof made me laugh anyway:

  1. I really like these ads, they made me genuinely laugh. I like Apple but I also like when people make fun of Apple - there's a certain level of pretentiousness that makes them irritating to me. Nice post!

  2. I love when South Park makes fun of Apple! Even though I'm a huge Apple fan, South Park usually pokes fun at what everyone else is really thinking. I read that the next new South Park is all about making fun of the Jersey Shore.. should be hilarious.
