That kid is on the show Better Things on FX. She plays Frankie. All the chicks have guys names. So there's that!

I've seen that commercial with a few different people and every one of them commented on how irritating it is. Apple definitely missed the mark with this one.

What sort of group did they test the commercial on because it has me changing the channel.

That and that zypah crap on satellite radio are the worst.

Every time that commercial comes on I respond with, “What’s a retard?”

I know absolutely no one who doesn't at the very least roll their eyes at that commercial.

What makes marketers think that irritating people and making them scoff and curse at the TV will sell anything? I don't buy into the whole "It made you notice" argument. I will be far more likely to purposefully NOT buy a product if the commercial irritates me.

Every Internet forum has threads hating this commercial.

Literally no one likes it. I don’t understand Apple’s thoughts on this one

Actually, the commercial is likely the a lie. I would guess that the kid in question does know what a computer is. Translation: dumb commercial

Then the commercial is doing its job. As someone that has Apple in their portfolio, I would like to thank Tbird for starting this thread.

Thanks baw.

Either they found one of the few black women in the world willing to take mess off a little twerp......or they cut the commercial off before she sent some random household item plunking off the kid's noggin

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one triggered by it. I wanna take that iPad and smack her with it when she smugly replies, "What's a computer?" Go draw some more damn bugs you future Starbucks barista with a master's in the history of ethnic women's interpretive dance.

Probably not.

Most likely droid users with shitty Windows 10 amd shittier Asus laptops.
