Microsoft Songsmith Video Ad

Body

So over-the-top cheesey and unlikely, I can’t even tell if this product — or this shockingly hilarious commercial — is real or not. Best line: “Microsoft, huh? So it’s pretty easy to use?” (at 1:55).

I think it’s a very effective video. It makes all the other Microsoft products look classy.

brilliant, had to share that around, thanks for posting.  Reminds me of the “Big Ass Table” spoof, though sadly it’s real.

Isn’t that a MacBook pro the girl is using?

It is. And the cheesey ‘anonymization’ adds another layer of hilarity to the ‘easy to use’ - awesomeness.

I really thought there was no way this was real and figured it had to be a spoof with a budget…  But it’s on the Microsoft site:

I still can’t get over the MacBook the girl is using, though. The stickers don’t even cover up the whole apple logo.

Are the makers of the commercial purposely trying to be cheesey? This is worse than most infommercials.
