Mac describes how he enjoys doing &#8216;fun stuff&#8217; such as podcasts and movies, leading PC to claim that he also does &#8220;fun stuff&#8221; such as timesheets, spreadsheets and pie charts. After Mac responds that it is difficult to capture a family vacation using a pie chart, PC rebuts by showing a pie chart representing &#8220;hangout time&#8221; and &#8220;just kicking it&#8221; with different shades of gray.</span></a><span style="font-family: geneva,arial; color: #000000; font-size: small;"><br />

Right after PC introduces himself, the Mac character replies, &#8220;And I&#8217;m a PC too&#8221;. Mac explains to the confused PC that he can run both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows, calling himself &#8220;the only computer you&#8217;ll ever need.&#8221; PC mutters, &#8220;Oh&#8230;touché.&#8221; The Mac character, referring to the rules of fencing, explains that one only says &#8220;touché&#8221; after he or she makes a point and someone else makes a counterpoint, but the PC character continues to misuse the word. A similar conversation occurred in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, a film which Justin Long (Mac) appeared in.</span></a><span style="font-family: geneva,arial; color: #000000; font-size: small;"><br />

Mac (in a white box) and PC (in a brown box doing some exercises) are in boxes discussing what they will do when they are unpacked. Whereas Mac says that he can get started right away, PC is held up by the numerous activities he must complete before being useful. Mac eventually leaves to get right to work, whereas PC is forced to wait for parts that are still in other boxes.<br />

PC, in an attempt to hide from spyware, is wearing a trench coat with dark glasses and a false mustache. PC offers Mac a disguise, but Mac declines, saying he doesn&#8217;t have to worry about the normal PC spyware and viruses with Mac OS X.<br />

Mac gives PC an iPhoto book to view. Suddenly, angel and devil versions of PC appear behind him. The angel encourages PC to compliment Mac, while the devil prods PC to destroy the book.

A wheelchair-bound PC, who is wearing casts on his arms, explains that he fell off his desk when someone tripped over his power cord, thus prompting Mac to point out that the MacBook&#8217;s and MacBook Pro&#8217;s magnetic power cord prevents such an occurrence.<br />

PC and Mac discuss making home movies, and show each other their efforts.

Mac, for once, is wearing a suit, and explains that he &#8220;does work stuff too&#8221; and has been running Microsoft Office for years. Upon hearing this, PC becomes despondent and collapses on the floor, begging to be left alone to depreciate.<br />

PC and Mac visit a counselor to resolve their differences. However, while Mac finds it easy to compliment PC (&#8220;you are a wizard with numbers and you dress like a gentleman&#8221;), PC&#8217;s resentment is too deep for him to reciprocate (&#8220;I guess you are better at creating stuff, even though it&#8217;s completely juvenile and a waste of time.&#8221;). The counselor suggests them coming in twice a week.</span></a><span style="font-family: geneva,arial; color: #000000; font-size: small;"><br />

PC, looking haggard and covered in stickers, complains about the kids who use him and their activities, such as making movies and blogging, which are wearing him out and makes him &#8220;cry to sleep mode.&#8221; He complains that, unlike Mac, he is meant more for office work. PC then trudges off because his user wants to listen to some Emo (represented by the Anarchy sign on his back).</span></a><span style="font-family: geneva,arial; color: #000000; font-size: small;"><br />

Although Mac introduces himself as usual, PC says &#8220;&#8230; and buy a PC.&#8221; He explains that Mac&#8217;s increasing popularity is forcing him to be more forward in his self-promotion, and is reduced to holding up red signs with various pitches on them.<br />

Mac is reading a favourable review of himself by Walt Mossberg in the Wall Street Journal.

In this advert, PC is present, but a different actor appears in Mac&#8217;s place, obviously reciting poorly memorized lines to flatter PC. The real Mac arrives soon after, and while PC sheepishly denies anything is happening, &#8216;impostor&#8217; Mac tells &#8216;real&#8217; Mac that he&#8217;s &#8220;a big fan.&#8221;<br />

Mac then replies that buying a computer is in fact &#8220;really easy,&#8221; explaining that at Apple Stores there are &#8220;personal shoppers&#8221; to help you find the perfect Mac.

A referee is present, according to PC, to make sure that Mac doesn&#8217;t go on saying that Leopard is better and faster than Vista. When Mac defends himself saying that it was The Wall Street Journal who compared the two, PC complains, and the referee sides with Mac. Upon insulting the referee, PC gets ejected, but PC rebuts, saying that he has nowhere to go (in the ad&#8217;s area).</span></a><span style="font-family: geneva,arial; color: #000000; font-size: small;"><br />

In the typical introduction of Mac and PC, instead of there being one Mac, there is a line of 10. PC is shocked, so the various Macs explain that it is simply &#8220;Time Machine,&#8221; a feature in Leopard which makes regular backups of the hard drive. PC is forced to admit that such a feature is &#8220;pretty awesome,&#8221; followed by thanks from the various Macs.<br />

<p><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6SCc6A6Kck">PC Choice Chat</a></strong>—PC has his own radio talk show called PC Choice Chat, and people begin to call in asking for advice on which computer to get. All the callers ask for advice on a computer that would qualify as a Mac but not a PC, as one caller asks for a computer that is for people who hate getting viruses. One other caller asks for PC help like Mac genius, and another wants to switch to Mac. PC ignores these calls.</p>

PC then has a short montage of endless automated customer-support messages, never reaching a real person, which is not to PC&#8217;s liking, and he then says that his source of help is &#8216;the same&#8217; as Mac Genius.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM649iQ0ass">Surprise</a></strong>—Mac appears alongside a customer (Andree Vermeulen), with PC notably absent. The customer says she&#8217;s looking to buy a great computer. Mac tries to convince her that she should get a PC, telling her that they&#8217;re much better and more stable. The customer seems skeptical, tells Mac she&#8217;ll &#8220;think about it&#8221;, and leaves. A frustrated Mac pulls off a mask and his clothes, revealing himself to be PC in disguise. The real Mac then appears, sees PC&#8217;s discarded mask and clothes, and says &#8220;I don&#8217;t even wanna ask.&#8221;</p>

PC introduces her to the &#8220;top of the line&#8221; PC (Patrick Warburton), a handsome and overly slick PC in a suit. She asks him about screen size and speed, to which Top of the Line says he&#8217;s the best, but he then balks when she says she doesn&#8217;t want to deal with any viruses or hassle. She decides to go with Mac, so Top of the Line hands her his business card and tells her to give him a call &#8220;when she&#8217;s ready to compromise.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh1O0piBDm0">Trainer</a></strong>—The commercial starts off traditionally, but PC is doing sit-ups with a trainer in a striped shirt (Robert Loggia), saying fierce things to make PC improved. PC suggests the trainer try some &#8216;positive reinforcement&#8217;, and is a little angry and shocked when the trainer compliments Mac instead.</p>

Mac tries to speak, but PC cuts him off, showing another PC who apparently has cupholders on his shoulders. The cupholders are full of foam coffee cups, and PC takes a full coffee cup, pretending to toast the cup and saying, &#8220;Cheers to innovation&#8221;.</p>

However, Mac feels like he heard this before, and has a series of flashbacks about PC assuring Mac about Windows Vista, XP, Me, 98, 95, and 2.0. On the last flashback, he says &#8220;Trust me.&#8221; Back in the present, he says this time it&#8217;s going to be different, then says &#8220;Trust me.&#8221; in an almost identical way to the flashback.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiU1Gu14xG0">PC News</a></strong>—PC is sitting at a news desk and turns it over to a correspondent at what seems to be a launch party for Windows 7 until a person being interviewed reveals that he is switching to a Mac. PC is surprised by this and asks why, and more people speak of how Mac is #1 with customer satisfaction and PC finally says to cut the feed. This is one of two commercials where Mac and PC acknowledge that they are in a commercial. PC: &#8220;Let&#8217;s go to a commercial.&#8221; Mac: &#8220;We are a commercial&#8221;. PC: &#8220;Let&#8217;s go to another commercial&#8221;.</p>

Tree Trimming</a></strong> &#8211; A holiday animated Get a Mac commercial. Mac and PC set aside their disagreements and decide to trim a Christmas tree by hanging ornaments and stringing lights. Mac tells PC that they are good friends while PC gets nervous. When they are finished, PC does not want to light the lights on the tree. Mac persuades him to do so. PC plugs the trees lights in and they light up and say: &#8220;PC RULES&#8221;. He apologies to Mac and says that it just sort of happened. The animation is like the Get a Mac Santa Claus ad in Rankin/Bass clay animation style.</p>

I Can Do Anything</a></strong> – A holiday animated Get a Mac commercial. PC asks Mac why he loves the holidays so much. Mac says it is the season for Peace on Earth. PC says that they get to be animated and they can do anything. PC demonstrates by floating in the air, building a snowman in fast motion, and talking to animals. PC asks a bunny hopping by where he is going. The bunny replies by saying he&#8217;s going to the Apple Store for some last minute gifts. PC then purposely tips the snowman&#8217;s head off making it fall on the bunny and apologies. The animation is like the Get a Mac Santa Claus ad in Rankin/Bass clay animation style.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-89ZYz6QK8s"><br />
Time Traveler</a></strong> – PC uses a time machine to travel to the year 2150 to see if any major issues (such as freezing and crashing) have been removed from the PC and to see if PCs are as &#8216;hassle-free&#8217; as Macs. Promptly after PC arrives at 2150, future PC literally freezes which &#8220;answered that question&#8221;.</p>

Stacks</a></strong> – PC is searching through all of his pictures, trying to find a photograph of his friend. PC is searching one picture at a time, but Mac states that iPhoto has a feature called Faces, in which you tag the face of a person and iPhoto finds other pictures of the same person, putting them all into the same folder and saving search time. PC responds to the facial recognition technology as expensive, and tells Mac to sort the pictures instead because he has the technology to make it easier.</p>

He finally states that &#8216;PCs are now 100% trouble-free&#8217;, and the legal copy covers the whole screen.</p>

Biohazard Suit</a></strong> – PC first appears wearing a biohazard suit to protect himself from PC viruses and malware, which PC says there are 20,000 discovered everyday. Mac asks PC if he is going to live the suit for the rest of his life, and PC cannot hear him because he is too protected by his &#8216;virus-proof mask&#8217;, and takes it off. PC then shrieks and struggles to place it on again.</p>
