Guys, guys, guys. It’s a commercial about nothing.

I’ll admit I was confused to begin with. The first one was a minute and a half long, and felt like a theatrical trailer for the worst movie ever. The second one, being almost five minutes, feels more like the first chapter of the fucking DVD.

But then I jokingly told my girlfriend, “maybe it’s a commercial about nothing.” And I realized, that’s exactly what it is.

That would be a cute reference to Seinfeld, the self-described “show about nothing”. Except Seinfeld was funny, thoughtful, and well-written. I don’t see those qualities here.

The only thing I don’t get is why everyone is so upset about a commercial for a computer company.
