Anyone who's watched the latest series of iPhone ads knows that the people simply appear on screen and speak with no prompting. But just what were all these fine folks really being asked, anyway? We've taken the liberty to fill in the gaps, so hit the jump for the exclusive, re-cut and uncensored versions of Apple's newest iPhone spots—and see what happens when Apple stops being polite, and starts getting real.
We just knew these "common people" were total sickos.

There should've been bad 70's porn music for the last one. Other than that as my my friend Tony the Tiger would say....they're grrreat
hahaha love the second one
Not funny.
sorry, but you have it coming with this post.... meh.
the first one is pretty incoherent, but the second one is funny.
Must be a very slow day.
I phone is cool looking but I would not but stuff from crapple anymore, too evil
Mediocre at best.. Thats what i was thinking when i saw them anyway..
LAME..
really... not funny... i laugh more watching my poop flush... i guess thats a unfair comparison...
I don't know what yall are talking about the first one was hilarious.
So basically, you're sucking Apple's balls (again), but without the wit.
Bad news day indeed.
@freeway8989: How does a parody suck Apple's balls? You'd think it'd be seen as more against the company, ne?
"I used to have to carry one phone for calls, and one for texting and email."
I hate that man with every fiber of my being.
@Reilao: I think he meant Gizmodo is sucking Apple's Balls again..
@wicka_wicka:
Why's that? I've seen plenty of people who carry around two. Do they absolutely HAVE to? Probably not. Then again, do you absolutely HAVE to have a cell phone?
If someone saying something like that makes you hate that someone with every fiber of your sorry ass being, you've got problems.
yeh that was a waste of time.
hhhmmmm...... I still think this is the best ad [www.zakeen.com]
This deserves a heh.
Definitely not funny.
Yeesh, lighten up people!
i guess in this case Pervy = lame, not funny, badly edited and one more reason why I hate those brainless,terribly directed and horribly casted apple commercials.
but Im not bitter about it. :P
@Dearhaw: Because he is trying to justify the iPhone by saying, for some incredibly illogical reason, the phone he used for texting and emails was not good enough to answer calls on. Not only that, but Apple decided that that was a valid argument and made a commercial out of it.
He also says, "I just get up, grab my iPhone, hop in my car and go," oddly forgetting his keys.
So there are other reason to dislike him.
I can't decide which one I like more because all 3 are equally lame.
@wicka_wicka: because he also forgets his wallet?
@freeway8989:
Hehe you are so Applephobic you think Giz is sucking Apple's balls even when they are making fun of them.
@archipod: I'm not sure lightening-up is really going to make these any more funny, unfortunately.
Funny like when you posted Tubgirl on Kotaku, oh wait...yeah, still applies.
this site really sucks
If I want bad comedy, I'll watch Saturday Night Live. Please stick to blogging, Gizmodo. If you want to produce parody videos just toss them up on YouTube and see if they stick.
After viewing the three vids and then going back to the front page, I just noticed the toilet seat image.
Foreshadowing like no other.
Bring back Ellen Feiss.
It just goes to show you can't polish or paint a turd. No offense to the process of elimination.
The ballet-dancer-lady is pretty cute.
Other than that, meh. Not so funny.
oh, and definitely, Ellen Feiss for prez!
Wow, so much hatred for something that's supposed to be something just to kill a total of 60 seconds. Lighten up people.....the real-life PC vs Mac commercial continues....
these apple commercials really bug the heck out of me (not these specific parodies, but the real ones). they have brain dead people talking about random gibberish. Does someone really have say a blackberry to text and email and then another phone for voice calls? come on... I have two cell phones, but one is for work and one is personal. they both do text messaging and voice (surprise).
anyway, apple likes to rip off all sorts of stuff for their ads, and this one is a big rip off of the Radio Shack holiday commercials for the past year or two.
worst gizmodo post ever
One post making fun of apple and thats what happens, I thought the second one was the funniest. I'll give apple fans credit you do fight so hard when pc people don't care.
@Frigg:
It's all in the subtly.
It may be a parody, but they are mentioning the product for the thousandth time. That = sucking balls
Can't we just keep it out of our minds for even one day?
It was better to post the Spider kid who saved the little girl form the fire, in Brazil.
i love the last one: the multitask ballet dance~
The second one was quite funny haha
the second one is the best. But yeah these ads have AT&T all over them cause the suck, ads made by apple are never this bad.
That was fucking lame. Giz, you continue to disappoint me. What the hell kind of post was that, anyway? Not a single one of those was witty or funny in any way.
Fail.
The second one was great. That guy is a f@#king meathead.
And the last broad, well, it was slightly amusing, but at least she's cute, so that makes up for i t. A little.
Seriously Gawker should have an Apple specific blog, they would definitely be able to compete with the other ones out there, and Gadget sites like Gizmodo wouldn't have to concentrate as much on iEtc.
Just a suggestion, so don't jump on me MS/Apple fanboyz
The ads are UTTERLY lame!
I mean, they just showcase these people's inability to properly invest money in a phone that actually covers their losses optimally. (in terms of reliability and features)
stop advertising for SHAKES' FRUIT - COME ON
GO read this instead it's worth your bandwidth
[www.popsci.com]
They should do a parody of these ads showcasing the iPhone's lack of certain features. For example, "I took this great picture of my kids with my iPhone and I was going to send it to my mom as a MMS, but uhm yeah... I can't."
Fun stuff! Thanks for the laff.
@wtd966: this is very lame... this was not even funny...
Definitely not funny. Your words are infinitely wittier hence the term blogger. Otherwise it would be Pvlogger
(for Pervy video web logger) or (Parody enthusiast video web logger).
I think industrialjones nailed it on the head.
I'm with ROTOPHONIC; worst post ever.
@freeway8989:
Fair enough although the problem with these videos, as has been pointed out, is their inherent lameness more than their Appley origins.
The fact that the Apple tie-in bothers the Applephobics, a group that has recently become more militarized than Apple fanboys, Greenpeace, North Korea, and Ellen De Generes all rolled into one, should not steer Giz from covering Apple for the rest of us.
Like many of you, I am Amish, and I believe I speak for the Amish among us when I say GIZMODO: please do not let these Apple haters steer you off mission! (posted from my non-jail-broken iPhone).
Off topic: Will Turbosim work with the latest firmware? I'm not really interested in the apps, i just want to use another sim card on the phone.
So can someone confirm please?
Just for the record, I still don't get texting. WTF? Talk on the phone, and if you want to IM go home and use your computer or take it with you.
@bbfreak: texting is a life saver. say your somewhere where you can't talk. class, meeting, loud concert/party. A text is a silent way to communicate. i don't know about you, but i don't carry my computer with me, and a really really long ethernet cable.
I thought the ads were great. The first one's so funny.
Chalk me up for a meh.
weak sauce.
The second one was meh. The other two were too much of a stretch.
I know there's not much happening on a Sunday, but sometimes you can just let things be.
ahaha nice one!
funny, but the last one was perverted enough. you didnt do much to it.
Hmm, those were pretty poorly cobbled together, but they did make people whose supposedly bought iphones look stupid. I'm so torn, do I hate it for it's lack of funny, or love it for making apples fanboys look like tools?
