"Portable 2 Compared to This Fish" - JOHN CLEESE Compaq Ad

Back


One of many wonderful commercials John Cleese did for Compaq Computer Corporation in the mid to late '80s.

A very rare find and a treasure for any John Cleese fan, these classic ads were shown only in Great Britian.

Alright..... here we can see the difference between a real comedy genius and the "humor" that comes from publicity creatives......
Apple / pc ads are really stupid compared to this.

I ate the fish and bought the portable 9 Million the next year. Sorry Sir John, we can't always win...

If they ran this against the "I'm Mac and I'm PC" commercials it'd win hands down.
