Is the new Samsung commercial bashing the iPhone pissing you off?

I am not an Apple fan, but I am getting annoyed at the new Samsung commercial referencing the new iPhone 5. It bashes on the iPhone and proclaims that its phone is better. I love how, now that Samsung and Apple went to court and Samsung lost, all Samsung is doing is cracking jokes about the iPhone. Samsung doesn't stop bashing Apple. Everything in the commercial is bashing Apple. I am not a fanboy, but I think it's cracking me up.

I don't know if saying "pissing you off" in the title will get me in trouble on here, but I am sorry if so!

The overall job of the ad is to make you buy the SIII, but if the ad doesn't even make one aware, then it has failed. The fact that the ad is affecting you means that it is being successful in one aspect, making you aware. Even if it is affecting you in a negative way. The worst kind of ad is the one that doesn't affect someone at all.

But personally I don't find it annoying. Samsung is going to take jabs at Apple, and vice versa.

They were funny though and it was fun marketing.

Funny is relevant to the person, I too thought they were funny (I think Samsung's are humorous too) but not everyone thinks the same. What's funny to you and I is annoying and childish to others, and vice-versa.

@Fish "They were funny though and it was fun marketing." Then by your standard the Samsung commercials are funny and fun marketing; because they are doing the same thing.

You see a man trip in thin air in a store and breaks their nose, and you laugh. You trip on thin air in a store and you break your nose, and everyone laughs at you, is it still funny? You cant have it both ways.

Yes it's annoying and childish. The S3 is average at best.

What exactly makes the SIII average?

(Sep 22 '12 at 15:24) JordanV

The software. If you like Android great, and the hardware is ok (aside from the pentile screen) but then Samsung go and ruin the experience with a very poor overlay over Android. Had it been stock Android my view would be much better. It's a good phone made average by the screen and software overlay.

I have no idea why this has been down-voted and flagged!? This is my opinion of the commercial and the S3 (having shortly owned the S3). I do not se ein any way how this is "Not being very nice" or anything similar.

(Sep 27 '12 at 20:34) Fish

I have to agree with that, but I have a major bias against Touchwiz (Samsung's Skin in question). It really would've been better running AOSP.

The pentile is not very noticeable with the AMOLED screen. Granted, it is pentile but it's still not nearly as bad as the regular pentile displays.

The only other thing that bugs me about the S3 is the large center-oriented home button, it just reminds me far to much of an iPhone for me to enjoy it.

While I can agree that the UI ruins it for me, I wouldn't say its an average phone. ;)

Nope. Samsung knows how to make a phone and keep ahead with the technology. Apple clearly doesn't. They have never put out a phone that kept up with technology, ever. Android phones are, and have always been, save perhaps for the G1, a step above.
