    not sure if this will be allowed but ill give it a shot

    We recently completed a marketing plan on iPad for my uni marketing coursee. Now to present it we decided to get a Mac vs Pc style ad, only with ipad and a competing tablet brand.

    I was wondering if you guys have any funny skits or ideas? Right now we have the competing tablet dressing up as something funny with cardboard box and me asking him wtf he is wearing. Then followed by asking him what features he has and to all questions he answers no. So like do you support ibooks, he says no. Not sure how to end this one, maybe his battery dies and the person just falls to the ground, lol

    now it might not sound funny and thats why i decided to give a shot here since a lot of posters are teens. Any ideas would be appreciated. You dont really have to write a skit, just broad ideas that i can work with

    and if this is against rules, then sorry mods.

    Thanks for the help

    What competing tablet is even out that can compete with the iPad? All the potential contenders are still in the development and marketing stages.

    yea thats the one we are focusing on in this ad. I guess the idea is to have a funny skit/ad to start off our presentation something like this would be great

    and Fairly?? :p thats not what we are aiming for, lol. We are representing iPad and well we have to make ours look better haha.

    Oh god, Mac vs PC parodies are more played out than Hamster Dance. Seriously, just take any ideas you may have that end in making a Mac vs PC parody videos out to the pasture and put them down.

    Or maybe they were just being really, really, really polite.

    There's an art to writing them. Apple makes it seem more like the audience is making the decision as to which device is better with gentle prods. They don't go all out and make PC a manic-depressive guy with a shattered self-esteem. He's still lovable.

    true. its not like i have to get it perfect, the group just wants it funny and i can make it funny on the spot but thats too much of a risk for a uni course with part of 20% on the line
