Hah, I just watched it on your recommendation. I think they were going for the vibe of a cynical sitcom... but they forgot to put any decent jokes in, and they didn't do what successful sitcoms do and paper over the nastiness with charisma and some moments of warmth. So it's just 3 minutes or so of stress-inducing bleakness.

Even if they succeeded in the sitcom idea, how does that promote their product? It’s easily the worst ad from Apple I have seen in a long time.
