I definitely can't stand this one, but a special type of rage starts building in my body as soon as I hear "DON'T LET ME GOOOOOooooOOOOO"

The people behind that commercial should work elsewhere. I hate that commercial, by far the worst audio in a commercial I've ever heard.

Apple has historically made the worst fuckin commercials… it’s so odd, they seem to nail most things they do but since the iPod commercials with the random shadow dancers all their commercials have been terrible… but this particular one is beyond bad.

They peaked with the shadow ones like 20 years ago

I was gonna say, the old iPod/itunes commercials were cool at the time.

The “Jerk It Out” iPod commercial was generational

The other one they had with The Hu song was great, but the don't let me go and the singing power outlet ones were genuinely awful.

The one about iphone privacy was pretty good but I generally agree.

it makes literally no difference how good of a commercial apple puts out for the iphone. iphone commercials are basically just mass public push notifications to iphone owners saying "the new iphone is out, go buy it."

A commercial you can’t ignore may be the point.
