I’m a Mac assembled in Ireland

Apple have finally unleashed the i’m a mac adverts on the UK and i’m both impressed and surprised by their choice of actors.

Mitchell and Webb are probably now best known for their self titled sketch show, which alternated between strokes of genius “numberwang” and slight pointlessness.  Before their sketch show they played the two main characters in sitcom “Peep Show”, which I love so much.  God I hope they do some more.

Problem is, as much as I love Mitchell and Webb I’m not sure they work quite right in these adverts, maybe it’s because i’m used to the american ones.  Mitchell’s tone of voice isn’t quite matter-of-factly enough for the PC character, and I’ve seen Webb play idiot characters too many times to go with him as the mac guy.  Hmm, i’ve just realised, i’ve presumed which is Mitchell and which is Webb, when I actually have no idea.  It’s the ant and dec syndrome.
