Check them out above. The Shoe one is the first one, and the House one is the second one. All I can say is WTF - fire the marketing team!
I thought the first one was just a lead up to something, however the second is more nothing.
Probably doesn't help that I hated the Jerry Character from Seinfeld and only watched it for the other characters. I don't think I ever found Jerry funny.
Yeah... these are worse than those awful Sony commercials last year...
"Bill Gates Does The Robot In Latest Windows Ad"

ummm... yeah...
The sad part about all this, is I bet it'll turn into another set of viral videos. Too many people like this sort of thing. :(
No I think MS screwed the pooch on this one...
Maybe, but I've seen lots of positive reviews from people. Heck, Engadget seems to be enamored.

"New Seinfeld, Gates Microsoft ad kinda sorta makes sense"

(anyone else think Gates looks kinda skeletal/dead in this one? Ironically, just above was a banner ad for the new Ricky Gervais comedy, "Ghost Town (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995039/)" o_o ;D )
Something which surprises me somewhat, Penny-Arcade didn't out "WTF" the MS ads:

I admit I did like the Grandma character.
Then again, on the weekend I was reminiscing fondly on the Wikipedia article for "Mama's Family" so it could be connected...
Haha, "connected" I didn't even mean to say that...
