Man, is no one getting that this is self-deprecating, sarcastic humor? It's not meant to be serious. At all. They got rid of the jack, after making fun of others getting rid of the jack, and now they're bringing it back. The only way to go about that is to laugh at yourself. This is funny.

I enjoy that the ad seems to be self-aware and deliberately ironic.

I wonder how many of the people missing the humor don’t have their sound on. Because that video was hilarious.

  In their defense, it's a pain in the ass to connect Bluetooth audio...

    - ethbr0 5y ago
      Only on the bus or subway.

      Yes, some phones have speakers.

I am a long time iPhone fan and this Android ad made me chuckle. I miss the self-deprecation of Silicon Valley/tech. It's almost nostalgic coming from Google. It reminds me of the Google and other tech companies before they became so successful and so polished.

  It's not just the self-deprecation, it's the poking fun at companies along the way. The Pentium II burning ad is a classic. As was the Mac vs PC ads about a decade ago. The last Apple computer I owned was an Apple IIc. I used a MacBook Pro for work a few times, and just never enjoyed the experience of it. I just completely never got the same level of joy using it than I did when I first got the Apple IIc.
