yay. i'm using a compaq right now! Though it is SLIGHTLY more advanced than that one.

My brain hurts!

This is very Goon-esque! Especially the nylon dog cardigan bit.

Cleese acts like one of the Gumbies here... I wonder if that's on purpose, or if it's just a generic stupid-sounding act?

lol "i am crying" xD

hahaha one of the best of the compaq ads. down with ibm !

I think this was a take from the Monty Python. I remember seeing this when I was four or five year of age, and was a bit creeped out by Cleese. But now that I'm grown up, it's pretty funny. I gotta say, IBM probably felt really crummy after Compaq pounded them.

't was an ad, not a sketch from MP

...at the end "Mummy!"

Reminds me of 'Dr. Gumby' from the Flying Circus. That in itself makes me laugh.
