<p>Congratulations, Samsung! You succeeded in ego-checking a bunch of Apple fan boys just in time to make them question their Black Friday spending habits. (Also, you got us to write about a cellphone commercial. Really guys, you're on a roll.)</p>
<p>The ad takes place in the not-so-fictional world of lines of hipsters outside Apple stores nine hours before the iPhone 4S goes on sale. "Guys I'm so amped I could stay here for three weeks" and "Yeah, I mean, this is an event!" quickly gives way to doubt when they hear about battery problems and lack of 4G. <!--more--></p>
<p>At which point, the commercial pokes fun at buyers appearance-oriented motivation: "If it looks the same, how will people know I upgraded?"</p>
<p>Enter a pretty girl with an even prettier Samsung Galaxy S II with a big screen and 4G. Suddenly the Apple acolytes are torn! But here comes the rub. A long-haired beardo shakes his head: "I could never get a Samsung. I'm creative." "Dude, you're a barista," his hoodied friend retorts. <em>Burn</em>. Shattering Steve Jobs's reality distortion field is one thing, ribbing the creative underclass is another. Hath not a barista big dreams?</p>
<p>If Apple devotees don't find the ad unconvincing, Samsung isn't sweating it. Brian Wallace, the company's VP of strategic marketing, tells <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-commercial-2011-11">Business Insider</a> they weren't his target anyways.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>"</strong>We're not targeting fanboys. We're not going to  convert them. We're using them as a foil to target current Android users  upgrading to a new phone and people entering the smartphone market for the first time."<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-commercial-2011-11#ixzz1eXg1lChM"><br />
</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Makes sense. Play to your audience: they say every time someone tells an Apple joke, an Android user gets his wings.</p>
