Ad for the LG Optimus G Pro makes fun of the Apple iPhone
We've seen Samsung produce ads for the Samsung Galaxy S III that makes fun of Apple fans who wait in line for days before the next Apple iPhone model is launched. But LG has taken this one step further by actually making fun of an iconic Apple television commercial. You've seen the ad, A group of kids is lined up and the iPhone camera pans throughout the entire line, from left to right. The voice of Jeff Daniels says, "Everybody say cheeeeese," as the the entire group is photographed in one shot. The picture is printed out, framed and hung on the wall. Obviously, the spot promotes the panoramic photo capabilities on the device.

The LG Optimus Pro G

The LG Optimus Pro G

LG has its own panoramic feature to show off for its upcoming flagship model, the LG Optimus Pro, courtesy of Android 4.2. But first, in the beginning of the ad, we see a line of playing kids get snapped in one shot, similar to the Apple iPhone ad, even copying the long stretched out "cheese" call. Actually, because this is ad is in Korean, the word is "Kimchiiiiiii". After the shot is taken, it is printed, framed and hanged on the wall just like the Apple ad, right down to the crooked placement of the photo on the wall that needs to be fixed. Nothing special here.

Then, we get to see Photo Sphere in action. It is a feature on Android 4.2, which obviously will be powering the LG Optimus G Pro at launch. And instead of capturing images along a horizontal plane like the camera on the Apple iPhone, it allows the capture to captures images horizontally and vertically resulting in a much fuller photograph which replaces the iPhone-esque shot that had been hanging on the wall.

It might not have been as sarcastic and pointed as Samsung's ad, but no less entertaining.

omg i laughed so much of the first video.. Yeah photo sphere is so much better then panorama.. in photo sphere you even got kids without feet... and feet without bodies

How can they use that picture in a commercial?

2. moronman66 posted on 23 Feb 2013, 15:33 15 3

Are you sure you're not confusing the paint containers with feet? I don't see any standalone feet lying around, or children without feet o.o

38. skaar18 posted on 24 Feb 2013, 04:48 1

Yeah you are right nobody is missing a foot or two in that picture... especially not the kid to the left -.-

I do not know where his foot/feet are, but he sure as h*** is missing one.

And no i did not mean to say that all of the paint containers are feet, i was talking in general about photo sphere. for now photo sphere is a gimmick it does not work probably. I have a nexus 4 and i have tried photo sphere. Unless your extremely good at taking picture you will get a picture or two wrong in photo sphere. And the commercial illustrate that.

46. dexter_jdr posted on 24 Feb 2013, 09:26

48. Haribo posted on 04 Mar 2013, 04:05

The only thing I can think someone may see as missing is the kid at the end jumping/skipping

Now why would anyone--or any company--make fun of Apple?

18. lolioslol (banned) posted on 23 Feb 2013, 18:41 13 2

Because there is an endless amount of material to work with.
- shoddy construction
- slave labor
- buggy OS
- apple maps
- overpriced
- condescending CEO
- refusal to listen to customer wants
- apple

You forgot:

- static UI
- arrogance
- refusal to compete fairly
- blind determination to destroy Android
- 0 consumer freedom
- patent wars BS.
- banning competitor products
- overhyped
- No native YouTube app
- apple

Photo Sphere is nice..

14. rizevnarastek posted on 23 Feb 2013, 17:20 12

But Photosphere is an android feature anyways :D

15. Hemlocke posted on 23 Feb 2013, 17:48 1 8

Photo Sphere looked cool when it debuted, and then I tried it. Awkward and lackluster, at best. Someone should make a commercial that shows someone taking a Photo Sphere shot with only one word in the caption: "Why?"

edit....

Translation: Until Apple implements it, its silly.

LG has no room to poke fun at Apple. They wish they had Apple's profits.

22. chemhaz posted on 23 Feb 2013, 19:40 8 1

Android to iOS: "Anthing you can do, I can do better" (and always had).

29. tusshharish posted on 24 Feb 2013, 00:44
