Apple’s New Ad Will Make You Laugh (and Kind of Cringe)
Apple TV+ just released a one‑minute spot titled “Everyone but Jon Hamm.” In the clip, the famed Hollywood actor Jon Hamm—yes, the Mad Men legend—tries to navigate the streaming service only to find a parade of big‑name stars plotting to be the show’s shining moments.
The Setup
Picture this: Jon Hamm is happily swiping through Apple TV+’s library. He’s looking for something new, a fresh binge‑watch. Instead of a relatable, “just for me” moment, the screen goes on a binge fiesta of celebrity fame.
Celebrity Parade (Not Using “My” Folly)
- Chris Evans—Captain America vibes.
- Jason Sudeikis—just because it sounds like “Suds‑yks.”
- Jennifer Aniston—the only one who still has a heart.
- Jason Momoa—science‑fiction ninja.
- Will Ferrell—every comedy owed to his shoes.
- Samuel L. Jackson—“I’m going to need a bigger lightbulb.”
- Paul Rudd—the guy who’s basically the human version of a smart‑phone.
- Octavia Spencer—soulful marketing genius.
- Mahershala Ali—to ascribed everything.
- Reese Witherspoon—the lady who can handle a cupcake in both hands.
- Frances McDormand—all that sharp wit.
- Denzel Washington—who’s getting on a job.
- Tom Holland—the only 4‑superhero-brain.
- Billie Eilish—the quiet one that always looks in the dark.
Why It’s Hilarious
All the other stars are practically flashing their selfies on the screen. No wonder Jon’s reaction is a mix of disbelief, smoke‑puffs, and a poignant “I’m just trying to binge, not become a pop star.” The moment catches the absurdity that, in our era of showdom, everyone is a celebrity.
Takeaway
Apple’s humor is subtle yet effective: They’re poking a fun layer at the star culture we all live in. If you’re one of the millions who casually scroll for content, you’ll suddenly get a pang of envy mixed with a hearty laugh. And while the ad doesn’t give Jon Hamm a starring role, it does give us a transparent glimpse into a screen that’s forever looking for the next big thing.
