Touché
After talking to a couple of people, I think that the source material I pastiched in my previous post isn't as well-known as I thought it was.
It's based on Apple's current TV advertising campaign, featuring an anthropomorphized Mac and PC discussing their relative merits. They're wonderfully funny ads, not least because they're so outrageously biased towards Mac.
They actually backfire slightly, because if you're like me you'll end up liking the bumbling but well-meaning PC character more than the slick but slightly cocky Mac character.
The PC is played by John Hodgman, who's is also a regular contributor to The Daily Show as the "resident expert". In fact, in tonight's episode (on More4) he was hilariously cornered into saying his "I'm a PC" line while explaining how a two-tier Internet would work.
The Mac is played by Justin Long, who'll I'll always think of as the fanboy nerd in one of my fave films, Galaxy Quest (best line: "Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!").
