I don’t watch *Big Brother* (ok.. no snickering) so I didn’t catch the second Microsoft ad that debuted last night featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld.

But I caught it on YouTube this am, and I have to say, a few parts made me laugh.

Essentially Bill and Jerry crash with a typical family to ‘connect’ and I have to admit several aspects resonated with me, though none related to Microsoft products and functionalities.

Here’s the [link](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBWPf1BWtkw) to the long uncut version which elicited a few chuckles, especially over the ‘missing’ giraffe episode.

My favorite person in the ad? The grandmother of course. She does the laundry, cuts the lawn, fixes the car and pretty much predicts what comes into play.
