Before everyone starts asking, the song and music is by The Hundreds and Thousands, song title is "Here We Go."

How big a deal is this? Well judging from the comical but very truthful comments being posted on the video's YouTube page...it's a huge deal.

Jeff Daniels narrates the Apple iPhone 5 "Orchestra" TV ad as they seem to play their music a little too loudly for his liking. Apparently, even when the world gets noisy, iPhone 5 with noise canceling lets you have a better phone call.

See the iPhone 5 Thanksgiving Turkey commercial HERE.

Apple's newest TV commercial for this Thanksgiving is all about Turkey and the iPhone 5 Shared Photo Stream function of iOS 6 ("it's as easy as pie"). The ad is narrated by the new voice of Apple Jeff Daniels, you know...the Dumb and Dumber guy but more recently better known as Will McAvoy, the fictional news anchor of Aaron Sorkin's HBO show "Newsroom."
It's a shame has the comments disabled on their YouTube channel, the haters would have a field day with this one.

In another parody/spoof ad that can be filed under better than the real ads, comes this commercial created by Cinesaurus entitled Surface vs. iPad. The parody spot is obviously favoring heavily on Microsoft's side as the Surface tablet gives the iPad a good old beating techy style.

Real or fake? I don't know.....what are your thoughts on the "one dies million cry, million die and no one cries?"
