It's not from Microsoft, it was an Apple comercial for the Macintosh, in 1984. It depicts an Orwell's 1984-like Big Brother.

Of course Conan wasn't there in the original.

More info here (http://www.duke.edu/~tlove/mac.htm) and the presentation of the Mackintosh by Steve Jobs (recommended!) here (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8631701936876784775&q=steve+jobs)

Correct. It was an old Apple advertisement introducing Mac. It only aired once, and during the Super Bowl.

-_-;

>>208469already mentioned that book/movie. It was the add that Futurama and ytmnd's Future Conan parody though. http://www.duke.edu/~tlove/mac.htm has a crapton of info on the commercial.

Technically I asked "what movie" it was from, but I followed it up by asking what it was parodying(an and/or situation). And that gif was parodying the commercial, not the movie.

IBM was making tons of money and Apple was trying to make its way onto the market. IBM was also known as "Big Blue" (hence all the people sitting in the pews are blue, and the screen is supposed to be blue.... I can't remember what was there originally, but obviously not Conan) Anyways, the commerical was supposed to be about breaking away from the bandwagon (which, even to this day, non-apple computers are still sometimes called IBM-based) how good it was.... well, I'll leave that to your discretion

Seriously guys, it took waaaaaaaaaaay too long for someone to say 1984. I'm disapointed.
