You can watch the 10 minute video here. It's fine. Nothing's crazy there. It's just focusing on an advertisement for Apple, will a comedy of errors happens...

And here's an archive of the video. Honestly, it doesn't seem that bad, maybe a little insensitive in parts, but they're depicted as being able to solve really complex problems, so that's cool.

That was one of th better commercials I've seen in the last couple decades, I found myself pulling for them.

It was a little silly and over the top, which was the goal. I think they nailed it. But it wouldn't be modern day without offended people running interference.
