Apple's 1984 Super Bowl Macintosh televison commerical

"1984" is the title of the television commercial that launched the Apple Macintosh personal computer in the United States, in January 1984.
The commercial aired on January 22, 1984 during a break in the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII. The ad showed an unnamed heroine (played by Anya Major) wearing orange shorts, red running shoes, and a white tank top with a Picasso-style picture of Apple's Macintosh computer, running through an Orwellian world to throw a sledgehammer at a TV image of Big Brother — an implied representation of IBM — played by David Graham. The concluding screen showed the message and voice over "On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like '1984'." At the end, the Apple "rainbow bitten apple" logo is shown on a black background.

When the Apple 1984 commercial was shown to Apple's board, in order to get approval of the high cost of showing the commercial at the Superbowl, the response was unexpected. Every external board member reacted negatively, with the influential Mike Markkula actually stating that Apple should start looking for another ad agency. One of the board members claimed it was the worst commercial he had ever seen.
