Hopefully they’re working on a Mac port
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader The Schroot who sent us this awesome YouTube video he came across. Funniest thing I’ve seen in awhile.

Boring, un funny badly acted – thanks f’ktards
some of you guys missd the point completely wow I can not believe how many stupid people there are on earth.
They are introducing a new technology because MS never introduced paint.
What are the selling points in MS paint?
Alright, Paint sucks ass when compared to other graphics software. But as stated by Francis, it’s a free tool that comes with Windows and does exactly what it should do.
It’s simple, it’s quick and it has most of the simple graphics operations you could want. In fact, Paint has been updated to accept new file-types and has undergone some other tiny improvements. If you’re a designer, you buy PhotoShop, Illustrator or some other high-profile software which is designed specifically to suit your needs. If you really want high-end stuff, you buy a wacom pad and it will give even more possibilities.
The point is, I’m happy MS didn’t bloat Windows with a piece of software which is completely irrelevant to 95% of it’s users. The way these guys are using it to make fun of Windows is stupid and short-sighted. It does exactly what it should do, and as they pointed out, it even has a spray can!
are you people stupid??? this obviously went over most of your heads. the video was NOT making fun of windows and obviously had nothing to do with mac fanboy’ism. it was a comedy sketch based on software marketing. its that simple, idiots.
FANTASTIC!!! Wish I had thought of it!!!!
Now watch the copycats come out of the woodwork.
Bet Notepad is next, LOL!!!
AHAHAHAH..oh..wait. I almost ejaculated myself.
The screensavers were more funny than the video.
This is a Mac blog, the appropriate venue for this type of story. If you don’t like it there are plenty of other places to show your love for Microsoft.
Ok, it was funny enough. But MS Paint is awesome for it’s use.. For example pixel art and design.
This is stupid, depending on your skill you can create an amazing image with just pixel editing. Do not forget this.

Part of it was funny, some of it was stupid. All I can say is that MS-Paint really needs an upgrade . . . at least include the ability to make layers, and I’m happy. Anyways . . . that video is reason #1 why I have no respect for marketing majors.
Fucking Mac people. Only sense of humor is ripping on a product more than ten years old? Wow, why not just make fun of the first microwave model. I’m sure that will be a big hit as well
Interesting. Took me a second to realize it was a joke LOL
I love it when the girl is like “Can we get this line thinner?”
“No.”
I’ve so been that guy, limited by technology in my designs before and have been in a situation like that. “No.”
However there are so many things you can do with Paint

lol : “2 erasers SIDE BY SIDE, literially, we can erase TWICE AS FAST” well, he seemed pretty excited about the dual-erasers…
That program looks like it will work really well. When is it going to be coming out?
Macenstein rules!
lol wow i didn’t know so many mac haters read a mac site…
Digg links to the site. But this is lame.
Hahaha! Oh man, that’s great!
This application is way too advanced for my needs. Would it be possible for your team to build me a simple to use text program, where I could type stuff, and then save it to my computers hard drive.
An electronic “Note Pad ” if you will.
Please notify me if this application ever becomes reality. -Baked
“You just click on the icon and it opens in a matter of minutes..”
people dont understand that apple makes beautiful things…ipod… iphone??? microsoft software may be everywhere but apple is beautiful…and good to use… it gets the task done… where as in windows you’re still trying to work out how to install your anti-virus software..
lol, check out the humourless windullards
its a joke you utter, utter spastics
fantastic stuff 😀
That’s pretty lame…I’m beginning to think that Mac users are using the tactics that the stupid conservatives in the US have used the past ten years especially…make lame attempts at deriding the competition with such unfunny parodies.
That being said, thanks for finally making fun of MS Paint! It only took you 22 years to do so!
Way to go, Macenstein!
PS – Mac haters (or those of us who are indifferent) don’t read this site, this traffic is coming from Digg.
Dugg down for being lame.
funny, but what would i use on my mac to paint?
man, you PC guys are so touchy
its not the funniest parody ever, but its certainly amusing. What’s far far funnier are some of the riled up, angry responses from mac haters. Now THAT’s comedy.
Seriously guys, take a break sometime huh?
Must note, though, that with Winblows 2000+ came the ability for MSPaint to work with JPEGs. No more messing around with 3rd party apps to convert those huge bitmaps (tho if you know what a “file format” is, would you be f*ing with Paint to start with?)!
MACS SUCK
LOL
Pixels are pixels.
Paint is just as valid of an image-rendering program as any other. It’s your issue if you need shortcuts.
Ha, Those towns are in northern Wisconsin. They have way too much free time up there.
There is an app called “Seashore” for the Mac that installs and runs “gimp”. Has capabilities very similar to photoshop.. and it’s free.
What we here, is some seeming to be making a lot of hype out of nothing. I want you all to know, I use theirs tools to redo a cartoon I did of Vincent van Gogh painting on his easel,… and I think it came out pretty nice. What do you all think of it? Here is the address if you care to see it after using Paint. link1
LOL This bottom link will take you to the original before the overhaul, even though it was all there, it was hard to make out for some, so I made it so they could get the real meaning out of it. The address to this original drawing, before being reworked. link2
If this is to harsh for the one to look at,… ones who have been writing these witty lines,… feel free to delete it.
Cheers!

Mac humor seems to be the only kind of humor inherently less funny than unix humor. Who’d have thought?
OK, to the snobbies who think this oh so funny. I travel independently and a lot. And I go to places where sometimes you are just lucky if there is an internet café AND the computer has an USB port. But let me tell you one thing, those WIN98 or WIN2000 machines ALWAYS have a free, simple tool to quickly crop my images and upload them to my travel website. Sure, I could do it server side (I’m a web developer) but uploading 3 MB on a 56k line is boring, so that’s not really an option. Of course I’d prefer to do it in PS – but hei, for some strange reasons the internet café in Shymkent, Kazakhstan didn’t invest over 1k into PS. Darn. Solution: MS Paint. Cheap and easy. And I can still jazz up my images later when I’m at home and have my own computer and software.
So, people, think before you write something. Yes, we all prefer a decent photo editing tool over MSPaint – but there might be people who are glad that Windows comes with some sort of graphic tool at all.
You can MSPaint on a Mac!

with predefined photoshop brushes and palette
LOL…
It’s funny how people are saying it’s making fun of Paint. Well, it’s not. I actually looks like it’s making fun of the Mac, since macs don’t come with a simple image-editing tool like paint.
Lame and unfunny.
Funny! To those snickering about mac fans making fun of a 15 year old program… you’re missing the whole point. It’s making fun of the “infomercial” style mac propaganda. Obviously it’s a spoof… The high quality looking sub titles, the pan and scan camera work, the ultra modern work space… hilarious!
Quite well done if you ask me (and I’m a mac fan).
lol it’s a little funny, but Paint did something great – it made image editing available to the general user, people who didn’t know that they could edit easily.
That is Microsoft for you. Innovation via Imitation and Intimidation.
Does Macintosh come packaged with any kind of software to create any kind of graphics?
I had the misfortune of using Tiger for a few days, and when I needed to create a simple illustration, I ended up going on the Internet and downloading some trialware!
And if you think that porting something like that is dubious, check out Kolourpaint, for UN*X platforms
http://kolourpaint.sourceforge.net/screenshot0_big.png
Anyone who is offended by this is missing the point. The people in this video are proposing that the program Paint–simple, limited, and dated–is profoundly beneficial and shows promise in the future of digital media.
It is meant to be sarcastic because Paint would never be considered a choice tool by any professional designer. I doubt the makers of this video were trying to start a platform debate… Adobe makes the products that professionals use (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Flash) and they are readily available on BOTH platforms!
Thats halirious is that what PC’s use to design? I’ve been on Mac’s my whole life and now that I see what PC’s use, Mac is a far superior platform

Your just ignorant. Nough’ Said.
THIS IS A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….
Hilarious! Also noticed that all but one of those speakers had Apple systems or at least Apple peripherals. 🙂
Hmm, yeah, Mac port… It was on the Mac first. MacDraw.
Very well done aside from the squirrely guy with the terrible accent. Almost ruined it for me.
