What the Microsoft Windows Phone TV Commercial Abominable Dating is about.

In 2012, Microsoft released a TV commercial for their Windows Phone that had everyone talking. The commercial, titled "Abominable Dating," was a hilarious take on the awkwardness of modern dating.

The commercial starts with a woman on a blind date with a man who seems to be more interested in his smartphone than her. As she sits there waiting for him to pay attention to her, she notices that he's using a Windows Phone. She decides to ask him about it, hoping to steer the conversation away from the awkward silence. As he shows her some of the features of the phone, such as the ability to resize live tiles and to easily update his social media accounts, the camera pans out to reveal that the guy actually has the body of a yeti.

The commercial then goes on to show the couple holding hands and walking through the city, with the yeti guy using his Windows Phone to guide them to various destinations. As they take pictures and update their social media accounts, the commercial pokes fun at the absurdity of modern dating and the lengths we will go to stay connected.

The commercial was a hit with audiences and critics alike, with many praising its unique approach to advertising and its clever use of humor. It also helped to establish the Windows Phone as a viable competitor in the smartphone market, even though it ultimately failed to gain significant market share. Overall, "Abominable Dating" remains a memorable and entertaining example of how advertising can be both effective and enjoyable.

Microsoft Windows Phone TV Commercial Abominable Dating produced for Microsoft Windows Phone was first shown on television on December 11, 2012.
