Even his faithful four-eyed fans must finally swallow the fact that Jerry Seinfeld is no longer a relevant pop culture icon. As if "Bee Movie" wasn’t enough to prove his waning appeal (and misguided efforts), public reaction to his two Microsoft ads has been tepid at best.

Just two weeks later and a reported $10 million paycheck, Seinfeld is already done. While Microsoft’s PR rep said that his appearances were meant to be short lived, he also admitted surprise to them not being more successful. Seinfeld is part of a $300 000 ad campaign that’s supposed to show the PC is still swinging.

Of course, critics are quick to liken this case of bad casting to the overall lack of a PC’s "cool factor". And despite Microsoft’s apparent best efforts, the hipster-friendly "I’m a Mac" campaign gets a free boost.
