On the first sight it seems to be a good commercial. On the second sight: no! It is the same mistake as C= did with those A500 commercials some years before. You see a teenager and a cool homecomputer. But that were already the customers of Amiga. You want new customers, you want grown-up people buying an Amiga? Don't make a commercial showing the Amiga as a toy!
And even that was wrong! What kind of teenager is the target of that commercial? Boys between 10 and 15! No girls, no older people who want to use that computer. Compare it to Nintendo commercials! The exact opposite of stupid commercials in that time did Acorn for the Archimedes. They showed how many educative titles are available for the Archimedes. And who bought an Acorn? Schools. Would a teenager buy a computer used at schools? Of course not. It's not cool.
