Samsung’s bashing of iPhone users is becoming a regular occurrence. Its latest swipe came during yesterday’s Super Bowl, when it ran a commercial for its new, super-sized Galaxy Note smartphone, which sports a huge 5.3-inch display and includes a stylus.

Yes, “it’s got a pen!” 

Like its previous ads, Samsung’s latest 90-second clip pokes fun at iOS fans who stand in line to get their hands on the latest device. It was directed by Bobby Farrelly, known for films like There’s Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin, and features British rock band The Darkness.

One of the Galaxy Note’s best features, according to the advert, is its built-in stylus. But Steve Jobs would disagree. Apple’s co-founder and former CEO once famously proclaimed, “if you see a stylus, they blew it.”
