Apparently you weren't paying attention. Go look at the list of highlights below the video. The point was to illustrate that while we're remembering the great ads, Apple has had plenty of "bad" ads in the past. We just have selective memories.

Look at the ads in question though. G3? G4? Powerbook? Cube? Yes, these might be Steve era ads, but they're far from recent or relevant. It's perfectly valid to call them out on bad ads, regardless of if they've made bad ads before. Just like "it was better in the past" isn't an argument, "it was just as bad in the past" still does not follow. It may have been just as bad in the past, but it was also better in the past. The link between the two is, it's not good now.
