Apple's 2002 television ad for the iMac G4 "Lamp", showing the adjustable-arm design in a playful way.

Cited in iMac G4 threads as a charming ad reminiscent of Pixar's Luxo Jr.

Totally agree about the playfulness. I still remember this ad for the G4 which feels very similar to Luxo Jr. from Pixar. Really fun. ▶ this video

The weak link was the arm, they tended to suffer from droop after a while and it was difficult to repair. ▶ this video
