"BABE ALERT" - dagnabbit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21They gave him money.
- jamangold, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21They didn't mention that Sarah Michelle Gellar, at the age of 4, was sued by McDonald's (along with Burger King and the ad agency) for the claims made by the advertisement (Yes, they actually sued a 4 year old girl). It was the first time a competitor was openly mentioned and criticized in a commercial. She couldn't enter a McDonald's unless she was disguised because of truth in advertising.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Michelle_Gellar - coheedcollapse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15I wouldn't say it's regrettable. The Japanese Arnold Schwarzenegger commercial is one of the most entertaining things that I've ever seen.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=skBlEbsM0jM - obiethedog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14How they convinced bruce willis, arguably the most manly man in hollywood, to sing about wine coolers will baffle me until the end of my existence.
- johnnyguitar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Bruce Willis and Seagrams... Frikkin' hilarious.
- BowZzer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I thought Bruce Willis did Seagram's as a result of Moonlighting, nmot before it.
- brianbb98, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8They forgot about the 1993 commercial for the Miracle Blade 2 with OJ Simpson...
- lava, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7They forgot the Ben Afflack "Here comes the science" commercial-- that's where I got my domain name from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBkpzEXAjcs
- metaly, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9I was waiting to see Jason Alexander's McDLT commercial at #1. Can't believe they missed this atrocity.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTSdUOC8Kac - Torbar203, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Who could forget Bill Gates in a Coke commercial.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2428643356101239067 - hellyes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6It's wet and it's dry!
- TrippWest, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7How could you forget Billy Dee Williams hawking Colt 45?
- dunnylovehun, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Well at least these ads gave them practice for the regrettable Japanese ads most celebrities appear in once they're actually famous.
- AreTooDeTo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6wow, i thought they would have had jack black and the pitfall commercial here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZwTT2HtIUs - gandhirs, on 10/10/2007, -6/+10I demand you to digg this comment down or don't digg it at all!
- robdiggity, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Works EVERY time.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Damn, almost made it all day without seeing a cracked.com submission.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4The scary part is...I don't remember a single one of those other commercials...except the Bruce Willis one. *ack*
- damndj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.
- k4ng, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Why isn't Evangeline Lily's phone sex ad on this list?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ6hIEqKR7A - ChiTownHero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Willie Nelson + IRS + $9 million I.O.U.=Taco Bell commercials 4 life
- Charlotte_Web, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3What about Arnold Schwarzenegger's Japanese commercials?

This was AFTER he became famous, but before internet videos! A lot of stars did goofy commercials in Japan because they figured their American audiences would never see them, and it was a quick buck. - D0P3M4N, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4The comments and descriptions of the ads were funnier than the commercials themselves.
Dugg for making me "Lol" - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Watch the old show "Moonlighting" sometime. He spent the first few years of his career hamming it up like that.
- skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2He was famous when that commerical was made.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2He was pretty funny on Moonlighting.
What is truly funny (strange) is that Bruce Willis got credibility by grunting and blowing stuff up in Die Hard. Blow crap up, and all of a sudden folks in the US who like their women large breasted, their tractor pulls muddy, and their beer Coors Lite, start tak'n notice of your thinkin' skills. - DatoeDakari, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Money and free alcohol
- skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's a good thing too. McDonalds tastes like crap.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Bruce Willis' commerical was not a "Before They Were Famous" type of deal. He was already on Moonlighting.
- Crispin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1He was also on some CBS show about kids in a high school who learn to run the school's cable news channel. It was called TV 101.
- GunnerMcGrath, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Ever since Friends first came on the air I've been trying to figure out where I'd seen Joey before.. it was definitely that commercial! I remember seeing it hundreds of times as a kid, enough to make his face as recognizable as anyone else i saw on tv back then.
- AkiraXXX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Even better was the parodies of those commercials that he did on an episode of Saturday Night Live. God, I wish I had a link to that video. For those who remember the Seagram's tune, he also used it to sell "Depends." I think the words were something like, "Deeee-pends, adult undergarments; they keep you dry. My my my myyyyy!" At least he could laugh at himself.
- diggstown, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1How can you leave off Fred McGriff and the infamous Tom Emanski's Defensive Drills video?
- doctechnical, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"EZ-Reader" hawking Listerine. From the way he played it I guess Kingfish wasn't available.
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Anyone have a link to the one with Ann Coulter hawking Midol before she became a wingnut ?
- HunterTV, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This is a very dangerous job... for my hair.
Price-*****-less. - khaosx2030, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Wow, Keanu Reeves best acting was in a corn flakes commercial.
- rlbigfish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Correct. Well, Farker converted to Digger. I still go back sometimes.
- BuffalOBisoN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTSdUOC8Kac
Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) singing in a McDonald's commercial pushing the 'McDLT'. - dark2025, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What about those Japanese Schwarzenegger commercials?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY5xIavvl6Y&mode=related&search=
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skBlEbsM0jM&mode=related&search= - benperth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ok, granted alot of those actors were young and just trying to get their foot in the acting door.
But what about Tara Reid doing this Australian Dodo advert? For those non-Australians Dodo is (roughly) our equivalent of AOL.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=eB9Zk1R0bAo - bytor4232, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Bruce Willis, one of the most masculine men in hollywood, drinking one of the girliest drinks you can order.
Grab a beer you sissy. - Nightfall01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, this commercial actually made me think of his character David Addison.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1OK, missing Bob Dole's depends and viagra commercials is unforgivable.
- nds84, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I was thinking the same exact thing. You must be a Farker to.
- seraph582, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0heheh its pretty funny too :)
"i'll pay you back." I'd expect at least a benjamin for helpin him out with coke money - jamangold, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Agann is doing it wrong.
- rlbigfish, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1What about Ben Affleck's "Here Comes the Science" commercial?
- Philconners, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I would have put this as #1
