Great moments in commercial history

I'm sure we've all seen the Flea Market Montgomery ad (IT'S JUST LIKE A MINI-MALL)... or maybe even the Eagle Insurance ad.

But has anyone seen Steve "Used Car Salesman" Ballmer sell Windows 1.0? Or the hilarious Mo Money Taxes?

My personal favorite has got to be Jim "The Hammer" Shapiro: I'm sorry, you can't beat that.

I'm sure you can find more...

I've always been a fan of the Barclaycard adverts with Rowan Atkinson. See here and some of the related vids from there.

ETA; Also, this. Watch it right to the end.

And in similar sports-figures-in-commercials madness, I've always loved the surreal insanity of ESPN's Sportscenter commercials.
