There is a recent Hewlett Packard commercial that starts out in a grey, flickering-flourescent lit room with celebrities seated around the walls, including Penn & Teller, Abe Vigoda, and the lead singer of "Flaming Lips".
A friend of mine, Tadao Tomomatsu (also Chairman of Loscon 29 this past November) is an actor, and was dressed like an Iron Chef sitting on one wall in that commercial.
They show a few of the celebrities talking to eachother (like the guy from Survivor asking Penn Gillette to think of a number between 0 and 100) and after a few short comments, a guy with a clipboard enters the room and says "Flaming Lips... You're up." The lead singer of Flaming Lips and two people in rabbit suits walk out of the room, and onto someone's computer monitor, singing one of their songs.
[Fade to HP logo, and hear narrator's blurb about getting whatever you want on the net with HP computers]
