Best Ever Celebrity Gadget Ads

by Switched Staff on September 7, 2007 at 02:46 PM

Celeb: Alan Alda

Year: 1983

Product: Atari 800XL

Synopsis: This gem of a commercial was made when computer ad campaigns were all about breaking down the notions that PCs were hard to use, scary, non-personal devices. In this instance, a relaxed, robed Alan Alda chills with his jealous dog and learns Italian from his non-threatening Atari 800XL.
