Celeb: Phil Hartman

Year: 1981

Product: 'Ice Hockey' (video game)

Synopsis: In the early '80s, game publisher Activision had a knack for spotting budding talent (see: Jack Black). Five years prior to beginning his truly ingenious tour of duty on 'Saturday Night Live,' and a full decade before voicing Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure on 'The Simpsons,' Phil Hartman showed up in this TV ad getting pretty worked up over 'Ice Hockey' for the Atari 2600. Phil, we miss you.
