Best Ever Celebrity Gadget Ads

by Switched Staff on September 7, 2007 at 03:06 PM

Celeb: Mr. T

Year: 2007

Product: Hitachi Data System Virtualization

Synopsis: Because nothing says, "We're with the times" like a spokesman whose career peaked two decades ago, Hitachi hired Mr. T for this online video ad for its Data System Virtualization software. We don't know what that means, but we already hate it thanks to this horrible ad. It's so bad, Hitachi didn't seem to care that the face makeup worn by the ad's antagonist is blatantly crumbling off his face. Not even jibber-jabber from T like, "Intelligence in the network is for suckers!" can save this stinker. And yet, it's so mesmerizing, we had no choice but to include it in this 'Best Ever' roundup.
