Best Ever Celebrity Gadget Ads
What do Kevin Costner, Jack Black, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the cast of 'M*A*S*H' have in common? If you said Kevin Bacon ... well, you're probably right. But they've also all appeared in TV ads for technology products ranging from Atari and Nintendo to IBM and Compaq. Inspired by this recent roundup of current celebrity ad campaigns, we've dredged the very depths of YouTube in search of the all-time greatest celebrity tech ads, and here's what we found.Celeb: Kevin Costner
Year: 1983
Product: Apple LISA
Synopsis: 1983 was a rough year for Kevin Costner. First, his hopes for a big break were shattered when his part was completely edited out of one of the year's biggest films, 'The Big Chill.' Then, he appeared in this ad -- as an actor, mind you; not as Kevin Costner -- for the Apple LISA, one of the biggest flops in the history of personal computing. It's evident Costner had yet to perfect his craft. After all, look at the way he walks into his office -- is that the most unnatural gait you've ever seen? And look at the way he awkwardly holds the mouse! In his defense, though, how many people in 1983 knew how to use a computer mouse?

Kevin Costner will be standing with Michelle Obama in Colorado tomorrow to promote Obama's campaign. I'm appalled that Obama is allowing Kevin Costner to particiapte. On his honeymoon, Kevin Costner exposed himself to a massuese, holding her wrist so she could not escaped and then had a happy ending, a happy ending the masseuse had clearly said no to. When the masseuse complained, she was fired. What does this say about Obama's stance on women's rights? Apparently, if you are a rich Hollywood actor you can get away with anything!

I sort of liked all of it. I love Kevin Costner in anything...commercials, movies, talk shows, whatever. Who really paid any attention to the computer anyway. If you are a woman...you're looking at the hunk!!!!!Right ladies?????
Janet A. KeenanSep 14th 2007 8:26PM
I loved this commercial. I've never seen Costner looking better and I completely disagree with every criticism you listed.
DianeSep 14th 2007 9:25PM
Just one thought on the way he holds the mouse... has the thought crossed your mind that he could be left handed? Other than that who cares... Kevin Costner is great!
SharonSep 14th 2007 10:17PM
Actually he IS right handed. Ive had the chance to meet him and spend some time with him at the same golf course he met his current wife at. He is definitely RIGHT handed.

Computer? What computer?
AnneSep 14th 2007 11:21PM
The dog looks familiar also.. isn't it the one that was in Flashdance? That was out about the same year...
NatalieSep 15th 2007 8:43AM

All I can say is . . . Yummmmmmmmm!
patSep 15th 2007 12:14AM
Hell, I'm not gay and I think he looks handsome. The only thing I agree with, cos I was lookin for it, mind, is his gait. Yeah, it's like he was practicing for Silverado. The rest seemed just fine to me.
Off-topic: obviously, sex-on-the-brain not a gender-related thing.

I built my first computer back about that time. I didn't even know what a mouse was back then. At that time, does anyone remember the "Penny whistle"? That was your modem. If you want to see one, watch "War Games". Only Apple and HP had real computers at that time. Looking at where we are now, that was a "prophetic" commercial, and was well done.

WHAT COMPUTER, REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHO CARES THE MAN IS DELICIOUS......

He did walk kinda funny but he's good now.
cheeseysmyleSep 19th 2007 6:16AM
We have come a long way with computers...He may be both left and right handed...my stepson does everything with his left hand except when it comes to sports...then he is right handed. (baseball, golf, bowling, etc...)
AndiPriceSep 19th 2007 6:37AM
I'm surprised it took him very long to break into films. I'd pay the cost of a ticket just to look at him for 2 hours. ..oh, yeah. I've done that already.
MarinSep 19th 2007 6:47AM
Costner is slow, smooth and STILL looking great. Young OR Older now, he's still hot!
