Seinfeld/Bill Gates Microsoft Commercial. Horrible.

It was so bad I don’t even dare use the Seinfeld ping list.

I have no idea, but Seinfeld isn’t cheap.

My brother and I were watching football when this commercial appeared. I had not seen it before, but my brother had. He, being as opinionated as I, said something to the effect of "WTF is this commercial?"

After it was over, I had to agree. "Conquistador"? WTF? (I thought that was a Procol Harum song!)

And what about the length of the commercial? It was interminable! It was like listening to Obama answer a question without a teleprompter or Joe Biden answering any question!

As an American, I applaud the fact that Bill Gates has created jobs and made many people millionaires - how he did it is a subject for debate on another thread. Nevertheless, he is an American success story. However...

Memo to Bill Gates: never, ever again appear in a commercial for Microsoft. If you do, you might want to spend some of your billions on acting lessons.

...not that there’s anything wrong with that...

The ad is beyond bad. It makes no sense.

I thought people were just being unkind, but I have to agree with the consensus. That was the single worst commercial I've ever seen in my entire life.

The only way it even makes sense to make the commercial is if it's some sort of money laundering scheme.
