Examples of Actor Allusions in Advertising.
- A Toy Story 3 themed ad for US Postal Services flat rate boxes had Hamm the piggy bank informing the group about the service while wearing a postal hat and bag. Hamm is voiced in the films by John Ratzenberger, who's most known for playing a postman on this one TV series...
- Ratzenberger also was the spokesman for Pitney-Bowes Personal Post Office.
- During the second Old Spice campaign with "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like", Old Spice had him answer random tweets to @OldSpice...and a random tweet from one @IsaiahMustafa. Unfortunately, this does not qualify as Talking to Himself.
- With credit to The Other Wiki for pointing out the reference: The original ad campaign for XM Satellite Radio featured famous musicians falling from the sky and crashing into various mundane settings. David Bowie fell into a motel room, looked skyward and murmured, "I'll never get used to that."
