Line 39:
** [[Ben Stiller]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bW_cHfnOXM&feature=related humiliated] himself during a commercial for Chill Energy Drink, yelling in overdubbed Japanese about how fresh it is.
* The cast of ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' once did a Japanese advert for Georgia coffee, which is coffee in a can.
* Former Soviet premier [[Mikhail Gorbachev]], of all people, appeared in a commercial for Pizza Hut in the States and other countries. Given that he used to head the [[Soviet Union]] and all, it was seen as greatly ironic and embarrassing for him to shill for a capitalist company and thus espouse consumerism. He did however explain in a ''New York Times'' interview that he did it to [[Money, Dear Boy|fund his research foundation]], and that the capitalist irony didn't matter as the product he was shilling is "a people's matter" regardless of political ideology, i.e. food. The commercial was never shown in his native Russia especially as he is quite unpopular there.
