SLIDESHOW: Funniest Celeb TV Commercial?
1 of 8
William Shatner, Priceline
Shatner has been the Priceline guy for as long as we can remember. But now, his character is biting the dust ... literally. In a new 30-second TV commercial, "The Negotiator" falls off a bridge.

-
Keanu Reeves, Corn Flakes
Reeves really, really likes Corn Flakes, as you can see in this hilariously cheesy 1987 ad.
-
Betty White, Snickers
In the famous 2010 Snickers ad that aired during the Super Bowl, White (as "Mike") responds, "That's not what your girlfriend says!" when someone accuses her of "playing like Betty White" on the football field.
-
Britney Spears/Bob Dole, Pepsi
A young, nubile Britney gyrates her way through this Pepsi ad … but Bob Dole steals the show with his line, "Easy boy."
-
Billy Dee Williams, Colt 45
Williams was criticized for promoting stereotypes in his malt liquor ads in the 1980s and early '90s, but we kind of love this shamelessly sleazy commercial.
-
Will Ferrell, Bud Light
Ferrell wore an afro and showed a lot of leg as Jackie Moon in this 2008 Super Bowl commercial for Bud Light (which also promoted his movie, "Semi-Pro").
-
Ringo Starr, Sun Country Classic Wine Cooler
The ex-Beatle pretty much made a total fool out of himself in this 1987 wine cooler ad. But hey -- people really did drink wine coolers back then.
-
Ed McMahon and MC Hammer, Cash 4 Gold
McMahon and Hammer poked fun at their financial troubles in this 2009 Super Bowl ad.

William Shatner has been the Priceline guy for as long as we can remember. But now, his character is biting the dust ... literally. In what appears to be Shatner's final ad for Priceline, "The Negotiator" falls off a bridge -- but not before rescuing a group of vacationers from a plummeting bus.
"Save yourselves -- some money," he says, handing his cellphone to a passenger before plunging to his death. Not surprisingly, 80-year-old Shatner has sense of humor about his demise. "I'm in grief mode," Shatner jokingly told The Associated Press. "It’s not the first time I've had an iconic character die off," he added, referring, of course, to Kirk's death in 1994's "Star Trek: Generations."
Shatner has been shilling for the discount travel website for 14 years, but it was time for a change, Christopher Soder, CEO of Priceline.com North America, told the AP. "The challenge is harder to get people’s attention than it used to be. … So we decided to do something really over the top to get the message across," he said -- like killing off their 80-year-old spokesman. Soder also hinted that the ad may be shown during the Super Bowl.

My next favorite would have to be Betty White, an iconic figure I have admired for far too many years to admit to. Her humor and gentile persona have always held her above the tawdry behavior of so many who felt it necessary to resort to vulgarity to keep their career going.
This world will be less bright when we must say a final goodbye to those we have come to love and know so well.
