Non Sequitur Microsoft Ad Featuring Jerry Seinfeld & Bill Gates

by Scott Beale on September 4, 2008 · 9 comments

The first new Microsoft ad in the recently launched $300 million advertising campaign by Crispin Porter + Bogusky (CP&B) debuted tonight featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates. It’s not clear what they are trying to sell, but my guess it has something to do with shoes and churros.

The highlight of the ad is when Bill Gates’ infamous 1977 mug shot makes an appearance.
