Microsoft: Jerry Seinfeld Meets Bill Gates Video
In the first ad released by Crispin Porter+Bogusky for Microsoft, Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld meet serendipitously at Shoe Circus, a Payless ShoeSource-type store. Jerry trades shoe knowlegde with Bill, getting back insights into the future of technology…
Thus ingratiated with one of the world’s richest men, Seinfeld poses the question we would all ask, given the chance: “Are they ever gonna come up with something that’ll make our computers moist and chewy like cake so we can eat ‘em while we’re working?” Gates gives Seinfeld a subtle but sassy little ass-shake to denote “yes.”
The ad is part of a series featuring Seinfeld, who reportedly made $10 Million for his appearances, almost 3% of the total Microsoft’s yearly advertising budget. See more Microsoft future products.

I like it. It is typical of Jerry and Bill - an ad about nothing…
Good marketing idea; better than the suave Steve
