When it comes to hawking products, comedy is right up there with sex appeal. Even the most straight-laced, white bread companies feel the need to equip their ads with a zinger. Heck, because of Geico, every insurance company is out there competing for the funniest possible commercials, and comedic actors are lining up around the block to be involved. For 99% of “funny” commercials out there, all any commercial actor needs to master is their awkward high five. It’s our era’s “slipping on a banana peel,” and, celebrity or no celebrity, it seems to be the only way to button a commercial. Not these diamonds in the rough though. These 13 celebrity commercial appearances were actually pretty funny.
Tide’s got the entire advertising industry pegged.
![Funny Celeb Commercials DAVID HARBOUR's It's a Tide Ad. The 2018 Super Bowl commercial had Harbour parody every type of commercial out there.

One highly unlikely comedy duo.
