Robin Williams appeared in an advertisement for the Nintendo 3DS remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. A few things:

  1. beard
  2. d’awwwww
  3. beard
  4. Yes, he did name his daughter after Zelda. Note that she was born in 1989, at which point only the NES games The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link had been released. So he got on board this naming-kids-after-video-game-characters thing pretty early.

Saw this ad for the Nexus S today. Nice nyan cat drop at 0:22 to build up internet nerd cred.

This is of course not the first tech commercial to harness the infinite power of internet memes for sales purposes.
