Before your favorite celebrities were famous, they shilled for Pringles, and Burger King, and Super Nintendo. (Yes, that’s Paul Rudd.)

Yikes — Ashton Kutcher and PopChips are being criticized for an ad in which the TV star dons brownface and puts on an exaggerated Indian accent. The video has been taken down — but Kutcher’s character, Raj, lives on in this other PopChips spot.

PopChips CEO Keith Belling posted on the brand’s official site that the ad was intended to be “a light-hearted parody” and that the creative team behind it “did not intend to offend anyone. I take full responsibility and apologize to anyone we offended.”

Enough is ENOUGH! Samuel L. Jackson has had it with these monkey-fighting phones without Monday-to-Friday voice recognition software!

*For reference.

As Mad Men implied, The Rolling Stones really did write a jingle for Rice Krispies in the mid-’60s. Here’s the commercial in question — is it catchy enough to finally get “Zou Bisou Bisou” out of your head?

Meet the new voice of the Aflac Duck — which, by design, sounds an awful lot like the old voice of the Aflac Duck. Congratulations, Daniel McKeague of Hugo, Minnesota!

The weirdest anti-human trafficking PSA you’ll ever see involves Justin Timberlake, elevator music, Eva Longoria cooing over Piers Morgan, and a chainsaw. Bonus: These were released by Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore’s foundation.

Celebrity commercial of the day: Jason Bateman and Dave Koechner get cozy at Denny’s. As a bonus, the spot was made by DumbDumb, Bateman and Will Arnett’s production company.

Jennifer Aniston’s Smart Water commercial pokes fun at viral videos, but also clearly has ambitions toward virality (we’ve decided that’s a word) itself. Generally speaking, we think it works, though it’s maybe a little long. What about you—does the ad make you want to high-five Smart Water’s advertising team, then quench your thirst with their product?

You wanted to see an Old Navy commercial featuring a Kim Kardashian lookalike that will haunt your dreams forever? No?

Oh, sorry, too late.
