Bill Gates & Seinfeld ad: Part two much better

Posted in Microsoft by Conner Flynn on September 13th, 2008


I know that some of you were traumatized by the first installment of this geek comedy duo. The second chapter of the Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld saga is much better. The best part? Bill Gates doing the robot. Once again, like Seinfeld’s show, it’s pretty much about nothing. There’s no MS stuff being sold here.

They’ve got Seinfeld, why not get Kramer and George in on it too?
