Today’s biggest Hollywood stars had humble beginnings.
They had to be humble in order to appear in these hilarious and embarrassing commercials, after all.
Fortunately, that is all behind them.
Thanks to the internet, we get the chance to watch them over and over and over again.
Here are the funniest commercials that celebrities got their start in, but I’m sure they’d like to forget about.
1. Brad Pitt
The speed with which Brad Pitt ate those Pringles in front of that girl should go down in history.
I guess he wanted to go all out and show how good these chips are.
The problem is, I don’t recall Pringles being that tasty.
2. Michael Jackson and ….
Carlton Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is the kid in the red jacket moonwalking like he’s the King of Pop!
Every time I see this commercial with Alfonso Ribeiro, I laugh. His dance moves in the sitcom are just as entertaining as those in the 90s.
Not to mention his priceless expression when he runs into Michael Jackson:
3. Ben Affleck
Is it just me, or does Ben Affleck appear to have forgotten how to speak English in this Burger King commercial?
Instead of thanking the employee for his crush’s food, he slicks his hair back and winks.
Then he drops the order at her house and RUNES AWAY to answer a phone call from his father.
4. Leonardo DiCaprio
The sweetest aspect of Leo’s early acting career is that his mother pushed him to appear in cheesy commercials in the hopes that he would one day make it big in Hollywood.
You’d have to be living under a rock not to recognize him now, so I guess appearing in these commercials paid off.
Most of the commercials he’s appeared in are cringe-worthy, but this one for Kraft Cheese is the worst.
Am I the only one who felt extremely uncomfortable by the amount of times his fake mom touched him?
5. Morgan Freeman
Did God just say “that’s some good Nicotine” and “stay black and long” in Bruce Almighty?
Please do Morgan a favor and delete this commercial.
You haven’t seen anything yet if you think these commercials are funny…
6. Tobey Maguire
Young Tobey screaming “Oh yes” and “Ha ha” while playing Atari’s game Lynx in a school bathroom will stay with you forever.
If I saw this commercial before seeing him in Spider-Man, I would probably pass on the film.
7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Did Joseph just call his father “Kiddo”?
You can dislike Pop Tarts all you want, but you can’t deny that the actor in this commercial is adorable.
8. Elijah Wood
I’m sure Frodo would have loved some cheesy broccoli on his epic journey in The Lord of the Rings, but I highly doubt that young Elijah loved that pile of mess infront of him.
The National Dairy Farmers picked the cutest kid in the 90s to star in their commercial, but I don’t think it made children want to eat healthy.
If this commercial was about grilled cheese, it would make up for the fact that Elijah’s lines were awful.
9. Mila Kunis
This Telephone Tammy commercial is terrifying. The unsettling doll wishes to reveal a secret to Mila. The truth is that she adores her.
But they’re in the same room, so I’m not sure why they need a phone…
Anyway, they kiss, and the rest of your life will be filled with nightmares.
These last five commercials will have you in stitches…
10. Kristen Stewart
The Twilight actress got a lot of hate for her role playing Bella Swan, but I think the worst acting she’s done is in this commercial for Porsche.
Why she raised her eyebrows at the end is beyond me…
11. Courtney Cox
Before Courtney Cox landed the role of Monica Geller in the 90s hit sitcom Friends, she was “talking to people straight” about the wonders of Tampax Tampons.
Well, I guess someone had to do it.
If starring in a commercial like this meant that I’d be super famous like her, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
