Comedian Andy Samberg is the newest celebrity to star in a Microsoft Windows Phone ad. The spot, "Meet Andy" is Samberg telling us how he loves the cinema as the funny shots a film from his living that stars his feet.
It's easy to see how much Andy Samberg loves movies when you look at his Windows Phone. The live tiles he's pinned to his start screen make it easy for him to write scripts, make a soundtrack or find the latest movies playing in theaters.
A commercial/web film for Bing pays tribute to the top news and entertainment stories, triumphs, disasters and celebrates a few unsung heroes of 2011.

CWTV is bringing the 90's back with Stupid Hype, a hilarious live-action web series that screams 90's nostalgia. In the 90's, hip hop was all about color, flash and funky fresh beats, from parachute pants to dope dance moves.
In the latest ad promoting the show, "Let's Get Laid" (no that isn't a typo) Stupid Hype chronicles the (mis)adventures of Hype, played by Hart of Dixie Star's Wilson Bethel, who after a tragic breakdancing accident, becomes a rising rap star in 1990. The series features original music from Bethel and his super-producer brother Charlie Bethel, aka Chuck Wild, and is directed by Dugan O'Neal. Look for guests appearance from legendary hip hop icons Flavor Fav and even more Vanilla Ice-esque beats in coming episodes.
Stupid Hype is sponsored by Windows 8 and airs on CWTV.com every Tuesdays. To watch full episodes of the web only series you can check it out here.

Microsoft launches another ad campaign today promoting Internet Explorer 10 with this new commercial entitled "Do You Know This Guy" along with a microsite The Browser You Love To Hate.
In other Microsoft ad spotting, check out their attack ad, Scroogled as Bing still tries to take on Google, see it HERE .
Microsoft today launched a "Don’t Get Scroogled" ad campaign with a web video ad and a website asking people to share stories of bad Google search results. Sadly, this attack ad on Google will back fire, early results seem to be bad for Bing and Microsoft as most comments on their Facebook page and YouTube (ironically funny as the video is uploaded on said Scroogler owned YouTube) are favoring Google, looks like Microsoft Scroogled themselves again.
The website reads:
In the beginning, Google preached, “Don’t be evil“—but that changed on May 31, 2012. That’s when Google Shopping announced a new initiative. Simply put, all of their shopping results are now paid ads. In their under-the-radar announcement, Google admits they’ve now built “a purely commercial model” that delivers listings ranked by “bid price.” Google Shopping is nothing more than a list of targeted ads that unsuspecting customers assume are search results.
The attack ad is too much, with comments like “Google > Bing… Attack ads just show how desperate they are for users” and “Bing is hopeless.. negative marketing will get you nowhere.” You can check out the Scroogled ad above and decide for yourself.
See how the Abominable Snow Monster of the North Pole (he prefers Bumble) uses Live Tiles to get the information he wants on his new Windows Phone in this commercial, oh and he's big on speed dating.
Microsoft is pumping out a few Windows 8-powered SmartPhone TV ads featuring celebrities Gwen Stefani and Jessica Alba, all part of the Microsoft's "Meet the new Windows Phone, Reinvented Around You" ad campaign (spots below).
In another parody/spoof ad that can be filed under better than the real ads, comes this commercial created by Cinesaurus entitled Surface vs. iPad. The parody spot is obviously favoring heavily on Microsoft's side as the Surface tablet gives the iPad a good old beating techy style.
