| Feb 20, 2015 at 6:18 | comment | added | Shiz Z. | A fun example of cross-marketing: Before/during release of Anchorman 2, Will Ferrell appeared as Ron Burgundy in ads for the Dodge Durango, and also was interviewed in the Burgundy character on Conan O'Brien's show, on which Conan mentioned seeing Burgundy in ads for the Dodge Durango, which Burgundy acknowledged and then said "it is a terrible car." :) | |

| Feb 20, 2015 at 4:50 | comment | added | CuriousWebDeveloper | @Catija I'm talking about the actor / advertising company acting alone, years later. Like "Hey Leonardo, wanna run this scene for us as a Titanic look-alike joke in our commercial?" | |
| Feb 20, 2015 at 4:47 | comment | added | Catija | I know that... and the example I posted isn't an ad for The Big Bang Theory But there's this thing called cross advertising... it's how you end up with cartoon characters in Happy Meals... | |

| Feb 20, 2015 at 4:36 | comment | added | Catija | Do you mean outside of officially licensed commercials for sponsored items? Because that happens all the time.... I mean, there's a commercial for a computer brand featuring Jim Parsons and I'm pretty sure he's being Sheldon in the commercial... though that's much less overt as that's partially just who he is. youtube.com/watch?v=OhE3vj4ffr4 | |
