Charles Barkley goes around composing a Dr. Seuss-style poem to his favorite Tex-Mex fast food, yet we never see him take a bite. The odd visuals include cheerleader angels, crooked basketball hoops, frenzied paparazzi, and Lamar Odom, who similarly never takes a bite.
Barkley was a great player and is an always-entertaining commentator, but this ad was a big miss for Barkley and the Bell, neither of which look back on the experience all that fondly. Taco Bell moved on quickly, but not before burning a big pile of cash to create this ad.

When “Clash of Clans: Revenge” player (and famous actor) Liam Neeson gets punked in his favorite mobile game, he begins monologuing exactly how he will ruin the other player's life, taking notes from his famous monologue from "Taken".
He's standing in the middle of a shop waiting for his coffee, and when the barista mispronounces his name, he gets a pretty hot stink-eye from Neeson as well. AngryNeeson52 then launches his counter-attack on his hapless gaming opponent.
