More properly called "Celebrity Spokesman", as an endorsement requires the celebrity testify to his own use of the product, and this isn't always part of a celebrity's role in the commercial. The use of celebrities in product advertising seems to appear more in TV than in older media, such as radio, print and even cinema. Actors, athletes, musicians and other notables have lent their talents to TV commercials. Some, like Paul Newman, have gone so far as to create the products they sell. Due perhaps to its prevalence, in some jurisdictions it is required to indicate in a caption or subtitle if the celebrity endorser was compensated for the endorsement. That is to say, if you paid the celebrity to endorse your product, you had to mention that on the screen somewhere. Although most common on TV, a common literary equivalent is to see a brief quotation from one author enthusiastically endorsing the work of another one on the cover or in the opening pages of their latest work. Given that the usual dynamic is a very well-known author endorsing a lesser-known one ("John Anonymous is this generation's Master of the Macabre!" ~ Stephen King), whether the well-known author has even read the book in question is, of course, uncertain. Interestingly, the idea of celebrity endorsements dates back at least to Ancient Rome. Popular gladiators would regularly be paid to endorse various products and services. (In fact, Ridley Scott planned to have a scene in his film Gladiator where some of the arena fighters endorsed products, but changed his mind when he realized that the public wouldn't buy it as real.) I'm Not a Doctor, but I Play One on TV is a subset of this. Some celebrities willing to do endorsements but afraid of being seen as sellouts indulge in Japandering by appearing in foreign ads that are not meant to be seen by their home fanbase. See Character Celebrity Endorsement for endorsements from celebrities that are not, in fact, real. If it's a deceased celebrity, it's The Dead Rise to Advertise. See Advertising Campaigns for more. |

Parodied in Community with Subway a few times. They would also get into endorsing fake brands like Splingles, to the point of Troy sending Britta home when she tries to endorse a 'healthier' potato chip instead. This happens as well with normal Product Placement - they'd get fake brands from a prop company and place them like actual product placement. | |

Infamously, Genichiro Tenryu left All Japan Pro Wrestling to become a spokesman for eye glass company Megane Super. Then Megane executive Hachiro Tanaka turned around and launched his own pro wrestling promotion, Super World Of Sports, built around Tenryu. It wasn't until All Japan absolutely needed him after the NOAH exodus that they let Tenryu return and New Japan smartly kept Hiroshi Tanahashi around when he promoted McDonalds. | |

The Island of Misfit Christmas Specials had a running gag in which Peter Paltridge sometimes ended reviews by asking, "Does Mary Lou Retton like it?", then presenting a picture of the gymnast expressing either displeasure or enjoyment of the special. (The pictures consist of screenshots of advertisements she did in The '80s, Photoshopped to include characters from the specials.) Peter's review of Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa ended by revealing that Mary Lou Retton somehow died while watching the cartoon, so following reviews replaced her with more obscure "celebrities". | |

A quasi-example since he actually made it himself, but in Japan, the biggest selling point of the Mother trilogy was that it was the work of Shigesato Itoi, who was at the peak of his popularity at the time; most of the promotional material for MOTHER made a point of pointing out that it was his creation. In straighter examples, SMAP member Takuya Kimura was all over the advertising for MOTHER 2, and actress Kou Shibasaki discussing the emotional impact of the game was pretty much the entire television commercial campaign for Mother 3. | |

Homestar Runner: Parodied in the Strong Bad Email "suntan", where an Easter egg has Homsar offering a "Celebrity(?) Testimonial" for Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000. Near the end of "geddup noise", Strong Bad's retrospective on the career of the Geddup Noise (an anthropomorphized sound effect of a chair moving across the floor) says that "ol' Geddy" spends all his time snowboarding in the Coches mountains, only popping up in "the odd, or sometimes very odd" commercial. There's also Strong Bad's generic pitch in "Coach Z's 110%": "This product is a product I endorse... on my hat." |

Alexey Pajitnov, creator of Tetris, "introduces ClockWerx" on both its packaging and title screen. Many players and even reviewers took this to mean that he had designed it, where in fact he had absolutely no involvement beyond the endorsement. | |

The Pieces Lie Where They Fell: Played seriously in its sequel Picking Up the Pieces. Captain General Gentle Step had, at one point, given her endorsement to a bar - The Old Terminal Bar. When it refuses to serve one of her captains because he's a Changeling, she revokes her endorsement and gives it to another bar, The Blue Mountain, which has no problem with serving Changelings. | |

In the Season 4 finale of Legends of Tomorrow, the Legends build a theme park to counter the villains' Evil Plan. The Legends try to ask the Arrowverse Trinity (Green Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl) to help advertise their park. However, the Legends have previously dissed the Trinity back during the franchise's annual crossover, so in retaliation the latter group turned their own words back at them ("Hard Pass."). The Legends resort to dressing up as the Trinity for their commercial. | |
