Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld’s Second Microsoft Commercial: Longer and Weirder

The first Microsoft commercial featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld established them as oddball buddies in a commercial running one minutes and thirty seconds. In the follow-up, they’re living with a suburban family as an exercise in being in touch with ordinary people and weirdness ensues.
