The closest to commercials

The closest to commercials I've seen like this (which, yes, was very cool) in the US was DirecTV in 2009, where they had the original actors from famous movies come in and recreate a scene in-character, while breaking the fourth wall to promote the satellite commercial. Some examples included William Shatner as Captain Kirk in "Star Trek IV- The Undiscovered Country", and Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown from "Back to the Future, Pt 1"

Hollywood needs to let loose more often and do things like that [again]; it sends a tingle up your spine when you see these actors recreating those iconic characters!
