Whatever happened to that Dude, you’re getting a Dell guy?
For the longest time, this guy Ben Curtis was the main face behind the Dell ads. Sure he was a stoner, but he was a likable stoner. Who knew a stoner could become the spokesman for a major computer company?
Later on, Ben Curtis got into a little trouble with the law over some weed. After being phased out of the Dell ads, the Dell dude seemed to disappear. However, that’s not the case. It looks like he’s been busy promoting Gameznflix. In addition, Ben has made appearances in the videogame Bully, and an episode of Law & Order this year.
Here’s some info regarding the arrest and the connection to his contract with Dell.
I really enjoyed watching these ads back in the day. Gateway never had anything this entertaining in their ads.
Hey, Dell, bring the Dell Dude back! I’d loved to see him kick those Mac vs. PC guys’ asses.
Here are a few videos
