Microsoft commercial pokes fun of ‘Double Rainbow’ meme

If you don’t know what Double Rainbow is, then I seriously advise you to take a trip over to Know Your Meme or even Wikipedia’s entry for that matter. Double Rainbow is a YouTube video uploaded by Hungrybear9562 in early January of 2010 and has since earned more than 13 million views; he has appeared on talk shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live! and now in a Microsoft commercial. Paul Velasquez, also known as YouTube user Hungrybear9562, stars in the Windows Live Photo Gallery posted below.

Much better than the Internet Explorer 8 commercial that Microsoft did, where they played off a certain pornographic meme to highlight InPrivtate Browsing (I implore you to not look up the IE 8 OMGIGP Commercial, but you’re going to do it anyway). However, usually memes die out when they hit mainstream… are we ready to say goodbye to the Double Rainbow just yet?

Thanks to Sakai for finding this one.
