I love that Best Buy’s “Phone Innovators” Superbowl spot has some awesome nerd cred, along with a jab at Alex Baldwin’s plane incident.

Featuring:

“Philippe Kahn, creator of one of the first cameraphones;

Ray Kurzweil, inventor of text-to-speech;

Daniel Henderson, creator of video sharing;

Chris Barton and Avery Wang, two of the founders of Shazam;

Jim McKelvey, creator of Square Mobile Pay;

Kevin Systrom, creator of Instagram;

Neil Papworth, creator of the text message; and

Paul and David Bettner, creators of Words with Friends.

In the ad, the Words With Friends creators take a lighthearted jab at Alec Baldwin who was kicked off an American Airlines flight in December 2011 for refusing to stop playing the addictive word game.”
