I can only think of Matt Damon's somewhat notorious Crypto.com commercial, which has been lampooned so many times. There are others, I'm sure.

Wow, they dressed him up exactly like Lyle Lanley singing Springfield a monorail song.

Funny thing is that there was a disclaimer at the end of that one.

The way these scams work is they use celebrity names and images without permission. Completely different from the Matt Damon case and similar cases, where the celebrity is actually involved.
