Dom DeLuise and the NCR PC4 (1984) 2 of 12

The NCR PC4 is a computer that's "compatible with people," according to the ad. That is, it's compatible with doctors, accountants, and construction workers who look exactly like Dom DeLuise (and presumably are cashing a big check from NCR). Most people who didn't look like Dom DeLuise found that they weren't so compatible with this PC, which saw a quick death.
