"FedEx - Colored Bars - Super Bowl" 
This 1998 Super Bowl ad from Federal Express (FedEx) shows the default color test bars with a message scrolling across about how an awesome ad was supposed to be playing, but the ad agency didn't use FedEx to ship the video to NBC (who aired the Super Bowl that year), so it never made it on TV.

Written Text

We apologize. You should be watching the new ad for EarthCo Insurance. It starred those lifeguards from Baywatch and a chorus line of singing Kangaroos. We even got Garth Brooks to do the music. It was very humorous. Unfortunately, a tape of the commercial didn't get to NBC on time. Imagine, $1.3 million is going the tubes all because some boob at our ad agency didn't send the commercial with FedEx. (Had they used FedEx, they would still be our ad agency.)
