DBZ inspired Zune commercial?

I'm not sure what it's from, but I was browsing download.com's music section, when an ad caught my eye.

For a split second I could've sworn I saw these little critters performing the fusion dance, so I had to be sure. I checked the video again, and there's no way it's anything else.

Is this from something specific, or made for the commercial?

Looks like it is DBZ to me as well. The music is annoying, but that is highly interesting.

When I first saw that ad on TV, I definitely thought I saw the fusion dance. Now that I can replay it over and over, there's no doubt that is or was 100% inspired by DBZ's fusion dance.

It wasn't.

I saw the commercial play a few times during the NBA playoffs and thought I was seeing things the first time. It's funny that they added it and how many people probably recognized it

Isn't there a picture/video of some Anime just before that? It looked like it to me but it's too blurry for me to tell.
