Best commercials

Post by Nickswitz »

What's the best commercial you've seen. For whatever reason you think it's amazing.

Mine is this Citi Bank one, just the thought makes me smile.

An advert from my childhood. I found it both hilarious and slightly disturbing at the same time:

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to
know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.”

My favorite commercial ever. The catchiness of the song-and-dance routine, the gleeful lack of irony... it's just perfect.

Plus, an always-welcome appearance of "Making It" songster, and American Werewolf in London David Naughton. :)

Here's another current one I like; partly because I remember the song when it was first on the charts, partly because of the most street hamsters ever.

*EDIT* I especially love the wheathead hamster drummer at about 0:16. :lol:

One of the most successful advertisements in history.

Would you believe South Africa asked for a version of this advert with only white people in it? Talk about missing the point. The Coca Cola company rather sharply declined the request.
