I like the Clorex commercials. Especially the one with the little boys using tape on the ground to measure who can make it the furthest.
 
Favorite- Kia Soul commercials with the Hamsters. Only car commercial thatā€™s ever made me want to actually buy that car. (I like the Cadillac commercial where they used Led Zepelins ā€˜Rock and Rollā€™, but the only Caddy I ever was interested in was the CTS-V when it had the manual transmission- nothing to do with the commercial).

Least favorites.

Carlā€™s Jr. commercials featuring skimpily dressed women. Stopped going to Carlā€™s for a long time.

Current Bud Light commercial pushing all the debunked feminist myths. I donā€™t always drink beer, but when I do it wonā€™t be an Anheuser-Busch product. I prefer my refreshment without political mythology.

I still find the State Farm ā€œI Read It On the Internetā€ commercial hilarious.

However Iā€™m not as much a fan of the ā€œIā€™m Never Gonnaā€¦ā€ one. I keep thinking, that since the guy ends the commercial on a couch with his wife and kids saying ā€œIā€™m never letting goā€ that about 10 years later, heā€™ll be doing exactly that, ditching his wife and kids, minivan, and suburban house, buying a flashy sports car, and running off with a girl half his age, to repeat the cycle again. But maybe thatā€™s just me being cynical. šŸ˜›

I also like the Campbell Soup commercial that features a snowman coming in from the cold, eating soup, then meltingā€¦to reveal a smiling little boy inside.

As well as the ā€œM+Mā€™s meet Santaā€ one, when the M+Ms and Santa both collapse in shock. ā€œHeā€™sā€¦REAL!ā€ ā€œTheyā€™reā€¦REAL!ā€ thud (The quotes may not be quite accurate but the fainting part is.)

Iā€™ve seen that commercial several times, but I just NOW figured out what theyā€™re measuring :bigyikes:
 
ā€œThatā€™s a spicy meatball!ā€

ā€œTime to make the donuts.ā€

ā€œā€˜Ancient Chinese secret,ā€™ eh?ā€

ā€œIā€™m a Pepper, heā€™s a Pepper, sheā€™s a Pepper, weā€™re all Peppers, wouldnā€™t you like to be a Pepper, too?ā€

ā€œTwo all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.ā€

ā€œIā€™d like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmonyā€¦ā€

I could go on and on.
 
The Hershey Kisses commercial where a bell choir of kisses play ā€œWe Wish You a Merry Christmas.ā€ Magical.

I guess people learned how to wash their necks?
 
Most of the ā€œMayhemā€ commercials. I especially like the toddler in the car one.

I know this would not be a popular choice, but one thatā€™s a guilty pleasure was a Super Bowl commercial featuring Bob Dole talking about enjoying life on a new level thanks to his little blue friend. At the end he is shown drinking from a can of Pepsi. I remember my mother starting to flip out over this one (for obvious reasons) but then very quickly calmed down as she didnā€™t want her kids to think she was losing her mind over Pepsi. I was old enough to get the joke and I still smile thinking about the ā€œgotchaā€.

The kid in the Vader costume trying to move the car with the Force.

Shootā€¦there is more but itā€™s not coming to me right now.
