What's your favorite commercial (past or present)?

Oh gee, so many...
One of my recent faves was for National Insurance, a "Life Comes at Your Fast" ad - this couple buys a new house, and the guy uncorks some champagne. The cork flies and hits the chimney, breaking off a piece. When the chimney just slowly topples off of the house and the couple stands dumbstruck, I lose it everytime. I'm even laughing as I type. Hilarious.

One of my recent favs is with the goat ... Tha Aflac commercial. They guy is asking the the boss what kind of insurance the job has and, at every question, the goat says naaa. The last question he goes "naaaa naaa naaa" and shakes his head. The the boss makes him look like the Aflac duck, and the guy goes, "Nice try, boss." And the goat replies "Aflac" trying to sound like the duck. But it doesn't come out like that.
I think it's cute. Anything with animals in it that's funny, I like (without them getting injured, that is).

That was good. But the beer should have kept on movin'.

I have 2 right now. There's a Dentyne Ice commercial I love because of the song "Stuttering". I've been listening to it on the band's myspace page since I found out who sings it.
The other is, unfortunately a California Milk commercial where the cows are trying to teach the duck how to meditate by saying "mooooooo" instead of "Ommmmm".
In the past there was a commercial, I can't even remember what it was for now, where a guy was trying to bring his g/f flowers on roller skates. Must have been in San Francisco because it was on a huge hill and he was trying to put on the brakes and flew past the house. Made me die laughing every time!

Those cavemen commercials for Geico were pretty funny, now Geico commercials are pretty lame.
One of my favs though was the ones with the Budweiser clydesdales playing football. I used to ride a Budweiser clydesdale reject by the way, her name was Siren, she was HUGE, I rode her bareback easily, was a total sweety, was rejected because one foot was black. I love horses, but clydesdales are my favorite...or perchrons, not sure which. Budweiser clydesdales are so beautiful, I am always awed by their majectic appearence, and they are so sweet!
The picture show is not Siren, but it looks just like her. That is one of the real Budweiser clydesdales, imagine that horse with one black leg and you have Siren. Okay, I got a bit off topic, my favorite commercial is any one with the clydesdales!

The best Clydesdale football ad was the one with the lamb streaking through the middle of the game. I was gone when the lamb wiggled his butt at the crowd.
Those Clydesdales are beautiful. They keep a lot of them at Sea World and I've had my picture taken with one. They are HUGE! I also got to see the original "Clydesdale donkey" (anyone remember that ad?).

who sings that song? i always hear music on commercials that i like, i wished they say who the artists were... esp target commercials.
i love those meditating cows too! the CA milk commercials have all been pretty funny. what good marketing, i could be fooled that those cows like it.

Speaking of commercial songs... I love the Old Navy sweater song ("...if you are chilly... here take my sweater... cuz I looooove the waaaay you call me babyyyy...") (It's called The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson and she's actually performing in my area in a couple weeks... not sure if we'll get to go tho :()
I wouldn't buy their product, but those Febreeze commercials crack me up. I like the one where the lady puts on the ski mask (enjoying the freshly-Febreezed scent) and picks up a box in her living room and stands in front of her window looking like a robber to the neighbors passing by. Don't know why that one cracks me up so much.
Feelinsoreal, those "life comes at you fast" commercials are hilarious... I can't even remember them now. Argh.
