I have to look at a lot of commercials for my grad classes and I was wondering what others like out there.
Do you have a recent fave or fave of all time? Got a link?

Recent favourite would be the Snickers ad with Mr T in the tank  .

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

My two favorite commercials that I can think of at the moment:
1) The "Jack raps with the young people" Jack in the Box commercial. Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere. It has Jack sitting with these kids in a circle, like boring adults do when they want to look hip, and taking questions from them. One of the girls goes, "So…I was wondering…how do you know if you're a lesbian?" Jack kind of sits there stunned for a minute and then goes on to talk about Jack in the Box burgers, and then the girl is like, "Thanks, that helps."
I actually think most of the Jack in the Box ads are brilliant, but that one was my favorite.
2) That Clear Blue pregnancy test ad that was on recently. YouTube - Pregnancy Test

Wow, y'all are showin all kinds of new stuff. Honestly, I had to come up with 2 ads a week for 10 weeks and thought I'd seen everything, but the regions sure speak volumes!
Thanks. This is pretty cool!

Are the Ka ones real? British ads tend to be 45s. I'm just curious.

It's not a TV ad, but I like the Coors Light radio commercial where they're celebrating the guy who invented the taco salad - he managed to make a 14,000 calorie salad. It's funny. To me.
Does anyone remember when Super Bowl commercials didn't suck?

Those BUD light commercials are genius. Generally not used on TV as the are 60 s radio spots... but here you'll see it fleshed out... Bud Light Taco

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

I always enjoyed the Nextel ad with the guys dancing to Salt-n-Pepa music. They get interrupted by a boss/supervisor, who wants answers to 3 questions ASAP. They use their Nextels to answer his questions in 4 seconds and go back to their hysterical dancing...I have it on my machine somewhere

OK, I think this is my new favorite commercial ever. Macs is a Canadian convenience store, and they are selling, uhm, juice.
