I love how the slogan fits so perfectly with this ad: Lige over grænsen, meaning either “Just exactly crossing the line” or (since it’s a Danish shopping site based in the very north of Germany) “Just across the border”.

One of my all-time favorites is the Smart Beep:

YouTube - Smart Beep Blind Date

[edit]

And another great, banned (in America) commercial:

Gross and retarded. If you want to watch some sexist commercial, Clorox Laundry timeline commercial is heaps better.

They've been showing nudity on European TV for at least 45 years (since the first time I went to Europe).

It's no big deal over there. We Americans are such prudes.

When was a teenager there were a bunch of soap commercials and posters out that showed very topless girls. It made it difficult to maintain proper decorum, at times.

Juvenile and sophomoric, but intentionally humorous. I wouldn't call it sexist unless you endorse that sort thing as "typical, everyday behavior."

My vote for the best commercial ever made (back in the 80s?). An old CEO is sitting at his desk and his secretary says the divorce lawyer says he's in big trouble, he shrugs. Then the ceo gets another message saying big trouble with the IRS, he shrugs again. Then an assistant walks in and very casually says "Oh ya the computer is down, no big deal right?" And the CEO goes into a mild panic.
