Best commercial(s) of all time?

[MNDude]

We all see tens of thousands of commercials in our lifetime, but there's probably a few that really standout... Where's The Beef?, Apple's 1984, Mikey likes Life cereal, etc. What's your favorite commercial(s) of all time.

LOL! Special effects are awesome, aren’t they?

[ViLaLuz]

The 60s version wasn’t offensive either.

So God Made a Farmer

I remember that commercial! It was a funny poke at Soviet choice.

“Watch me, while I flick my BICK!” (cigarette lighter ad)

“He really got STROKED this morning!” (Disposable razor ad)

Innuendo ads ruled the air waves then.

According to a TV Guide article, it was just the car body on the top of that stone pillar. It was placed there in parts, a mechanic assembled it and crawled under the car for the shoot.
The wind then picked up, and the helicopter could not get close enough to lift it off so the model and the mechanic had to sleep that night in the car till the next day.

Nothing improper happened.

Speaking of Chrysler, Here's one from 1958 touting the new Push button Torqueflyte transmission. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but those buttons tended to come apart in the dash and could be a PITA to repair.

Those Chrysler products undoubtedly inspired the song Pushbutton Automobile by the Medallions.

“From the land of sky blue waters...”

[Born to Conserve]

Nope, I got it right.

VW Commercial “The Force”

Anyone remember the LIVE COMMERCIAL with (I think) Betty Furness?

She is advertizing a refrigerator and when she pulls the handle the door fails to open. She pulls and pulls, then the camera goes in for a close up of her face and she continues to tell all the good things about the refrigerator, but you can HEAR a stage hand struggling to open the door. Then the camera moves out, and you can see the refrigerator with the door opened.

Remember the JELLO commercial with the cartoon Chinese kid trying to eat Jello with chopsticks?

I thought there was also one for Welches Wine but I must be confusing it with their Welches frozen grape juice ad and a different Welches Wine ad.

I like watermelon too.

Is it racist to like barbecue?

Hamms - Dad used to drink that. Dad once drank nearly any brand of beer.

[Ditter]

That is sick! How do they think that will make you buy their car?
