Best Commercials

Hi guys!! This isnt really media discussion.. So I posted it in General talk. I found an awesome commercial and was wondering if there were any other commercials you guys have found that are cool to.

No need to really talk about it, just post whatever commercials you have found that strike you as very cool or funny.

My favorite part of that is the windshield wiper scene.

My favorite commericals are the Haagen Daz ones. They are so simplistic, I run to the TV to watch them. The music, the scenes depicted make me want to buy the expensive sweet stuff. But I dont.

I also really like those older American Airlines commercials. The ones where the entire commercial is done by hand, and animated. It's set to George Gershwin's (my favorite composer) Raphsody in Blue.

I cant really remember what company it was, but I thought the one commerical where the guy is licking the prongs on a mixer, then the scene changes to the company logo or something, then you hear the mixer turn on and him shouting. Then theres another one similar to it where the guy drops his wedding ring or something into the drain of a sink, and then the wife reaches to turn on the light but reaches the wrong switch, then it changes scenes but you dont hear the grinding....

There havent really been any other ones than those that really get my attention.

^ hahaha Molson has good ones, Like the "Always brings his girlfriend-friend" commercial, or the "always tells the truth friend". Nearly all beer commercials are superior to otehr commercials, but the honda commercial in post #1 is really cool, not funny, but interesting.

The new Molson commericals will never compare to such classics as
-The Rant (My name is Joe and I am CANADIAN)
-500 miles (The american that walks from his house to Canada just to buy a case then drops it at the border and has to go back all to the music of 500 miles)
-Molson Canadian Anthem (I am, you know I am, I am CANADIAN)
-the two Beaver commercials (a Canadian sets his pet beaver on an american who mocks him)
-office hockey fight (Canadian jerseys and fights an american co-worker hockey style after being mocked)

The Vonage.com ones are pretty funny the first time you see them, especially the one with the little kid who slings the baseball bat into the glass door.

The new Tacoma commercial is pretty stupid, but I still love it. It's where the meteor hits the truck and about 5 seconds later the truck reapears and all the guys are shouting.

Last, the Sportcenter commericials on ESPN are pretty funny. The new one with the rain delay during the show was pretty good.

I agree, the SportCenter commercials are definitely some of the best out there.
