Best TV Production Company Promos
I don't know if "Production Company Promos" is the right term for these, but they are those little 2 second promo spots for a production company that appear at the end of the show.
House - Bad Hat Harry Productions ... That's some bad hat, Harry.
Family Ties - UBU Productions ... Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog
Smallville - Millar Gough Ink ... Red Ink Bottle Shattering
Lost - Bad Robot
Some of them are pretty darn clever. They only have a couple seconds to say something that sticks. Like a hyperkenetic commercial on steroids.
Any others?

I liked the David E. Kelley Productions one with the old lady in the rocking chair getting knocked over from something flying out of the TV and saying "You STINKER!"
Also good is Joss Whedon's Mutant Enemy which has a cutout alien going across the screen right to left saying "Grrr. Arrrrgh." (Trivia - this was changed only once after the the season 2 finale.)
Finally the Gracie Films (The Simpsons) one with the person in the darkened theater saying "Shhh!" followed by "The King of Wishful Thinking" sound-alike ditty.

-season 1 was sort of a blander 'grr arrgh'.
-season 3's 'Amends' featured christmas bells, and the demon was wearing a santa hat.
-season 3's 'Graduation Day, part 2' featured the demon wearing a graduation cap.
season 2's ANGEL premiere 'Judgement' featured the demon's voice reverbed to sound like it was on a concert stage.
Season 6's 'Once More with Feeling' featured the demon singing the 'grr arrgh' in an operatic voice.
Season 7's 'Chosen' featured the demon turning to face the audience.
I'm sure I missed a few, but the point is, it has changed more often than the season 2 finale's 'oh I need a hug' spoken in 'Becoming, part 2'.

I like a lot of the ones mentioned. I can't remember the company for the life of me, but I like the one where the kid points at a tree and says "what's that mean?"
