This one cracked me up when it was on. It didn't get much airplay in my area.

Doubt any US folk will have seen this ad, but it was part of a series of ads for Carling Black Label Lager.

The ad starts with footage from the classic film The Dambusters recreating the 1943 RAF raid to destroy German dams via the Barnes Wallis bouncing Bomb. As the pilot drops his bomb it bounces on the water towards the dam. But a German spots the bomb and dashes out making a soccer type save. The plane goes round again and drops another bomb. With the German making an even more spectacular save. Several attempts and phenonmenal saves later. The RAF crew fly off muttering to each other that they bet the German drinks Carling Black Label.

The advert series being reknowned for claiming exagerated capabilities being bestowed on its drinkers.

2- Southwest Airlines "Wii" Ad - Sure the ad has really nothing to do with flying, but it cracks me up every time.

I think this is one of the most memorable yet simple ads I've seen in a few years. Always makes me laugh:

My favorite 1-2 punch from consecutive superbowls:

Pets.com's "Please Don't Go"

ETrade's response to the dot com bubble burst (including pets.com):

I also like the Cadillac CTS commercials with the Grey's Anatomy chick.

I loved the one I saw during the Pats game tonight with guy who uses his fat ass as his 'receipt' for his lunch-expense report.

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't get Eastern Motors commercials regularly. Just search for them on youtube.
