I wouldn't call them my favorites or anything, but I'm really digging those ESPN NBA playoff commercials that feature a band (I think it's the Black Eye Peas) along with cameos by Santana and George Gervin. Very catchy song and I really enjoy it every time it comes on. My 3 yr old daughter loves it too, as well as the Tim Duncan NBA Finals ad that has him getting analysis from Dr J. She likes to copy his "I'm not listening! La La La" bit over and over. Thanks Tim!

The funniest commercial is the Nutri-Grain 'I Feel Great' - it's hilarious 
One that sticks in my head is the Office Max commercial with the guy with the afro delivering supplies to the song 'Rubberband Man"

I posted this in an older thread. A few of my favorites commercials are the ones created by Cliff Freeman. Here are a couple of my favorites you can download:
Budget Rent-A-Car: "Propulsion"
Little Caesars Pizza: "Training Camp"

The Victoria's Secret commercials (ANY of 'em!) also work on me. Obvious, yes, but they capture my attention, fully and undivided.
Who is that model on the Aveeno cleansing fluid commercial? The brunette who looks like she's a bit older than most models on TV (meaning that she may be in her mid to late twenties)?

Nothing at the moment, but in March the Nike commercial with the "What If?" theme was great. Randy Johnson bowling
In the last couple of years the Shatner Priceline commercials where he "sang" were priceless.
Speaking of singing the NFL Network commercial that ran during the Super Bowl where stars (who were not in the Super Bowl) sang "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow."
The car stereo (forget the manufacturer) commercial where a young guy is driving and getting into "Another One Bites The Dust" while his older passenger looks on in disgust. Pan to a wide shot and the car is a hearse

Great commercial. Watched that one every time it was on.
Also liked the Budwieser play on the wassup commercials with the white guys in a bar with a cowboy looking guy there. They asked him "how you doing?" And he would respond "I'm FINE! Just got back from the airport..." this big long story. Then another guy walks in and asks the same thing, and he goes into the same story.

I have to agree on the Gap commercial with the tank tops. That by far is my favorite commercial right now.
But I also like the Miller commercials with the debate for the President of Beer where the guy keeps getting interrupted and then talks about the whole thing being "a travesty, a sham and a mockery, it's a traveshamockery!!"
Always makes me crack up even though I have seen it tons of times.

The commercial with Duncan and his game face with Amex cracks me up everytime.
J.Kidd with "eyes behind his head" and the commerical with the fat goalie who fits into the entire net blocking it, also are great.
