Best commercial ever?
 

Old but totally appreciated: Cog

Anyone got some other goodies?

I don't know if I would call this the best commercial ever, but I would definitely say it's one of the best from this year:

Sprint Crime Deterrent Phone

Apparently it was a Super Bowl commercial, but I didn't first see it until about three months ago. I instantly fell in love with it though, and I could honestly watch it all day (I have actually sat and watched it like five times in a row before).

Ok, that first commercial with the Honda was awesome! It was so awesome, I had to watch it twice!

I don't have any links. There was a transformer type commercial I saw once though. It was good. I will see if I can find it.

This commercial wins hands down:Skittles

The commercial still airs on television, but I still laugh everytime I see it.

There was an old advert for Pirelli tyres with a BMW driving through a bizarre environment full of S&M characters to the tune of "Venus in Furs". It was and still is one of the best adverts ever made, although I can't find a video link anywhere.

I remember that Accord commercial. It's my understanding that every part in that commercial was actually taken from an Accord station wagon and that it took well over 50 takes to get just right. Fucking amazing.

My favorite commercial of all time I watched back in 1998. It's a Pirelli commercial.

The main reason why I used to like it so much back then is because it was done to the music of The Chemical Brothers.

I like this commericial a lot: Honda ELEMENT

One of the better commericials for it's time.

Best commercial? If only I could remember them all. I think the Bud Light Battlebot one from one of the Super Bowls was pretty funny. And the current Yaris commericals are great.

Just watch this. If you don't like this commercial, something is wrong with you.

Then I suppose there must be something wrong with me. I thought that was a pretty dumb commercial when I first saw it... and continue to think that.

A while ago, I saw a Toyota commercial with a cardboard cutout, a jogger, and a sea monster. That was pretty good.

You mean this one? Yeah. It's pretty good. :p

Double Post:
Also... Guys... Let's all give our infinite props to Infernal Monkey for having discovered this one a while back.

REALLY BIG AD!

Yeah, that's the one.

I saw that one the same night as the other one. If not anything else, it's amusing and creative.

Ah, I found the ad I was looking for. The capture quality is terrible though. I also goofed up, it was Dunlop.

Here's a funny one.

I have to say my favorite commercial of all time is a Nike ad that ran during the 2002 winter olympics. It's called "Move" - amazing stuff. I just love how it all flows together.

One of my favorites is the Citroen C4 dancing transformer commercial.

Also, one of my favourite beer commercials. Made me cry the first time I saw it.

Hey! That's the one I was talking about! Well, at least someone found it and posted it.:edgarrock:

Hooray Beer!

I also remember seeing this one on some commercials special.

Nike - Soccermen vs. The Ninjas.

Never saw this one, but it's fucking hilarious.

AccuServ - We'll Be There

This one I just caught on YouTube.

I WANT CANDY~

I rarely see short commercials that get their point across so... um... well...

YIFF BOOM YIFF

And of course, you guys remember that banned-but-not-really-banned Xbox 360 commercial.

BANG!

I can't seem to find it anywhere, but I remember back around 2000 there was a football ad where, after saving a poodle from a burning building, firefighters go into a touchdown dance ending with the poodle being spiked.

Also, this "Don't Judge too Quickly" one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=t_Y3ueji6NY

and this banned one from the UK: http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_g...al.asp?ID=1846

...are completely wonderful.

Dude, the one with the xbox and the one with the condoms were genius. That condom one made me lol fo' sho'.

Speaking of condom ads...

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

This 7-up comemrcial always cracked me up whenever I saw it. Certainly one of the best ones I've seen.

This would probably be more suited for the most annoying commercial ever, but everyone I know gets a kick out of it, and it does make me laugh for no reason other than being dumb:

Otherwise, as overplayed as it was, I still kind of like tendercrisp bacon cheddar ranch...

And I like this Mitsubishi commercial, not just for the song, but because I enjoy watching what's happening in the car, it's like a story, I remember thinking it was pretty beautiful when I first saw it:

I love the commercials posted in this thread so far, too.

Carlton Draught's 'Big Ad'

It won awards 'n shit. I adore all of their TV adverts, this one's bloody hilarious too.

Terry Tate- Office Linebacker

I thought this one was funny. Terry Tate in the corporate world brings random, unnecessary violence!

Game On!
I just like the look on Forsberg's face.

I love the caveman milk ads by Ed Bruce, this one being my favorite. The little tail wags when the tree drops lower are brilliant.

More found here:

The United Airlines "Rhapsody" series are also beautiful. While they aren't funny, they are very artistic and well done.

I always liked the WKD adverts; my favourite was the one with the brick wall in the elevator but this was all I could find. Spawned the most annoying outbreak of kids saying "Hi Sue!" in camp voices where I live...

Seen as beer always makes for a good commercial:

Man, that's the first time I've seen it and had a good chuckle too.

A good reason to learn English.

Just watched that RIGHT NOW, incidentally. Best reason to learn, period.

I put my vote that Terry Tate is the best commercial(s) ever! I have watched them numerous times and still love them!:biggrin:

Winner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbjDj3G14YI

Runner-up: http://www.barqs.com/bites.jsp (World Domination)

Honorable Mention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlBxHhL2lQc

Although just about anything Skittles has done works too.

That's awesome.

Yeah, Skex wins.

Abso-freaking-lutely. easily the best Suoper Bowl commercial and perhaps one of the best ever. that and the Bud Light ad where the hawk fetches beer and the people's reactions were classic.

This one was hilarious when I first saw it...

John West bear-fight commercial:

I'm not especially enjoyed to see ads on tv, but my mother herself like this one :

Soccer Show !

Oh, and naturally, i don't want to miss the best Playstation commercial ever :

More like best commercial EVER. :tpg:

Gotta love the Dairy Queen Commercials ^_^

DQ Hazelnut MooLatte

DQ Dreampie Blizzard

DQ Flamethrower Burger

Wow... awesome pitagora suicchi style commercial. Loved it.

I like those Nike Free-Style commercials...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=U9F-gVnCtZw <-- Basketball
http://youtube.com/watch?v=A-mS1QS9Omc <-- Football

But the best commercial I've ever seen is that Coca-Cola with the crazy stuff happening inside the vending machine...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=zum9_pXpftc

It's fucking brilliant.

I liked the VW spots with Pete Stormare, very funny stuff. I don't watch much US TV, so any other nominations would be out of place right here.

The cat herding commercial was halarious! I only seen it on TV once, when my firends and I first seen it, we where like WTF??!!

herding cats

I really like the Sony Bravia commercial, especially when I found out that those are real super ball and no CG. Wish I was there to see this with my own eyes!

Sony Bravia Commercial

Holy crap! That must taken forever to clean up! I bet there are still a few rubber balls laying around that kids are finding to this day!

I see your super ball commercial and raise you paint. Hopefully no one's posted this yet, because this is crazy:

Sony Bravia "Paint" Commercial

I don't know about best, but certainly worth taking a look at

movingpixels.com

-click "Life Shapes"

Hyundai's relatively recent Santa Fe commercial, performed by the Pilobolus Dance Theater. It's kinda like hardcore shadow puppets, except using their whole bodies.
