The Greatest Commercials of All Time

[Saulkar]

Need I say more...
I'm serial.

 

[Drakmeire]

Just because it contrasted so well with the show it aired during (Puella Magi Madoka Magica).

I want to cosplay as that guy.
also older video game commercials were the best.

Sadly I can't find the one that says "We have three beautiful *Explosion*...Two beautiful pets to chose from"

 

[Quantom Quak]

I like the etrade baby and the more recent Valve commercials.

[Canadamus Prime]

What are yours?

Ooooooooooooooh, now I finally get what that one Futurama episode was referencing.

 

[Tulks]

Also, I second whoever suggested the Dos Equis campaign, inspiration for many a Chuck Norris "joke".

 

[KeyMaster45]

Hands down, it's got to be this one. I think it was Arby's that had some commercials and one of them had this guy who went "I am the satisfier" at the end. It was AMV hell cannon fodder gold but I could never find a copy of it online.

 

[Antari]

In recent times I think this one definately deserves a mention.


*Is anyone else getting that strange feeling that Demolition man might have been correct and the next step is radio stations playing commercial jingles and nothing but?

[SoulSalmon]

Just try typing "Japanese ad" into Youtube... you'll find a LOT of epic commercials.

As far as non-japan goes:

[SHIFTYMACO]

This is by far the best Car Advert I have ever seen!

[Hydro Imp]

The guinness surfer ad

[Nocta-Aeterna]

This is by far the best Car Advert I have ever seen!

Oh my, it's been YEARS since I've seen that one.

Bol.com commercials are generally funny, but the best ones contain too many references to Dutch culture and puns that only work in said context, they lose all meaning in any other language.

This one is pretty funny though.

John Cleese at his best

[Neverhoodian]

Quite possibly the most epic video game commercial ever:

 

[TiloXofXTanto]

Gentlemen, I believe I have a winner for the most ridiculous commercial ever.

GUARANTEED!

 

[Bobbity]

This ad's always been amongst my favourites.

 

[The Apothecarry]

I remember I started a thread like this WAY back when I first joined. Surprised this one hasn't come up yet:

Best liquor ad ever. Of all time.
