What is your all-time favorite commercial?

The old Alka Seltzer comercial in the prison where they start the riot, "alka seltzer, alka seltzer, alka seltzer"

Fifty watts per channel, babycakes!

In Oz, there was the Nudge Bar ad (about ten years ago now) which only showed about two or three times because everyone was talking about it the next day.

In NZ (where people make funnier commercials than in Australia ) There's a lot of great commercials.

But my favourite is a telecom commercial, where a group of baby meerkats are learning to be sentries or some such thing, and they keep nodding off on watch.

IT'S SO CUTE!! !! !

Calgon was well over a decade before my time, but it's still pretty amusing.

Oh hell yes, I went there. The Oozinator has to be one of the greatest all-time WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT moments in marketing.

In the UK I loved the Carling Black Label adverts in the 80's / 90's. Had to be seen to be appreciated. Best ones were the skit on the Levis advert and the Dam Busters one. All were people doing unusual or amazing things with the catch phrase "I bet he drinks Carling Black Label".

More recently some of the Carlsberg adverts were quite good as well.

I agree with the John Smiths one.

Best commercial ever

There's something about insurance company spots I enjoy. Of the several Geico spots done over the years, my fave is the "Tiny House" one where newlyweds on a reality show are forced to live in a really tiny place for a year ("I just wanna make an omelette!"). And of course, the caveman spots.

Runner up is the Nationwide Insurance spot where the kid doing a science project builds a robot that blows up the parents' car. (Be warned: Kevin Federline will be in Nationwide's Super Bowl ad.)

ooo another fav, was the commercial for the xbox 360 a boy and another person on xbox live are playing some war game and the boy has something cooking in microwave and then the one says somethign like ready aim.....(pop, the food explodes) buddy on other end goes what was that! when someone shoots on the game then kid (forgot some parts)gets a bite to eat and cleans up mess in kitchen.

Classic UK Guinness advert from 1994

The Tidy Cats commercials. No surprise for a cat lover.

Odd as it sounds, this commercial enchanted me as a child. I've never heard music like that before until finding Carmina Burana ten years later.

Another is the XBOX advert which got banned, where a mum gives birth to a baby which flies out of the ward and keeps flying and ages as it flies and when the person's old and still flying he flies into his grave. He just crashes into it.

And the slogan "Life's Short, Play More, With XBOX."

- I found it hilarious.

I like the older Geico ads. My favorite was the one with the cats. I hate the current commercials with has been celebreties and other some I don't know, but are supposed famous.

This is probably my favorite:
