Mine is the "got milk?" commercial where a history buff eats a peanut butter sandwich, but runs out of milk. He is listening to a radio contest, and the question is "Who killed Alexander Hamilton in a famous duel?"

The answer is Aaron Burr, but the man has a mouthful of food, and can't answer the question in a clear voice. And he loses the contest, despite having every relic of the famous duel in his possession.

Yeah, the HeadOn commercial is very annoying.

I don't know wether it's a Mazda or a Nissan commercial, but they advertize the truck as being anything that you want it to be, and in one shot, the truck is a Routemaster.

The Diet Dr. Pepper "CHimPs" commercial, where they poked at an obssesion of mine, "CHiPs", I was laughing my ass off when I first saw that, cause the CHimPs pulled over Erik Estrada, who played Ponch on "CHiPs".

I wish I had that on tape, lol.

The John Smith advert was good, think it was Peter Kay that was in it. It was a diving competion and he is representing Britain and does a cannonball.

I also liked the Honda adverts, the one where it's like a game of Mousetrap (really bad simlie) when it's all in pieces and the animated Diesel one with the song "Change something, hate something", i was singing that for weeks.

It was one for Sprite.

Two kids walk into a warm-looking kitchen. Their mom says, "Hey kids, I got sunkist!"

"Sunkist!" one of the kids repeats with a grin. "That's our favorite!"

At this point a creepy CGI sun with arms, legs, eyes and a mouth jumps out from the label of the bottle. "And it's made with real fruit too!"

The kids scream, and the mom tells them, "C'mon kids, let's get out of here!"

They run, trying to escape through the hallways, and the CGI Sunkist Monster runs after them. The terrified looking dog runs away, too. At this point the commertial is shot like a horror movie, with suspsenseful music in the background.

"What's with you people?" asks the CGI Sunkist Monster. "I've got real vitamins and minerals!"

But the mom trips on a vacuum cleaner.

"MOM!" scream the kids as the CGI Sunkist Monster pounces onto her--

We see the Sprite logo pop up. "There's one reason to drink something. And it's not (blah blah blah)" I forget what they say after, but it was something funny.

I really like the Geico commercials with the cavemen. Especially the one where one is in therapy. I hate therapists sometimes.

There used to be a commercial for hydroxycut where it had a fat woman in a bikini running on the beach with the announcer saying "have u ever looked at your body and wanted to cry?" Man, I'm drooling just thinking about it!

The Honda Advert with the car pieces.

The John Smith's Advert (All of them, 'Ave It!)

That's about it...I might think of some more favourites later.

I am surprised that no one mentioned the "Where's the Beef?" commercials.

my fav is the one for mighty mule gate openers(i only seen this one 2 times) it starts with a guy on a horse and bugg then all sudden he stops at a gate then reaches into a pocket and pulls out a remote control, clicks it then puts it back then the veiw changes to show the gate opening and then the guy mouthing the word mighty mule (then announcer comes on advertizing the populer gate opener.

me and my dad were laughing when the guy pulled out the remote thinking he was gonna get off buggy to open gate. it was a greatly made commercial to show the plot of how it was in the 1800's and now.
