I dropped in to mention those … I adore Peter Storemare … I wonder how many people realize he is actually swedish, not german =)

I also really love the [1984 mac ap](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8) and the [xerox monk add,](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IgH2M02xek) and [wendys fashion ad](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWAKtYGJZSM)

The “Got Milk?” commercials were the weirdest, funniest and most original series I ever saw, and I still think they’re fantastic, and they still crack me up.

Especially the one that ends with the obnoxious 1990s rich asshole who suddenly realizes he’s in _Hell_, and _there’s no milk there!_

And even funnier and freakier than _that_ one, there’s my all-time fav commercial ever made: the one where a nice suburban family (Mom and Pop, two kids and a sweet little dog) _murder_ Poppin Fresh the Pillsbury Doughboy for drinking the last of their milk – by \*baking \*him!

Whoever came up with those ads was smoking some _fine_-ass reefer, no doubt about it.

The recent series of PS3 ads where a corporate flack offhandedly responds to PS3 players’ concerns is a lot of fun. Here’s one: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPfm5l7SnHU](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPfm5l7SnHU)

Thera-gesic “Goat Tears”. I’ve only seen this on the weather channel, in several lengths. The full 60 minute version is on you tube. This woman explains how goat tears relieve her arthritis pain. She then goes on to try to make her goats cry so she can collect the tears. Singing “Danny Boy”, cutting up onions, taking a goat to it’s mama’s grave, etc. Hilarious! And the fact she sounds like she’s a member of my family (or me) from TN/MS.

Yes! But you forgot the best one - with the guy who knows the answer to the trivia question is “Aaron Burr” but can’t say it right because he has a mouthful of peanut butter. “Awon Buh. Awon Buh!!!”

The McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish commercial.  
Gimme that Filet-O-Fish, Gimme that fish  
Aaaaaahhhhh  
Gimme that Filet-O-Fish, Gimme that fish

I agree, those are great. Though I’d restock that beer closet ASAP but I’d like it better than a clothes closet. 😃 I’d actually watch a “Tiny House” reality show, too.

Love “Unpimp Ze Auto”, and like the mother criticizing her family for “wasting minutes” on their cellphone plan.
