I like [this new Taco Bell commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3zlfi5VPTo). (Was it a superb owl ad?)

It’s from 2012, so I’m not sure if you consider that “recent” but [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaBNjTtCxd4) from Cartier was very nice.

[This one](https://www.ispot.tv/ad/dmNp/zola-where-to-start), but it’s only great for us because my wife was listening / not watching and thought at ~:08 she said “Zoloft” so now we say that every time it comes on. Which is quite a bit on Hulu.

Not so recent but very nice.
