On the Kiwi note, has this pleasingly surreal [police recruitment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9psILoYmCc) ad come up yet? ---

I remember a commercial (I think it was Honda Accord) in which we see a line of black and white cars. A voiceover speaks about how reliable this car has proven to be over the years. As the camera pans back, we see that cars are moving up and down in what seems to be a random patters, but as the voiceover fades, you realize the cars are lined up like a piano keyboard playing “As Time Goes By.” Not funny, but very memorable. Since I am not sure about the make and model, I couldn’t find a link. ---

> [@JohnGalt](#): > > Then again there are the Jennifer Love Hewitt [Levi Colors Jeans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig7ENh9UGUI) commercials from 1990 (the link has the two commercials back-to-back). All I can say is most people aren’t looking at her jeans. I don’t think they could or would show it today. Levi made some great commercials, including [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q56M5OZS1A8) (Laundry ad), which then gave us [Carlng Black Label](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q56M5OZS1A8) ad. It’s not a meta ad --but it is an example of multiple inheritance … and I was young enough to laugh. ---

Uh, you linked to one ad twice? ---

Mouse/Keyboard trouble. That’s an old and flaky computer. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-this-the-greatest-commercial-ever-made/793760.md?page=3)
