Hands down — a commercian for a Nissan. The commercial consists entirely of a woman from the navel to the neck wearing a bikini top, sitting in the seat of what is presumably a Nissan. Her breasts jiggle up and down for a while, sometimes together, sometimes one at a time. For 30 seconds.
Then the slogan — Nissan: Independent Suspension.
I need a cigarette.
There was a commercial here years ago for a TV show called ‘Bingo!’…it showed a couple entering their apartment and undressing quickly as they were heading to the bedroom (trail of clothing on the floor…). It ends with a side-shot of the woman on hands and knees, grasping the foot-board of the bed with one hand while holding the remote in the other yelling “BINGO!” as she is getting thrust forward, presumably by the man.
Then there is the blowjob noodles.

One that always made me smile for the most inappropriate use of a sexual reference in advertising -
On a truck for an engineering firm that reconditioned engines

I think FUNGTASTIC and a bra-woman is a great funny ad. Clearly they are being witty.
If he ‘sprayed more’, wouldn’t they Implode instead…? Still, if he’s spraying that much, I guess that explains that smell coming from the water. (I just thought that it was dead fish…)
Well, this is gratuitous…and there is sex but it’s, um…ugh I’ll let you decide…
Everything is on YouTube, now, isn’t it?
I could sit and watch this for days
That sounds suspiciously like the Jeep: Bouncy and Fun commercial.
Is that a real commercial? I’ve seen it via email, I thought it was just a sexy spoof.
Come again? What’s a shizno?

I tend to think that, at this point, a lot of the really wacko ones are some overintelligent liberal-arts-grad-advertising-exec’s idea of a parody of ads that actually try to use sex to sell a product… making them more like meta ads, really, like those stupid posters that say: “Sex!” ing huge print and then, in small subtitle, “Now that I have your attention, vote for Milhouse!” and such. The mushroom ad strikes me this way, specifically, since there’s no legitimate reason or way to use sex to sell mushrooms.
No idea. I found a link to it on YouTube — I don’t watch TV, and don’t have cable, so I can’t vouch for its authenticity. Gotta admit that it’s effective as advertising because I remembered the brand name. 
Good grief! After reading this thread, I am going to start watching commericals again.
This seems like a reasonably good excuse to tell this tale from when my oldest son was a lad.
Does anyone remember the Budweiser commercials featuring the Swedish Bikini Team? Briefly (pun intended) it was a completely nonsensical series of ads in which the Swedish Bikini Team (self-explanatory, no?) parachuted or otherwise was “inserted” into dire situations in which guys needed emergency rations of beer.
So, I’m sitting on the sofa in the family room, watching television with my then-11-year-old-son, and the SBT parachutes onto a deserted island occupied by thirsty young men; the SBT brings with them multiple cases of beer. After the commercial, I turned to my son and asked, jokingly, “So, did that make you thirsty?” “Nope,” he replied, “it made me horny.”
I just about fell off the sofa.
I think the ads totally misused the “sex sells” idea anyway, because the SBT always brought the beer. Now, if they were irresistably drawn to guys who drank Budweiser, well, then you’d have a message!
Most gratuitous. Look at what they were doingin the 1940s.
I’ve never been to a Carl’s Jr., but eating a meal there is now my life’s greatest ambition.
Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.
When I was 11 or 12 I was getting dressed one morning and listening to the radio. An airline commercial comes on. This woman breathes into the microphone “Hi! I’m Suzy! I have Big … Beautiful … 747s! Oh won’t you PLEASE Fly Me!!”
I started laughing so hard I nearly got stuck in my shirt. Even then, I appreciated subtlety. :rolleyes:
Here’s a link to National Airlines’ “Fly Me” ads (scroll down about 3/4 of the way down, past the Braniff ad. What is it about airlines??)
Another gratuitous one is for a manufacturer of high-power radio frequency power supplies and amplifiers. I forget the company’s name, but many’s the time I saw their ads in Physics Today, the members’ journal of the American Physical Society. Sure, lots of physicists buy RF power supplies. This was the only company that had an attractive female model in the ad rather than the equipment. OK, she was in a lab coat and safety glasses, but I am going to drop $100K or so of hard-fought grant money on one company’s product over their competitors because the model in their ads is pretty?? No, I am not! Though their models did look rather fetching in lab coats. 
The kicker was that this company always had a small photo in one corner with their slogan “The broad band, high power people”. Reasonable slogan. But under the slogan were two women in leotards. One was leaning to one side with her arms spread wide up and down, I suppose showing how high the “high power” was. The other was standing upright behind the first with her arms spread over her head, no doubt representing the width of the “broad band”. Broad band - get it? :rolleyes:
