I love the Pink Moon VW ad and especially the cat herding one. The guy using the cat hair roller cracks me up.
Adcritic has a great, funny ad promoting breast self-exam. If all goes well, link is below.

Nah. 
I like the Jeep commercial where the guy goes through all the tough trails to get a “secret” spot, and all the owners of previous Jeep models are already there–various CJs, a Willys Wagon, an XJ Cherokee, and an SJ Grand Wagoneer (on the top of a ridge above all the others, no less :D)
“He’s got money coming out of his wazoo!”
There’s this really disturbing commercial for cars…Mercedes cars, with “Stayin’ Alive” playing in the background, but it sounds sort of slowed down. And you see all these crash dummies getting knocked around. Is it just me or is that a bit…odd? I liked it and all but I don’t think I’d like to see it. And, actually…i think im gonna avoid Mercedes cars for now…
This commercial is available here:

I love those VW commercials, even though I would never buy one in a million years (dyed-in-the-wool Jeep owner). And thank you, Ankh_too; I’ve been wondering for months about who sings that “Pink Moon” song. I am forever in your debt.
My favorite commercials are the ones for Priceline.com, where William Shatner sings the old pop favorites (“Bust a Move!!!”). All of my friends hate them, but I like the idea that Shatner is willing to poke fun at himself (for a large fee, of course). If you’ve ever heard Shatner’s rendition of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” (Lucy… in the sky… with… Diamonds!) then you know what I’m talking about.
Oh boy, just thought of another one. It’s one of those Sega commercials. A baseball player hits a triple, he dives into third. As he stands up to dust himself off, a beatiful woman in the stands yells out “Hey Rickeeeee!” He looks over, acts smooth and suave, and promptly gets hit in the groin by a line drive.
Ditto for Snickers. You can watch it by going to Snickers.com. A full transcript:
E: vote for me, my dad was preisdent. I even look like my dad.
D: Yea, well, my dad was a senator.
E: My dad and I wear the same shoe size…
D: Yea, well, I invented the internet. Lots of other stuff, too.
E: Once my mom thought I was my dad.
D: Shace shuttle. That was mine.
E: On the phone people think I’m my dad.
D: Kiss me. I’m on TV
E: We have the same name. My dad and me, that is.
Snickers announcer…
E: my dad and I wear the same pants
D: I invented pants.
My other favorite (and my Mom’s, too) is a Pampers commercial that they only play during the day, specifically during soap operas. It’s a stage, and the curtains part, and you see a bunch of babies on stage. The drinking song from La Triviata (help me out Opera buffs…) comes on, and the babies start gesturing with their sippy cups. The subtitles read something like “We can drink and drink juice before our naps, maybe a gallon or two!” The likelyhood that any percentage of the population knows the REAL translation of the song is so small, it’s amazing that commercial got made. Funny as all hell.
I am just falling over laughing from the Jim Beam: War commercial on Adcritic. That one is a keeper.
For future refrence:
“Go Raincheck”=Toys “R” Us
It’s been awhile…but I loved the MIller Liter commercial where the Bull Mastiff fetches beer for the fat bald guy…then stares at him until the guys gets up and dances with him…
I also loved the commercial where the husband and pregnant wife are at the hardware store picking out the “perfect color” (implied for a babys room)…cut to a shot of them in a football stadium with Denver Bronco colors painted on their faces…and she screaming like as lunatic…
Oh I love that commercial. Its so cool…I love dancing along with it sometimes.
One commercial that cracks me up every time is for Hewlett Packard (I think a CD burner or some sort of music/computer device to make your own CDs). This girl is making her own CD of different music and its showing a bunch of people on a crowded city street that go along w/ the type of music shes recording…some guys w/ construction hats walk by and you hear “YMCA”, some old ladies are waving their hands around and you hear opera music, and then (the best part) is you hear this rap music (saying something like “watch out hes a killa”) and this mean looking little brown dog is barking to the music. I love that.
I also enjoy the my chalupa/my sharona taco bell one. Esp the end (woo woo woo woo woo woooo).
I second this one.
I also saw one about vitamin C a couple years back. All these kids were eating oranges in a classroom, but they’d hide the oranges anytime the teacher turned around from writing on the board. They kept doing this until she caught a little girl slurping the orange. Instead of yelling at the girl, the teacher smile and it was one of those “orange smiles” (you know, when you stick an orange peel in your mouth and smile so you only see the peel?). Priceless…I couldn’t stop laughing.
That kitty-litter commercial (Freshstep?) where the cat gets pissed and TPs the house is great. Only because the cat stops for a second, sticks it’s tongue out and
THHHHHHBBBBBBBTTTTHHHH!
Bwahahahahaha! I love it.
Count me in among the fans of the E-trade “Nozulla” commercial. (http://www.adcritic.com/content/e-trade-gene-enterprises-nozulla.html)

Bone liquification
Possession by the Prince of Darkness
Tail growth
Elderly pregnancy
(The “gigantic eyeball” gets me every time!)
i forget what this one is for, exactly. just for example, lets say priceline.com
shot of a marching band organizing itself on a football field, spelling out the name ‘priceline.com,’ while playing a fancy tune.
just as the view switches to an overhead shot, the announcer comes on and says something like ‘in order to get you to remember the name ‘priceline.com,’ we’ve released a pack of hungry wolves on this high school marching band.’ you see a pack of wolves run in from the bottom right corner of the screen, and the formation of ‘priceline.com’ dissolves. cut to several shots of the wolves mauling the marching band -
this is a great commercial. its hard to make a bad commercial that involves wolves, but this one is downright great!

Well, this one wasn’t on television; it was in front of a movie. It’s the E-Trade commercial that starts out as a fake action movie trailer.
“This summer, everything, and we mean EVERYTHING, gets BLOW’D UP!”
Then we see George Takei as the mad bomber who blows up garden gnomes and hot dogs as some blond bimbo cop tries to stop him.
“This movie’s gonna blow!”
Then we see a guy watching this commercial on his TV. He immediately goes to his computer, logs on to E-Trade, and sells all his stock in the movie company.
