Favorite T.V. Commercial or SNL Skit

New or old what are some you like. Here's an old one I still like. I remember the phrase "Where's the Beef ?" was very popular for a while.

I like all the Subaru commercials, they're all about family and the reliability of the car. Other car commercials try to dazzle you with the high tech gadgets and turbo power and the "Look how fast I can take that corner".

Yes, I drive Subarus.

I love their commercials. I don't drive one.
This is my favorite.

This is my favorite commercial of all time, and perhaps the first commercial I ever remember seeing. So simple, and yet so charming. I'm not sure when it started airing, but I remember seeing it back in '92 (I was two years old ) and it still airs to this day during the Christmas holiday:

There's a new commercial for the Volkswagen Tuareg that I think is pretty funny. A 40-ish woman is driving around in this Honda that's lowered, has a huge spoiler, a body kit that's not pained, etc. The joke is, that's her daughter's boyfriend's car, and she made the kids drive her Tuareg on their date because it's safer.

There's just something about the phrases "government employee" and "insurance" used together that gives me the creeps...

The absolute winner for commercials has to be Irn Bru IMO:

On saying that, I do love the current Three (mobile provider) advert, it's a must watch :
