Favorite commercials.

What's your favorite commercial? Can be funny, aiming for them feels, whatever.

Mine is and always will be the original Geico caveman one.


The fist time I saw it I didn't see that last bit coming; threw me for a hysteria fit.

All other commercials seem to fade into a sort of easily-forgotten haze after that one.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I know Ill never see it again, but basically going through some old mystery cassettes (SNL recordings IIRC). Theres a man with some giant Gretkzy mullet who exclaims "HAVE YOU GOT A CAMERA!?!!!!" and hoists up a bazooka  :)) Expression is priceless and quite funny compared to more modern times.

Surely it's got to be Honda's "Cog" advert. Done in 1 take, after about 700 attempts.
