The Coors Light ads with the NFL coaches (Parcells, Green, Mora, Vermeil, Walsh, etc) are hilarious. The Big Tuna ones always make me crack up, with the Bigfoot (youtube.com) spot, and the "How about changing your name from Big Tuna to Big Coors Light?" (couldn't find a link to that one).
There's a phone company commercial that they played on CBC during the NHL playoffs that had a bunch of cute animals embracing each other in one form or another (e.g. one bunny would put his paw on another bunny next to him, a baby turtle riding on the back of another turtle, etc.) and they playd Captain and Tennile's "Love Will Keep Us Together" in the background. I thought that was a great commercial. I TiVo'd it and still have it.
I think the Nike "Leave Nothing" commerical with Merriman and Jackson is the best commercial since Mac 1984. Directed by Michael Mann with music from last of the Mohicans. I get chills watching that.
'But if one is struck by me only a little, that is far different, the stroke is a sharp thing and suddenly lays him lifeless, and that man's wife goes with cheeks torn in lamentation, and his children are fatherless, while he, staining the soil with his red blood, rots away, and there are more birds than women swarming about him.' Diomedes, The Iliad of Homer
The commercial itself is well done, it's just the glorification of the steroid-using Merriman that leads me to believe that Nike's message is that it's okay to cheat.
CRZ had to edit my profile and close my table for me before, but I did this one all by myself with Frosty's help!
The Bud Light commercial with the 2 white American Eskimo dogs. "Beware of dogs", the buddy snarfs a beer anyway, & the dogs harass him mercilessly til the debt's repaid. Here. (youtube.com)
Little dogs don't have to be little shits -- but sometimes it's their best option. :-)

Much like Pieman I would have liked that ad much more with someone other than Merriman in it. The ad itself is amazing, but I keep waiting for the part where he stops to jab his ass with a needle in time to the stirring music.

I've seen it more times than I care to and I didn't even know it was a Nike ad.
Whenever it comes on during a game, we just move on to the next channel's game on Sunday Ticket.

Anyone but Merriman would have been better. That commercial is amazing. The Queen of Keith loves it and she hates football.
The Bud Light opera commercial cracks me up every time.
I like the Sonic commercials with the two people just having a short conversation. There were a few that were a bit overplayed during the MLB playoffs on TBS, but that one guy's genuinely crestfallen expression in the "meat rage" one gets me every time.

Those are pretty decent, but when they don't have a Sonic within 100 miles of you, it just seems like an exercise in futility.

437.03 miles to Morgantown, Pennsylvania would be the closest. I like the ads, but that's long way to go for the Extra-Long Bacon Cheddar Cheesesteak.

I forget the car compnay, but the lady is jogging and run into the parked car and the ad for how people don;t notice their cars. Then there is a commercial for something else and then the original commercial comes back and the lady is getting off the ground, shakes it off and starts running and smacks into the same car again. I laughed so loud the first time I saw that because it was so inexpected. Great commercial.

There are a few of these to choose from but my favorite is when they trick him into thinking they'll give him a ride in their vehicle and drive off. Seconds after they start laughing he gets revenge and a ride.
I can't even remember what it's from, but I always chuckle whenever I see John Madden telling the guy to throw the lawn gnome through a tire. The blocking pads guy one isn't as funny.
The other NFL commercial that I'll always watch is the Pepsi Max one with the Dallas Cowboys.

There is a commercial for ESPNU that has a guy in a Texas A&M shirt trying to solve "Hook 'em, Horns", and I love his responses once he figures it out but decides he CAN'T say those words.
"An insane deer."
"Paper."
"Taco meat."

http://es.pn/129jcIN - short link to http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/quiz/_/id/4979/do-know-mlb-rules I got 6 out of 10 - not bad! But I probably could have flipped a coin and gotten pretty close to that number, so...no, not terribly impressive.
