EDS "Herding Cats" (youtube.com)
Production quality, little subtleties, concept -- best commercial of all time.
Can't watch it at work, but if that's the one I think it is, it debuted during a Super Bowl, so it got decent airplay at the very least.
And the Holiday Inn ads with the three business guys are decent. Yes, even the "nature's public speaker" one. | JayJayDean

Reposted on: 30.9.13 1728.45 | Here is a snippit from http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,2183806,00.html?maca=en-rss-en-all-1573-rdf
However, Jean Halliday, who covers the automotive industry for Advertising Age magazine, said while the commercials are amusing, the message is unclear.
"There are many Americans who do not know who Dieter Zetsche is," she said. "There was some research I found in my reporting that 80 percent of Americans who saw the ads thought the character was a made up person. They didn't realize he was really the chair of DaimlerChrysler AG."
Other critics complained that Zetsche's silly behavior in the ads was inappropriate for the chairman of an international conglomerate, though that would probably be less of a concern if the ads sold cars.
But Halliday said -- when looking at the numbers -- they didn't. When the ads were pulled earlier this month, there was talk that the campaign had been a dud.
DaimlerChrysler denies ad failure
Christine Mackenzie, the Executive Director of Multi-Brand Marketing & Agency Relations, for the Chrysler Group, said it's not a sign of failure that the high profile "Dr. Z" ads were abruptly stopped in September when it became clear that too much inventory and low sales were more pressing issues.
"We have to be very spontaneous and flexible, and that's the whole reason for taking down the 'Dr. Z' ads and replacing them with clearance spots," Mackenzie said.
Dr. Z's commercials may not have sold many cars, but he did enter the lexicon as a pop culture icon -- both hated and loved.

I like Geico commercials in general, except for those with the hired actor translation gimmick. Those are just a poor attempt at comedy.

this is one of those really surreal commercials; while I appreciate the out-of-the-boxness of it... in the back of my head it really creeps me out.
Just like that commercial about chicken fries, where one guy tells the other he'll turn into a chicken if he keeps eating them. Then cuts to the guy getting out of bed and he has chicken feet... and for no reason they show a fox in his house hallway. Random, weird. You guys know which commercial Im talking about?
