Simple question, really..do you have a few faves that were either very funny, or really got their message across, or just made you feel good? There have been many great ones over the decades

Hopefully, you'll post the links to them from YouTube..

NOTE: The FIRST person who pompously replies that "I don't watch TV" can go pound sand AND suck an egg.

And if you're so inclined, and have a nominee, tell us your pick for the WORST commercial. There are so many of those too, but they are so very forgettable..

Here's my top picks:

Noxema "take it off, take it all off" Gawd damn, but Gunilla was drop-dead GORGEOUS

Coke: "I'd like to teach the world to sing.." Man, back then EVERYONE was humming that tune

ANY Oscar Meyer commercial the bologna song or "I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener"

American Tourister gorilla ad Brilliant!

FedEx fast talking guy They were all a hoot

Any of the "lying Joe Isuzu ads They were hilarious

You'll notice most of these are, well, old....but the best of the current crop is without a doubt, the GEICO "hump day" with the camel had people talking for months. And I was already sick of the gecko

There was one more on my list...with the Hoffman Soda jingle..."The prettiest girl, I ever saw, was sipping Hoffman, right through a straw"..but I can't find it.

As far as my picks for the worst commercials...well.. Any PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE one..I absolutely can't stand that girl..

“We’ve secretly replaced all the coffee in this expensive restaurant with ground up clam shells and sand.”

Patrons proceed to spew sand out of their mouths and dump cups and pots on the carpet. Out come the vacuum cleaners and proceed to clean the floors.

Forget the vacuum company but great ad.

I liked the old commercial for Drake’s Ring Ding Jr. (eventually, Jr. would be dropped. I never witnessed a Ring Ding Sr.) with a little kid whining “I want a Ring Ding Jr.!”

In September, 1952, Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) came out strongly for Dwight Eisenhower, his erstwhile rival for the presidential nomination and inspired this entertaining Democrat spot.
