Commercials
Commercials are annoying on the whole, but now and then there are commercials or advertising campaigns which are absolutely hysterical. Sure, everybody loves car insurance (Geico, Afflac, Progressive, etc.) But what are some of your favorite commercials?
One I remember so much:

One that came up on youtube recently but I think the opening bit is soo funny.

Everybody is saying "Wow, you're ______" like they're being sworn at and then you find out they're saying things like "oh, it's good to see you're eating well," "wow, you look really healthy;" but people don't take it as a compliment because it sounds like a nice way of saying "oh, you're fat," which they shouldn't which why they interview people for clarification and then sell some unexplained product. The real funny part is the kid. She goes "My aunt is the most _________... Right auntie?"

Classics from the old "Got Milk?" ad campaign of the 1990's:
Harland Williams Got Milk?
Aaron Burr Got Milk commercial
I really like the Snickers "You're not you when you're hungry" ads:
Mr. Bean Snickers Ad
Mr. Bean High Kick
Joker Snickers
Roseanne and Richard Lewis Snickers
Betty White and Abe Vigoda
And I know that you asked for alternatives to the car insurance ads, but I really love this one so much, that I have to mention it:
Geico Elmer Fudd
I would have paid sooo much money to have been a fly on the wall at the marketing meetings for the last two... I mean, not just one person, a group of people got together and thought that was a good idea...

Heck, yeah--Crews! Dude keeps getting cooler with everything I see him in.
Some good ones here. I like the Rob Lowe/Direct TV ones they've been blasting out for awhile--even if some are disturbing.
Always got a laugh out of Peter Stormare (the Fargo guy, among others) playing the snooty VW pitchman:

He does absolutely nothing for me, I never got the excitement over this ad
There was a ad for febreze that used to on a few years ago I cant find it online and the ad wasn't supposed to be funny but I think at least one person working on it got a good laugh out of it. It basically went like this-
Father and son are sat of the sofa enjoying themselves in front of the tv, mum walks in smiling then joins them on the sofa she sits with her feet up and her legs slightly open, fish start swimming across the screen from the direction of her vagina and dad and son hold there noses and look at mum in disgust. Mum looks hurt and embarrassed and CLOSES HER LEGS, the fish stop swimming around (wtf). then I presume she bought herself some febreze because the scene replays exactly the same only this time flowers fly from the general direction of her vagina, dad sniffs the air and looks proud, mum looks proud the opens her legs wider- the end!
I dont think people should be encouraged to spary there stinky genitalia with houshould deoderisers, but febreze obviously thinks so even though they cant just come straight out with it
Also all Japanese ads my favorite ones are for choco balls and jelly beans!
choco balls
jelly beans
Fun fact- it is belived that the chocobos of final fantasy are based on the choco ball mascot. In Japanese the sound the choco ball mascot makes is written the same as way as the chocobo call, there was also limited edition choco ball packaging that featured a chocobo!
Smell Like a Monster
