Favorite TV commercials from years ago...

I can't seem to find any of them on youtube, but the animal planet life is better with animals commercials were great. One showed a guy breaking in who confronts a series of meaner animals and finally says "ok, who wants a biscuit". It switches view to the homeowners in bed with a monkey coming in and giving them a thumbs up, with sounds of a hell of a fight in the other room.

If anyone posts a Linda Soundtrack commercial, you'll have to leave OSA.

She was Hawt! For a teenager, (me).

Some of the most entertaining and thought-provoking advertising that I remember were the Volkswagen billboards of the late '70s and early '80s... including the simple picture of the moon lander, with the tagline underneath that said, "It's ugly, but it gets you there. VW"

Or the Isuzu tv ads of the early 90's. The best one was the asian car salesman who had trouble getting his prospective customer to correctly pronounce "Isuzu." After a number of attempts (including manually manipulating the customer's cheeks), the salesman gives up, leans on the car top, and says... "that's okay, I can't say "shevaray" [Chevrolet]

OH gosh, so many! The old Frito Bandito commecials, Mama Mia What A Spicy Meatball, and of course the 80's Braums commercials of Vern and Jim Varney, usually hanging on a window or something.
