I love the Sonic commercials with the couple sitting in their car, imbibing a variety of Sonic beverages and engaging in witty repartee.

I love Jack In The Box commercials. They're absurd and completely funny, and have created their own world to inhabit.

I also enjoy the Emerald Nuts commercials mentioned above. Some commercials really do display wit and storytelling on a par with narrative TV and film.

On the topic, car commercials are uniformly and without exception horrible. Any ideas why?

Ooh! I just remembered a great one! The Geico (I think?) car insurance commercial with voiceover actor Don La Fontaine! "In a world... where both of our cars were totally underwater..."

I think there are a lot of very creative people who are earning a living with their craft through advertising. It gets a bad rap. But car commercials DO suck, nearly universally. Except V-Dub! Those are great, particularly the ones with the nihilist from The Big Lebowski.

I have seen so many hilarious commercials I can't possibly name them all... so I am going to nod to the only one I can recall that has ever choked me up, even after the original viewing:

Budweiser Baby Horse

I love most of the Geico commercials.

I had a few of my own ideas for Geico commercials.

I also laugh at those Pepto-Bismol commercials for some reason.

Eagleman commercial 1
Eagleman commerical 2
Eaglewoman commercial

These commercials actually showed in the Chicagoland area & I do miss them because they always made me laugh. They still do.

I love those also. The actors they use are improv specialists. The commercials are totally unscripted.

Second City, right? I had only seen a few of them on various VH1 meta-shows.
