Currently, it's the Citibank ad with "Jake," the identity theft victim. It's hilarious when his mouth is moving but the valley girl's voice is heard. And when he says (with her voice), "Fifteen hundred dollars for a leather bustier? I didn't care. It lifts and separates!" and he goes through the motions of "lifts and separates" with his hand near his chest. Cracks me up every time!
My all-time favorite, outside of the usual classics that everyone loves, is the Fisher-Price "Dino-Roars" commercial. Those were popular back in '94, '95. They were sort of satiny stuff dinosaurs that came in bright colors (yellow, orange, green). And when you squeeze them, they roar. They have something like a whoopie cushion inside but it makes a roaring sound instead of a vulgar sound. And it's an awesome roar! I used to crack everytime the ad came on the air. So my best friend bought me one for Christmas.

I crack up over those Prestone ads with the Godfather-like characters...
"I offered you protection, and you didn't accept my help...Take him to the trunk!" spoken to a guy whose car broke down, then three big "wiseguys" carry him to see a trunkload of Prestone additives, anti-freeze, etc...the character's hair alone could lube an 18-wheeler.

"The best part of waking up... is folgers in your cup..."
From when I was a kid- college(?) guy comes home for the holidays as a surprise to his family. Sees his kid sister on the stairs waiting for santa- tells her not to go wake thier parents. He goes tot eh kitchen and make s apot of coffee that wakes them up. Mom comes downstairs and says "PETER!"
It makes me grin every time. I dont' know why- just a good childhood memory of the commercial. My sister and I would throw ourselves at eachother squeeling "PETER!" every time the commercial came on. It was hilarious.
