Kind of creepy, but I enjoy the latest Progressive Insurance ads with "Flo" and her family around a dining table.

Not sure if they're pulling a "Nutty Professor" thing where she plays all the characters, but I keep watching, which is obviously what they want.

It's clear she is all the characters.

I hate Flo and recently there have been radio spots with her singing.

I'm enjoying this one right now.

I especially liked trying to figure out who/what was behind it the first time I saw it.

Those Kevin Bacon ads are pretty cool.

I like this vintage Dolby tv ad.

As seen in APOLLO 13 (1995) This is how the postal service handles items in the UK.

Thankfully nothing I will ever have to hear. I gave up on radio 10-15 years ago, strictly CDs of my choice since then.

Only catching a few TV commercials now because of a DISH issue, but once I decide on the best solution, back to the DVR and the FF button.

Radio? radio...?

Hmmm....

Oh, right. That's that broadcast service that infrequently interrupts its stream of ads with a song.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but a traditional holiday reposting favorite:

I find this one to be rather enjoyable.

I love all those "dogs driving a car" commercials from Subaru.

Wanna feel old? How about some early 70s TV show promos -

This 1986 CBS college football broadcast between Arizona and UCLA had a halftime segment called The Prudential College Football Report with Jim Nantz, and within the same (Jim will throw to commercial twice within this segment) are commercials for The Prudential (which no longer has "The" in its name and is simply Prudential). In fact, Don Robertson's billboard V/O (from whence I got my signature on this forum) was, IMO, some of the best advertising that Prudential Financial ever had (which is why my signature quotes that billboard). The segment starts at the 1:42:20 mark, but for some reason, the embedded video does not reflect that, so you'll have to manually scroll to it.
