    That's a good one, MadamKelly. He has to be the worst ... and the luckiest driver in history!

    I remember most of the ones you all have written about so far. They just don't come up with the catchy jingles like they used to.

    Who remembers "An-ti-ci-pa-a-a-tion is makin' me wait!" (Heinz ? ketchup)

    I enjoy the AFLAC duck commercials.

    The one from childhood that I just loved was a dog puppet who sang, "N-E-S-T-L-E-S. Nestle's makes the very best....chocolate." The word chocolate was drawn out and the puppets mouth was wide open. Simple, but effective.

    Seems like most of today's commercials are about prescription medications where they spend most of the time talking about the side effects. Depressing! I wish these pharmaceutical companies would stop spending so much money on these commercials and would instead provide the meds at a more affordable cost for everyone. The other half of the commercials seems to be about lawyers wanting you to sue the pharmaceutical and medical supply companies.
    My favorite current commercial is the one where the two toddlers are sitting on their dad's (or grandpa's) feet and hanging on to his legs while he walks around pretending to be a monster. (Something's got a hold on me).

    I wish QB had a 'like' button. There are so many commercials you all have mentioned that I remember and liked a lot.

    Love the commercials with the talking babies... tho I was so fascinated by the funny babies that I forget what was actually being advertised.

    I also love the Geico cavemen. The gecko... not so much. Guess they ran out of jokes for the cavemen, as they are long gone.

    We found the Hamm’s Beer bear commercial online and watched a few with our grandson who had never seen it. So cute. I also liked the “Frito Bandito”
    You didn’t ask for a hated commercial but there used to be a local one about replacement windows. She said she was the owner of the replacement company and for some reason I don’t recall, she was telling a lie and proudly admitting it. Made me mad.
    Every morning I hear a car salesman & his grown daughter on the radio. Her whiny voice is like fingernails on a blackboard to me, so if I can, I leave the room for a while.

    Oh! The talking babies were the Etrade babies.

    If this is the commercial I am thinking of, the family are on a road trip for grandpa (who is in the urn). They are fulfilling his dream and taking him to 'see' parts of the USA. It tears me up too.
