Not sure. I know I have a few, I just can't remember them at the moment.

The Bill Murray Groundhog commercial is the best of all time.

Other than that, I love the commercials that are attached to things like old game shows and whatnot, like What's My Line? Deodorant, refrigerators - they're so different today, and advertised completely differently. It's like watching the Twilight Zone, and how its space episodes are handled completely differently depending on whether the episode aired pre moon landing or post moon landing.

Every time I watch the older stuff I wind up calling my Mom and asking her questions about her experiences growing up, the daily tasks she did and items she used. I love reading about bygone times, but something about TV stuff really drives it home that though we're sharing the same planet, the different generations lived in and experienced entirely different worlds.

The woman in this commercial is not an actress. Her and her family really do own the animal sanctuary seen in the advert...
