    The Hands in My Pocket commercial....I mean the song is annoying, and an insurance broker putting his hand down a clients pocket...plain weird.

    I have to vote for the 1980s "Max Headroom" commercials for best. I believe he was selling Coke.

    I also liked the old Jim McMahon "Outrageousness!?" commercials. I believe he was selling Honda motor scooters.

    Amazing I can remember the commercials but not the items they were peddling.

    The current Blue Bell spot is one of my favorites, about mama hollering through the screen, would you kids like some homemade ice cream?

    That Filet-o-Fish one reminds me of Mert and Spnited arguing.

    And then they brought that damn bunny in and it hasn't gone away since. For their next commercial, they should have this guy run in screaming and stomp on the bunny!
