My poor little brain will probably remember a few more after I submit this post, but these are a some of the commercials I've particularly enjoyed. Some I like because they're funny. Others... I'm not quite sure why, to be honest.
Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch: Whether you liked the sandwich or not, you've gotta admit that song was catchy. Opinions seem to be mixed about whether this was the peak of Darius Rucker's career or its lowest point. Whichever one it is, you know you enjoyed that commercial. Good luck keeping it from getting stuck in your head.
Snickers Dark (Viking and Pilgrim at gas station): You know you mimicked that commercial a few times at least, unless you're one of those mature people who doesn't see the fun in making a fool of yourself for your own enjoyment. I don't think I've ever had a Snickers Dark bar, but I've seen the commercial a bunch of times, and it has brought me joy. (EDIT: Wow, I just linked to the commercial earlier today, but while double-checking if all my links work, I found out that the video has now been removed due to copyright, and can't find it online. And how long has that commercial been on YouTube? It's been a few years at least, and now they decide to take it down? Grrr.)
Snickers commercial with Betty White: Betty White said, "That's not what your girlfriend says." Betty White. 'Nuff said.
Any Mentos commercial: Popping in a Mentos has never turned a negative situation around (I've tried), but I probably couldn't count the times I've caught myself singing the Mentos song without even thinking about it.
Any Survival Insurance commercial: Survival had undoubtedly the corniest commercials I ever saw as a kid. As luck would have it, I like corny. Very much so.
Cheers To You!: I'm still divided on whether or not this product is real or not, since I can't see how anyone would be able to take it seriously. I never actually saw the commercial on TV, but it's still one of my favorites for when I need a quick laugh. Not surprisingly, this has been on FailBlog.
Any commercial with Billy Mays: Billy Mays was, and will always be, the King of the Infomercial. Love him or hate him, you remembered what he advertised. The ShamWow guy was just annoying. I normally don't enjoy commercials, but there was never a dull commercial with Billy Mays. The man with no indoor voice could make gravel interesting. May he rest in peace, unless he'd rather advertise Zorbeez or Mighty Putty in Heaven.
Trigon, whatever it is: If the commercial didn't show the name of the company at the end, I would have no idea what kind of product or business was being advertised. That would not matter to me one bit. I really hope that kid gets to be in a movie or TV show. I could definitely see him making a good actor if given the chance (apart from the Trigon commercials he's been in).
Trident Layers: I can't help but feel for the guy at the end, just like I do for the Trix rabbit those nasty kids won't let have the cereal, although with how sugary Trix is, they're actually doing him a favor. Anyways, the part with the sad utility worker at the end makes me laugh every time. The rest of the commercial is ehh.
Old Navy Performance Fleece: That song has gotten stuck in my head probably more than any other song has. To be honest, this is one of those things I'm not sure why I like. It's not funny, insightful, or particularly interesting. I guess it's the catchiness of the song that makes me enjoy the commercial. I don't understand myself sometimes.
Orbit Gum: Who didn't want to call someone a DooDooHead Cootie Queen or Stinky McStinkFace after watching this commercial?
