I think I ate the bones!

This one is better:

 

This one turned out to be a fake, but it's extremely well done:

 

This one is not necessarily funny, but I think it's the most visually-stunning and moving commercials I've seen in years. It answers the question: how does a big cat get from Moscow to Paris in 3 minutes, while selling a $5000 wristwatch?

 

This is one people tend to hate.

 

I didn't see any hateful comments, many thought it was funny.

 

How about a classic:




I remember clearly the first time I saw this in 1969. I happened to be at my grandparents' house lying on their couch. I laughed so hard I literally fell off the couch...yes, literally.

 

Oh, this one is great. It's a French commercial, but it works in any language. And it's so true...

 

I loathe any commercial in today's times...disgusting crap. I will give the Super Bowl Commercials a high five though.

 

yea, you had to go out of the US to find something of merit!

 

yea, when they knew how to make 'em...

 

I love that "ate the bones" commercial.

Some other favorites:

 

notice how we have to dig deep to find the fun?

 

Ah! I was really wondering how they could've pulled that off. It is very funny though.

I like the recent Sears appliance ads that mock commercials for reality shows, rom coms, etc. Really clever, hard to believe they're from Sears.

'Connecting Flights' (this one's particularly brilliant, managing to cram every RomCom cliche into an ad for refrigerators)

The Doritos 'Goat 4 Sale' ad from last year's Superbowl still kills me. Absolutely classic.

I was a mailboy for Doyle, Dane & Bernbach (the ad agency) during the summer of 1971. Every so often they would do presentations of their current commercials. It was better than most TV shows.

 

Funniest ad that I've seen in ages

 

This commercial fostered a catchphrase in France:

 

I couldn't find this one on Youtube, but here it is on an ad site. The Nissan Murano "wilds of civilized society" commercial from 2003:
