This is honestly probably the greatest commercial of all time. It predated the 2007 crash by several years and perfectly encapsulated how we were heading there. I remembered it all along, it was one of those rare commercials that actually shaped my worldview, resolving to save up for years before plunging into home ownership and not going into massive debt for it.

Since you got that one covered, here's another one of my favorites:

The commercial also had a significant impact on my world view. I remember seeing this ad run on cable TV all of the time when I was in my early teens thinking how idiotic someone would be to go into massive debt just to make themselves look good. I never had that kind of upbringing, but the kids that did sure enjoyed making fun of me for being "poor" (my parents were so anti-debt that they did not even have credit cards).

I envied the hell out of people much more well off than me.
