This was always one of my favorites because in 30 seconds it creates an entire universe of questions. Where are they? Where are they going? Who are these aliens? How did they meet? Why is the human so far from home?

The GEICO commercial the one with the husband and wife sitting on the sofa and she says "we love their new home but we have "aunts" and the aunts are nosy aunts lol That's too funny to me.

I love this one because the pizza guy is crazy and the customer is just totally deadpan.

(Remember when you used to get two pizzas for the price of one?)

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:

Considering at the time, so many sitcoms and media portrayed marriage as some miserable sex-less wasteland, I freaking loved this so much! I thought, "I want my [future] marriage to be like that!" Examples of awesome marriages were/are so rare on TV, I was happy to get one, even from a commercial.

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.

Yeah, I think I was in early high school or late middle school when it aired.
I'd hope I'd be smart about buying a house w/o ever seeing it... Like...apparently (going by all the "how could we have possibly known how compounding interest works as teens!" excuses for taking on giant student loans) I was the only kid on earth that actually looked at what student loans would cost and what the avg. starting salary of my profession would be and chose an in state school b/c of it.
So I've always generally been not a dumb ass when it comes to financing.

But man, growing up in suburbs with all these people doing add ons and renovations to their homes, obsessively tracking how much their and their neighbors' homes were supposedly worth, and talking about maybe selling and getting something bigger and "better" all the time... It's impossible for me to say for sure that w/o some sort of wake up call like that commercial, I wouldn't have been inculcated into thinking that was normal, rational behavior.

The unedited version of this commercial was a lot better than the version that aired during the Superb Owl.

Nah, if I'm getting modded again it won't be for posting a commercial for soap.
