Ha, I forget what most commercials are trying to sell. I'm a commercial watcher. At least I used to be until the drug companies took over the airways. A few weeks ago we were in England. Not a single commercial for drugs over there or anywhere in Europe I understand.
There have been some great TV ads over the years. A few have stuck in my head. Speech, spicy meatball for instance. It's not fun to fool mother nature, and one of the best was the Budweiser frog commercials. One more I just thought of had a guy and his dog sitting on the front steps of his house. The guy is talking about what, I cannot recall. The dog answers, "What are you talking to me for, I'm a dog".
