Anyone have any favorite (classic) commercials?

How about the classic Tootsie Pop commercial? Better, yet, how about the full version, where the little boy meets Mr. Cow and Mr. Fox?

Or how about Robby Benson and "Happy Days"' Donny Most explaining the origin of Reeses Cups?

By the way, where's the beef?

Please, feel free to post your favorites, be they, good, bad, or just plain weird.

Wow, I've seen all of those commercials online, and two out of three on TV ("Where's the beef?" I've seen on TV Land as a retromercial).

One of my favorites is this Game Boy Pocket ad with teenagers and old people bickering.


And there's also this Nestlie Quick commercial (which, incidentally, I had looked for recently and was unable to find until now):

I don't know if the user who posted this thread was aware of that thread (though it has come back recently so it's more likely that he saw it), but that thread's about asking what the appeal of retro commercials are. This one comes off more as a thread about our favorite classic commercials in general.
