Although that is a great commercial, there are two that come to mind that are better IMO. The first is also the most expensive commercial ever made. You have to turn up the volume to really appreciate it.
(I could watch that over and over forever, especially the 1968 car. Music!)

The second is a true classic:

Ok. I thought of a third one. It's really big.

I'm assuming it was so expensive because they actually had to clear streets and pay for a buttload of insurance?

Therion should totally do that as an alternate version of O Fortuna.

This is one of my favorites:



I enjoy all of the Snickers Feast commercials. They can all be found on YouTube.

That is the uncensored version. The last scene did not make it onto tv.
