Hey, you remember that ad about the…

It’s a pretty cool thing when you find ads that you remember years later, or can find some fun in watching (sometimes repeatedly). I’ve actually got a number of these on my mp3 player and I watch them from time to time.

AMERIQUEST
This one is hilarious. As it turns out, they’re no longer accepting mortgage applications, so who knows how much longer the company will even be around (as the poster of the second video noted, probably should have judged their customers a little more quickly), but these hilarious and clever ads will live on in infamy. Or at least on the internet.

As are the rest of these:

AFLAC
Here are a couple classic AFLAC ads that are always fun to watch.

GEICO
In a world… ahh the king of movie trailer clichés, put to good effect here.

Anyone remember… Police Academy? It’s okay to say yes.

Cingular
Classic.

The follow-up repeats the formula, demonstrating that sometimes a formula needs a bit more of a tweak, but the original’s classic.

FORD
Finally, here’s a classic Mustang commercial, aimed at anyone with a need… for speed!

A few years back 50c rented a theatre at the Rainbow cinema for The World’s Best Commercials. Perhaps it’s time to do it again…
