That AFLAC campaign has gotta be a textbook example of hugely successful advertising. They've gotten themselves substantial brand recognition for a product that people seem to know little about, which I imagine is a pretty big edge.

Ok this one is kinda old school but there used to be those shampoo commercials for Pert(?) and the guy would stand there with one half of his head lathered up with Pert and the other half lathered up with the "leading brand" and then he'd say
"This side of my head tingles so I know it's doing something"

And i was like WTF? you know what else would tingle? BATTERY ACID

Eating in a car is one of those gross necessary evils in life that you should try to avoid and never be proud of. Your food doesn't digest well because of the angle and inability to move around. Not to mention that it's horrible preservative-sugar-fat-laden fast food. I just think of those sonic burgers festering in those people's colons, and the farts that must be bursting out of there.

Not to mention they're generally horrible people. Yay, let's eat in a car, get filth all down in the nooks and crannies where it will never come out, and be dicks to each other. Wheeeeee!

Ugh, I seriously can't eat Sonic after watching those commercials.

There's an anti-drug commercial in which a puppy asks a teen to stop smoking pot that infuriates me.

Selsun Blue. I recently went to a costume party dressed as that guy, with shaving cream in my hair instead of shampoo. I left a trail of foamy devastation everywhere. Sadly, this was not a gumpzilla original idea for a costume.

Read an article about this and it's in the running for the most successful campaign in TV ad history. Aflac had a name recognition of less than 5% when they started and now it's close to 95%, and their profits have gone up tremendously, though I can't remember the exact numbers.

Also, I really like some of them, especially the Yogi Berra/barbershop one.
