Daft Punk selling denim for the Gap with Juliet Lewis is something that always sticks in my mind.

someday
but not today
This is a TV spot written by my dad in 1976, which kicked off a long-running series of ads with this concept and actor (Patrick Campbell, who shows up in Blazing Saddles among many other things) and I’ve always appreciated its goofy deadpan cheapness. The chicken wasn’t in the script, but just happened to be there while they were filming, and would appear in every subsequent entry in the series, regardless of setting and whether or not it made any sense:

I also love this thing, one of the last vestiges of advertising’s Golden Age before everything devolved into noise and buffoonery:

… and an honorable mention to this one, (Super Bowl, sorry) which is pretty good overall but achieves true greatness at 0:33:

Come on, people, at least describe the commercial instead of making GBS threads out a URL.

Commercial for Bell South (a telecom company) involves clowns, bad lip-sync + over the top martial arts, and bullet-time photography, all to advertise...Yellow Pages.

Love this early 00s Nintendo commercial with the weird Being John Malkovich-style ending; the song used is one of my favorites:

Also who can forget the classic CD compilation Pure Moods?

I didn't grow up with these last two but have to share them anyway because they're incredible. Cindy Crawford advertising a Japanese soft drink in an 80s dark fantasy world:

Can't post a music compilation commercial without the GOAT:

Wrigley's commercial from 1986. It was on a tape my grandma made me of some show so I watched it like a million times.
