You know, ones that actually sell products and services rather than just make you wonder, WTF?

My first nominee is the Verizon map. I gotta admit I switched to Verizon a few months ago and that map was in my head when I did so.



The other one was Mac and PC. I'm a PC guy, but I have to admit, they were pretty effective when Vista was MS's OS . Interestingly, when Windows 7 rolled out, those commercials seemed to disappear.



Edt: Honorable Mention: Viagra

"Please seek medical attention for erections lasting more than 4 hours." Yeah, right. Are you gonna provide a nurse or something?

Dish Network commercials about the hawhpah probably does more for DirecTV than the actual DirecTV commercials... Those Dish commercials are beyond annoying.

Sam Adams has some of the best advertising around imo. Definitely when it comes to beer. Not many commercials are about the beer.

No they're not gonna provide a nurse. They're gonna give you a shot in your penis.
Something to consider.

Dos Equis kills it. Does it have anything to do with the beer? No, but that has to be one of the more successful ad campaigns ever. I feel like people went from not even knowing it exists to buying it at bars all the time.

Rafael Palmeiro made Viagra commercials when he was averaging .270 and 40 HR. I think it helped his wood.

Google has the most creative and effective commercials on the air hands down.

Is that the one with Beyoncé with the chain with the word "upgrade" in big gold letters and shite?

That made me NOT want to buy it. It works both ways.
