I think Cadburry has been running the same commercial with all the different animals trying out for the bunny job for the last 30 years.

Seems like Flo has been doing these insurance commercials for over 20 years now...

I love the story of the rise and fall of Erin the Esurance mascot.

Their ad agency thought that creating an animated "gamer-heroine" would attract the young male demographic that they were targeting. What they didn't realize is that characters like that are prime for Rule 34. X-rated Erin art quickly popped up and they pulled the character in favor of the faceless Jim from The Office voiceovers.

Growing up, the official start of Christmas season was when the Norelco Santa came sledding down that hill on an electric razor.
