Dan's Top Ten Commercials!

I took the initiative and am putting my list up now. This is a pretty haphazard list. I had trouble thinking of some, despite commercials being a medium whose sole purpose is to be memorable.

10. Osh Kosh B’Gosh
When I was a kid, this commercial appeared on every tape that I had recorded off television. We would inevitably fast-forward through this commercial every time we popped on a Christmas or Halloween special.



9. Spike TV
Spike TV has been showing the original Star Wars trilogy nonstop for the last few months. They advertised this with a cute commercial starring a lovable Ewok.



8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pies
The Ninja Turtles were constantly on television; they appeared in toy commercials, food commercials, cartoons, movies, I even recall having a tape of a stage/music show. One product the Turtles shilled were gross Hostess pies. I remember eating these, but I can’t imagine I enjoyed them.



7. McDonald’s
This is the first appearance of Ronald McDonald, and he is a frightening sight. I don’t know who thought a thinly veiled pedophile would make a good mascot.


6. Pizza Hut
The Pizza Head Show series of commercials were shown constantly during the early to mid nineties. These commercials featured the naïve antics of Pizza Head, and the malicious Steve’s desire to destroy him. This particular commercial has a Star Wars theme!





5. Trix/Milk
See what happens when the poor rabbit finally gets his bowl of Trix! Will he finally discover that all of the colors taste like Lemon Pledge?



4. GM
This commercial shows a robot contemplating suicide. ‘Nuff said.



3. Baby Wee-Wee
This commercial appeared on The Soup and it is absolutely hilarious. Watch as a creepy father inappropriately touches his daughter’s doll, causing its penis to rise and shoot pee.



2. Halo 3
Remember how excited we all were for Halo 3? That was due in part to this badass commercial:



1. Black Herbal Toothpaste
This commercial is wrong on so many levels.
