Mine currently (even after seeing it repeatedly):
The Sumo wrestler Figure Skater Ad for Geico (I love the look on the face of the watching female skater on the bench with her coach--LOL)

(3,276 posts)and can't even remember what company produced them - I think it was a bank or credit card company - but there were two commercials that were a take-off on the Geico caveman series.
In one, a caveman was working in a store that sold office equipment. He said to his customer, "Here's your paper shredder" and handed the customer a goat.
In the other, the caveman was working at a hotel reception desk. He said to the customer, "Here's your wake-up call" and handed the customer a rooster.
As I recall, Geico got the series stopped and taken off the air, but they cracked me up every one of the few times I saw them.

I always like the Golden Retrievers driving the car (Suburu?), especially the puppy in the car seat.

(being boaters, it's funny and true) and the dogs' reactions are hilarious.

Here's another one I like a lot.

(2,343 posts)It was made a la the "Take on Me" music video. It ends with a guy in a work meeting being awakened from his daydream just as he's singing a high note and then he just kinda trails off seeming embarrassed.

And this Hyundai ad:
