Which do you think people can identify if you say something about them? Would they relate? Since this is a poll that doesn't require a specific number limit, I'll just limit it to 25 of the 50. You can't pick them all. I certainly won't pick that many.
I accidentally put Vern and Ernest on twice, so just pick the first one unless you want to pick both.

The name, is Dumas. I really liked that one, but that one isn't very old. I found it strange that the name plate had "Dumass" instead of "Dumas", though. I think someone screwed up making the name plate. But I laughed harder at that commercial than any other in the last ten years. Loved the way the guy walked out of the room, clueless, and "Dumas" shook his head and said "what a dumb ass!" Edit: Oh, my! Just looked it up on you tube, and laughed so hard I cried again. But it was older than I thought. I was thinking it was only a few years old. That's how old I am, I guess. It was described as a "nineties commercial", but I swear it was on just five or ten years ago, but it wasn't, was it? I'd love to see this one return. Funniest commercial ever.

I still remember this one... That looks like a very well done, professional ad, but I've never seen it, nor heard of the product. It must be local. What country was that in? I'm sorry I didn't include ads from other countries. A new poll, perhaps, for other cultures, but I wouldn't have the knowledge to concoct such a poll.

"Do you have any gray poo poo? But of course." - It's Grey Poupon "Mr. Whiffle and Charmin" - His name was Whipple "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman" - This reminds me when a friend of mine went into a bar while on a business trip to Philadelphia. Unbeknownst to him, it was a gay bar. He asked the bartender for a beer. The bartender asked him what was the nickname he had for his penis. My friend was taken aback. The bartender explained that he had stumbled into a gay bar. If he wanted a beer, he had to have a nickname for his penis. My friend replied, "My penis' nickename is ' Secret'" "Secret???", replied the bartedner. "Yeah, it's stong enough for a man, but made for a woman." Also, you could add: We're number 2. We try harder. Let Hertz put you in the driver's seat. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on sesame seed bun We earn money the old fashioned way. When E.F. Hutton speaks, people listen. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking
And since you've gone back to pre-1971 cigarette commercials "I'd rather fight than switch" "LSMFT" "Sold to American" "The most important quarter inch in smoking today" "Winston tastes good, like (sic) a cigarette should" |

It played in North America / Canada at the time. I visited there as a kid. It was a serious commercial, but many people thought it had pedo themes to it. It was actually really good fish.

That reminds me of a commercial for Jeno's Pizza Rolls. "Have a piz, have a piz, have a pizza roll" sung to the tune of the William Tell Overture.
Near the end of the commercial, a man walks up to them. While smoking a Lark(?) cigarette, the man says, "I'd like to talk to you about the music you're using". At this point, Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels, in full costume, walk up to both of them and say, "We'd like to talk to both of you about that music."
