Speaking of spoof commercials, how about the Energizer bunny? Not sure if this ad campaign was played worldwide or just the U.S. (do they sell Energizers in Europe?). First ad had a bunch of battery powered toys that beat on plastic snare drums, and gradually they all stop drumming until there is one left. And you think, I get it, this is the one with the Energizer in it. But then that one stops, and then there's a big pink toy bunny banging on a huge bass drum and zipping across the set. I think they made a second version of this then where the first part is shorter, and the pink bunny not only goes across the set but off the set and busts through a wall or screen or something. From then on, the pink bunny kept crashing the sets of spoof commercials. For like 5 years, any time you see a new commercial it's like "Is this a real product, or is the pink bunny about to steal the show?" My favorite was a spoof for a Preparation-H type product called "SitAgain" feature some saddle-sore cowboys on the open plains.
