my favourite commercial at the moment has to be the Viagra ad that shows a series of men of a certain age (indeterminate, but still clearly past the priapism of youth) singing gleefully in the shower. :P
I am not quite sure what all is involved in my liking for this ad, but I do know that there is an element of satisfaction there in seeing an admission that sometimes Willy won't work. You see, I have had a lifetime of seeing ads directed at me, suggesting that my attractiveness to men would be enhanced by my use of cosmetics, form-altering undergarments, hair colouring, crippling footwear and, more recently, cosmetic surgery and botox. Somehow, the admission that (despite all efforts by women to measure up to the standards set by men) sometimes they just cannot follow through on the implied contract and need a little help too strikes me as amusing. :D

And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
