• In response to Stephen Colbert endorsing Mayonnaise on his show and criticizing their Totally Radical commercials, Miracle Whip issued a press release promising to air new attacks during commercials of The Colbert Report. And they actually went through with it.
  • Of course to do so they had to purchase ad time on his show. During a recession. Which he used to buy more delicious mayonnaise.

Stephen: "You...win?"

• Have some well-known film villains team up and spread Christmas cheer in this DirecTV ad.
• This
• 24 January, 1984. "Hello, I am Macintosh. It sure is great to get out of that bag."
• This. Yes, they actually made it.
• Nestle had some ads for their Crunch chocolate bar where a Jerkass host would trick people into eating one, only for them to be maimed/killed by a giant boxing glove. (And the host makes an inappropriate racist comment to a sumo wrestler) The last ad, however... the host decides to trick a sweet little old lady into eating a Crunch bar. The old lady takes a bite, and then drops her purse. She bends over to pick it up, and the host gets flattened by the boxing glove. Undeterred, the old lady delivers the commercial tagline, and begins singing a ragtime song.
• Every single Sony Bravia Commercial ever done. This Troper's personal favourite is the one with the Play-Doh Bunnies.
  • My personal favorite is as follows: Toryglen, a public housing tower block in Glasgow where Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill of Simple Minds grew up, was about to be demolished. But before it was, a Sony Bravia commercial/advert was filmed. A very special Sony Bravia commercial/advert.
  • The Walkman Project also counts. They got together a metric tonne of musicians of various disciplines and got them all to play a single note each in a chain of awesome.
  • Their bouncy ball ad is enough to warrant a mention here, because not only is it just EPIC, but every single one of those balls are real, NO CGI, they're real!
• A YouTuber makes a video about a glitch in the Tiger Woods '08 golf game. EA responds: it's not a glitch. He's just that good.
• The world is awesome indeed.
• Dale Peterson. He didn't win the election, but his wonderfully overstated Eagle Land-themed Badass commercial will forever be a classic of political advertising.
  • What happens when you do a parody of an already awesome ad campaign? Even more awesome.
• Bruce Lee playing ping-pong. With a nunchaku.
• The Cadbury advert. With the gorilla. You know the one I'm talking about.
• This Heineken advert is minute and half of pure awesome.
• In 1996, how did Newline Cinema introduce Jackie Chan to the mainstream North American movie audience? By using Ben Stein to provide color commentary to the most kick ass US TV commercial for a martial arts film of the 1990s.
• The Budweiser "Tiny Dancer" commercial. Anything that gets a Badass like Peter Stormare singing an Elton John tune is made of win and awesome.
• He Waits. That Is What He Does. An award winning Guinness advert from 1998.
• This Jameson Irish Whiskey ad
• Even if the Play Station 3 isn't your favorite console, or you don't even play console games, this commercial for the Play Station 3 will make you proud of all the things you've done as a gamer.
• You think that makeup that can fully cover tattoos will never exist, right? This ad, featuring Mulger golden boy Rick Genest, will prove you dead wrong.
• This Kia Optima commercial has everything from exploding kickboxers and submarine-sized sandwiches to Motley Crue and bikini-clad models... and a happy ending.
• This Ad shows you how to hammer a nail right.
• {{[http|//www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz1a3LHSvnY This}} British bread ad of the boy running through the century (122 second ad for the 122 years the company's been around). Absolutely amazing.
