Funny commercials

The beer poll reminded me of a funny commercial and I thought that'd make a good thread. If you know of any commercials that stick out in your head tell us about it on here. However if the commercial had some joke or something and it was in a language different than English it may not translate as well. In that situation you'd be allowed to re-word it. Also, it might help if you put the geographic location in which the commercial was aired.

Midwest America
One commercial that really sticks out is for Eagle Insurance. In this commercial there are two women driving and they rear-end someone and the passenger asks "do you have insurance." The driver says "oh no, no I don't!" and then there's a thud on the roof. They get out and see a 6 foot eagle-man on the roof. He says to the two women "I have something for you" and some goofy sound effect is played and then an egg appears. The egg hatches and a baby eagle has a car insurance quote. The women say "aww, look at those low rates." Then the naration and contact information is there.
The thing that makes the Eagle insurance commercials so rememberable is the lack of care of production. It's one of those "you can see the zipper" things. It's so cheap, the sound and video quality are way below par, the actors aren't even that good. This is one of those commercials you have to see to think it's funny.

I love funny commercials. My favorite is the one where the caveman is trying to deliver a stick by dinosaur when he should have used fedex. Funny - Commercials .NET

I liked the dead hampster commercials for Quiznos. The ones based on the RatherGood.com skit "We Like The Moon".

Course, I was probably the only one who liked them, since they were only aired for a short time, lol.

They were on a few years ago when Quiznos was doing the "$1.00 off for any coupon" promotion. Where you bring in a coupon for anything, like an oil change or hair plugs or whatever, and you'd get $1.00 off.

Quizno's Rats Commercial

The rats, are dead, haha. Dude, the rats give quizno's a bad image. It makes it seem like quizno shops are rat infested. Here's a link to the quiznos one if you want to check it out. funny-commercials.net/watchCommercial.php?funnyCommercial=Quiznos-Rats
