The two greatest television ads of all time

[Vort]

In my mind, unquestionably the greatest (and most shamelessly cynical) ad ever to run on television:

Running a not-too-distant second, the ad with the catchiest tune and undisguised hero worship, absolutely perfectly timed in its release at the height of Michael-mania (perhaps even causing the height of Michael-mania):

 

So which do you pick? Coke or Gatorade? Or is there another TV commercial that you think deserves consideration as the GOAT?

No matter how many billions you spend on marketing Coca-Cola will never taste better than DrPepper.

ALL I drink is water.  UNLESS I treat my self to a soda on the rare occasion.   When I do, that soda is Moxie.

You are the second person I know who drinks that. My grandfather drank that stuff all the time. At his gravesite some family members leave empty bottles of Moxie to him in tribute. 

it's an old New England soda everyone. No alcohol or anything. 

And of yeah, it's disgusting and should never be drank by anyone who likes their taste buds.

Yeah, your Coke and Gatorade commercials are kinda great.  But nothing has the staying power of these two culture-defining commercials that wrote themselves into the DNA of every American born in the early '70's.

My husband's family love ginger beer and ginger wine (both non-alcoholic). For me, terrible tasting stuff.

The bench finds Dr. Pepper to be the superior drink.  Judgment to the Respondent.  Fees to Respondent.  And @pam owes @Just_A_Guy another root beer, just because.

(I'm mad with power.  Mad, I tell you!)

Now wait a gosh darn minute.  Just because I bought you one root beer at dinner doesn't give you the right to start demanding more of my awesome generosity.

Now look what you've done.  Gone and triggered me, you have.  Better make it a root beer float.

JAG can I hold you in contempt?  Because I'm feeling contempt for your unjustified demands.

I'm so glad you realize that.  I would recommend starting the repentance process at once.

You can't call me to repentance.  I call YOU to repentance!

I can do whatever I want.  I'm the admin.

[pam]

And you can't do a call with a call.  That's like answering a question with a question.

[pam]

And I can see you are still in denial.  Hard to repent when you can't see the error of your ways.

Note to self:  If I ever need to create a diversion, start a discussion about root beer when @pam and @Just_A_Guy are around.
