Default best and worst TV commercials

For the worst I nominate any commerical with billie mays; this guy actually screams the praises of mighty putty.

For the best, well I would have to think long and hard. There haven't been too many that strike my fancy.

My favourite commercial ever, that often ranks highly in UK polls. One of the launch commercials for the PlayStation.

Oh yeah, I remember that one. I love the expression on the face of the kid half way through who says "conquered worlds"...

My favourite is Honda's "cog"
