And I agree about Bacharach looking like Lurch. That's part of what makes it so funny to me.
That reminds me of a commercial for some cell phone from a couple of years ago, where some guy is in the woods and he sees Sasquatch, who starts making fun of the guy because he doesn't have a camera and can't get a picture... till the guy pulls out his camera and snaps a pic before running off.
The bit with Sasquatch dancing around singing "Nobody's gonna be-lieve you, cause you ain't got no cam-era!" got me every time. XD

I love the commercial for MLB's "Hometown Heroes" promotion, sponsored by DHL.
The owner of a sports bar receives a package, and the DHL delivery guy says, "Let me guess--more Albert Pujols stuff?" The bar owner replies, "He's the best!"
Then the memorabilia on the wall beg to differ:
Babe Ruth plaque: What am I, chopped liver? I hit 714 home runs! Framed Ozzie Smith card: C'mon, the Wizard of Oz stole 580 bases! Framed Honus Wagner card: In my day, we didn't have bases! We had rocks! Ozzie Smith card: What? Cal Ripken newspaper: Hey, I played in 2,632 straight games! Babe Ruth plaque: I ate 2,632 hot dogs!(Shocked look from Honus Wagner card) Can I get an AMEN from the bobbleheads? (Shelf of bobbleheads bobble)

smittykins, get out of my head! I just came here to post the same thing. This is one of the commercials that causes me to stop whatever I'm doing and look at the TV when it comes on. I love Honus Wagner's horrified look at Babe's hot dog total, and Cal's "here we go again" eye-roll.

There was a commercial for Sierra Mist, I believe, that was only aired once or twice. In this commercial it is a very hot day and there is a parade. In this parade there is a Scottish marching band all wearing kilts. The band leader is looking around and getting somewhat angry as he asks where one of the band members is. The camera then shows one of the members of the marching band standing over one of those vents in a sidewalk giggling happily as he tries to hold his kilt down while the cool air from the vent tries to blow the kilt up. The camera then shows either a man or a woman (I can't remember which) with a little boy who were watching the parade and are now watching the scene unfold on the nearby sidewalk. As the parent covers the little boy's eyes, the boy remarks, "That is sooo wrong!". Then of course the announcer says, "Yeah, it's kind of like that."

I also like the A-1 Steak Sauce commercial with the stranger eating another man's steak. The wife is sitting there trying to get him to stop but also trying not to make a fuss and attract attention. Then her husband comes back from (I presume) the rest room to find that his steak is gone.

I got the giggles yesterday when I saw the new Geico commercial with the movie voiceover guy. "In a world where two cars are underwater..."

My favorite ad parody was one I've only heard once, and my wife and I heard it while driving from Los Angeles to San Diego. It was a parody of the Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" ads, but this one was for a beer brewed in Cincinnati (I've long since forgotten the beer). The ad focused (indirectly) on local Cincinnati celeb Larry Flynt. It brought tears to our eyes. I can only remember parts of the "ad", such as lines like, "Such and such beer presents Real Men of Genius. Today we salute you, Mr. Wheelchair-bound Pornographer!" and "You've shown us women we never knew existed." But the best (and worst) bit was the end, "So stand proud, Mr. Wheelchair-bound Pornographer!"

What makes it funny is that it appears that the woman is yelling at her husband, but its in fact just some stranger eating her husbands food.
