I DVR the AMC series Mad Men. I love that show. I grew up with advertising in the 1980's. I was born in the 60's and if not for those women in Mad Men I would not have had the opportunities that I did.
With the DVR you fast forward through the commericals. But I stoped when I saw Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld in an ad. I watched the ad for Microsoft and marvel at the creative brilliance. You have no idea what they are selling until the end. Gates and Seinfeld are cultural icons on different sides of the spectrum.
Here's the commerical - it's brilliant.
