I think my personal favorite may be the ad for the facing double-toilets,
built for couples who want to share one of the truly most intimate (or
private) human experiences.  But one of the all-time classics, going back
to the '70s, has to be the ad for the car that drives so smoothly that a
rabbi can perform a circumcision in the back seat and not hurt anyone.
