As a child and being hooked to a television like a far too curious spotted bass, there are a few advertisements I remember, even 20 years later. The classic Wazzup?! Budweiser ad is one. So are various 'This is Bob' enhancement spots. Mazda's zoom-zoom series of adverts are another. Trouble is, I never thought Mazdas had that much zoom to them ever. Okay, sure, you got the cult classics like the FD RX-7 and the front tire shredder Mazdaspeed 3, but that's really it, and both are from decades past.
