The original Ernie Boch Jr. commercial, where he's walking around like some awkward robot and ver creepily turns to the camera over the back of a sofa full of kids watching a huge TV and says "we even make waiting a pleasure." That, or really any JG Wentworth commercial. That guy's seriously fucked up.

Wow, Rockingham County in the house! School committee guy and Hampstead Mulch Madness! My favorites that I can remember... - One that tried to tell parents not to belittle their kids. An ominous voice over said "Sometimes words hit harder than fists", and then you saw a series of lips, saying things like "Hey stupid, don't you know how to listen?" "You can't be my kid", "You're pathetic" etc. - The one where two martians land on earth and discover Earth Fruit. "It's better than good. It's yummy and not bad" I think part of a series of public service ads for kids on channel 38. - Jingle: How does Dinger do it? I don't know! Come to Dinger Ford. In Braintree. - Any of the various Suit Yourself commercials with "The Iron Messiah", and especially the one that parodied those old Mastercard ads. "I got lucky that night... Thanks, Suit Yourself!" - The Rotman's (furniture store in Worcester) ad with Bruins then-rookie Joe Juneau attempting to speak English "Rrrrotman's is yuge"

I quote the martian fruit commercial _all_the_time_... my wife thinks I'm nuts. "What's this? Earth fruit?!"
