I really liked the gushing armpit one too! I thought it was hilarious when people were ducking him.

I'm pretty much convinced that there is not, has never been, and never will be a car insurance advert that doesn't completely suck.   :-X

Taking elements of commmercials here, how about:

A car crash happens, it is really bad, crumpled metal, but it's done in the style of the Nissan cars that change into robots. The hood of one car pops up and out comes a huge gush of car fluid, like the Lynx guy's armpit. Meanwhile, out from behind the car of the guy who has the insurance being flogged, pops the James Brown look-alike chorus, who are all singing Hallejuah sort of stuff. And then the tag line is, "Aren't you glad you have Pink Satin Car Insurance?"

That might be kinda cool for a car insurance commercial. :-P

We are loving the Dairylea cows ads...just so silly and cute.
And an ad for bottled water which features an animated volcano speaking to an adorable Tyrannosaurus Alan (dinosaur). :)

I like the Youuuuuuuuu gotta Switch guy, too--it's his initial entry into the scene that cracks me up. :)

I love that one because I'm in the Earth Sciences department at university and we can study everything from volcanology to paleontology - my Geology society sweatshirt has a picture on the back of a smoking volcano with a dinosaur standing next to it. The image is almost exactly the same as the advert!!

I like the volvic one with the cavemen, the one where you think he has invented the wheel and it turns out to be something very different ;D

The Cravendale adverts are always my favourites! 
Have you seen this one?  I love the sheep on the skateboard that takes the last bottle of Cravendale...

yeah I love that one "come on world I'll have you for breakfast!"
But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.
