"I can walk like a penguin!" - Memorable local TV ads?

[TomWaits & you]

Anybody have any memorable tv commercials, particularly of the home-made variety that they remember? The chees(e)y classics that make you smile?

Me, too. "What a giant turtle" gets quizzical looks every time.

This one is before my time, but I gather it brings warm memories. Nothing like stacking 10 cases of beer through the sun-roof of your VW...

Oh damn! Me too ROFL I'll be out shopping with my lady, and I'll do that, and say "I can walk like a penquin!" and of course, since it seems no one around ever heard it, I get some strange looks ROFL
