Post videos of the stupidest commercials you remember here.

Here is mine - the Frosted Flakes commercial when Tony the Tiger rides a horse:

Many of the Frosted Flakes commercials are pretty dumb, but this one is particularly amusing because it works on so many levels:
1) Cheesy Tony the Tiger theme song (as always)
2) Tiger riding a horse
3) Eating frosted flakes makes the horses run faster?
4) Little kid being made fun of by older kids (dressed in Western wear, nonetheless) because his horse riding skills are inferior to theirs

My vote would be any of the kraft macarooni commercials.

For some reason, this is the first commercial I thought of when I read the thread title.

This isn't exactly a TV commercial, but was more of a general advertisement campaign, that has been made into a YouTube video. If I recall correctly, there was a disposable record in the Sunday newspaper advertisements that you could play to see if you won.
