I found it. This was the work of the genius director Chris Cunningham
Playstation - Girl (English)
A friend of mine told me that this was dubbed into many languages and the lip-syncing somehow looked perfect, but i've only ever seen the English one.

Ever turned up the volume for a commercial?

I liked that VW Golf one so much. Must find that remix!! also liked the discovery channel one.
Did any of you think any of the ones I linked were good?
Just remembered another one, will try to find it now. This was for a long time the only thing people had seen of Avid Merrion. It was months before he started Bo Selekta.
Red Square - Chickens
still makes me laugh

I like the Compare the market.com ads where they have this Meerkat saying its not his site. The recent ad is this whole epic like how the jews crossed the red sea, but with meerkats suffering. Then if you actually go to the fictional http://www.comparethemeerkat.com it actually is a spoof site that redirects you to the real site. Funny stuff.
A commercial thread! Those are all good ones. Never saw that Judderman one before.
Here's a mixed bag

Burger King has done some pretty controversial ads, at least in the US. This poster was from last year, and it pissed a lot of people off. Frankly though I was a huge fan of it it since I thought it was funnier than hell.

Where is that trojan condom one with the gymnasts?
I always meant to try that burger out just on principle. The ad agency that does Burger King's ads and commercials is easily one of the most creative, if not slightly disturbed, agencies in the country. Hard to believe they're from Miami. But between the Subserviant Chicken (http://www.bk.com/en/us/campaigns/subservient-chicken.html), the creepy Burger King commercials, and even the Xbox games, these guys know how to generate press and attention.
What about advertising slogans or catch-phrases?
I find myself strangely affected by mass effect 2's "fight for the lost". i was completely disinterested in the original game or in this sequel until i started seeing advertising banners on sites with that phrase on. now i want to buy/play it ... i don't even have a 360
