In the US, the FCC regulates a lot of what people are seeing on TV. So when a really entertaining commercial turns up, we tend to take notice. The new Old Spice campaign has sparked the public’s interest recently. Isaiah Mustafa has gained a name for himself as their spokesperson. Also, Super Bowl commercial spots are hot commodities for big name brands. Some of them go for over $2 million dollars just for a 30-second ad.

Some of the funniest commercials come from overseas where restrictions are lighter. Condom commercials get raunchier. Alcohol commercials get sexier. And commercials selling food products just get crazier.
