Are there any commercials on tv that you DON'T hate?

I like the Progressive ad where Jamie’s dad tells him “I didn’t raise no insurance man!”

So one day I was stuck (er, blessed) with watching two car loads of kids, I put on Jurassic something or other on the tube.

The kids were frightened when a T Rex chased a little girl under a bad.

Gary (the parrot who was in awe of the T Rex) quoted this commercial to the little girl...

Ask your doctor if "Tralfaz" is right for you.
Then they run down a list of side effects
that make whatever condition it treats
sound like the better alternative.

...and to have been so good for so long is a tribute to their ad agency and other creatives involved in producing their ads.

The Liberty Mutual ads have been pathetically bad for years, particularly in relation to the ads from their competitors, and I'm starting to think that might be deliberate. They're vapid and unfunny in a way that's close to embarrassing.
