Half the time I don't even know what the commercial is:
There's people running in fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean.
Like: "That is the greatest disease ever. How do you get that?
That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy."

I will never forget, as long as I live, my "mentor"/good friend who, in the late 1970s was in her late 50s and we lived in the City and she had no car, took the bus to work, she and her sister lived together. She was an editor, loved good literature, conversation, music; she and her sister (I think a couple years older than she was) did their own things and my friend, Anne, told a story of running into her sister, Betsy, in a mom & pop grocery store and her sister greeted her, "Dr. Livingston I presume?" and some store clerk overheard and from then on addressed her as Dr. not understanding the reference :-)

Anyway, Anne's at work one day humming a tune that keeps repeating itself in her head only she couldn't identify it, had no clue what it was and asked someone. She'd been humming/singing, "Sooner or later, you'll own Generals!" a tire commercial! She had no idea what "Generals" were http://www.generaltire.com and had never owned a car, etc. She rarely watched TV but the jingle had grabbed her.
