Super Bowl Advertising Past & Present

Gawker provides videos of the 25 most memorable TV commercials in past Super Bowls, and AdRants supplies a nice preview of the commercials we will be seeing this Sunday in Super Bowl XLII. The famous Apple 1984 commercial (below) was number two on the Gawker list, but I've seen it on several other lists in the number one position. The story behind how the ad survived to air in the game—over disapproval by the Apple Board of Directors— is an interesting read.
