This is a thread like OrangeUte's but focused on TV commercials. There have been some funny and touching ones over the years. (Please, no NSFW stuff here.)
Here's one that I recall from when I was a kid.

This one had me in tears by the end.
I love Volkswagen commercials. The newest one with the guy in the ski mask and the one during football season with the boy and his dad playing catch absolutely killed me. I'm on my phone in a conference so I can't link clips, but I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about. Volkswagen commercials are awesome.

Nothing spurs political action quite like anger and fear. This brazen get-out-the-vote campaign from Tunisia featured an enormous poster of deposed dictator Ben Ali erected in the capital of La Goulette. When angry passersby tore the poster down, it revealed the message: "Beware, dictatorship can return. On Oct 23, VOTE."
An instant classic:
