   One that sticks out in my mind is the one for the Honda Civic with the   
   sound effects provided by the choir.   
      
   Very cool ad.   
      
   Having said that, there are a few good Canadian ads as well.  There's   
   currently one for FedEx where two guys in a warehouse are   
   brainstorming about how to get a package from Canada to Germany.   
      
   Guy 1: "So let me get this straight - we need to get the package from   
   here... to Germany?"   
      
   Guy 2: "That's right."   
      
      
      
   Guy 1: "Well, that's impossible"   
      
   Funny stuff, though I don't do it much justice here.
