7. David Stanley Chevrolet, Norman OK
Oklahoma gets seriously bad weather all the time, so having a hail damage sale isn't out of the ordinary. But calling it the "Hail Yes Sale", and including a literal tornado of money? Awesome/horrible.

3. Westway Ford, Irving TX
Mean Joe Greed was a staple of 1980s Dallas commercial breakes, but the series he did with the Ultimate Warrior, back when he was just the Dingo Warrior, is amazing, especially when they're pushing Yugos.

2. Suburban Auto Group, Portland OR
This is just part of a whole series of commercials centered on an option you can only get via their dealerships. One thing's for certain: watch enough of them and you're going to want a trunk monkey.

1. Cal Worthington
Cal takes the top spot not for any one ad, but for his lifetime's body of work that saw him wrestle wild animals, ride orcas, and stood on the wing of an inverted airplane... all while trying to sell you a Ford Probe for more than the price of a Mustang. RIP, Cal.
