I need a discussable tv commercial

Ive got an assignment to find a commercial and answer these questions. I figured that this would be a good place to find some people who have seen some good commercials for this assignment. I'm looking for VERY ABSTRACT commercials such that the purpose and audience is very clear but takes some thought to figure out.

1)what was the purpose of the commercial? How can this presumed purpose be supported?

2)Identify the audience the AD Council was targeting? How can this assumption be supported?

3)What techniques were used in the commercial to get the message across to the audience?

$)Was the commercial a success or failure? Why?

Those sprite lemon/lime commercials were pretty off the wall. And NBC or CBS (one of the networks) had some commercial on for a new sitcom that was almost indescribable. Just alot of shots from the show and that question 'did you catch it" i forget what show it was though, maybe someone knows the name.
