Did you know there's like, an insane amount of weird commercials about Skittles? Like, really weird? Sleep-with-a-nightlight weird?

I watched them all for you. You can thank me later. For now, here are the top five. Find the videos for 2-5 after the jump!

I'm a sucker for TV commercials. I even think they should be put on TV DVDs, though I bet some people would hate that idea.

But it got me thinking about all of the great TV commercials we've had for food over the years. After the jump, eight classics. I'm not saying that these eight are the "best" (though some could be), but they're eight that I really enjoy.

Remember those wacky guys who made a miniature log cabin out of meat? Well, they've done it again, this time using a variety of meat products to create a seaworthy vessel to sail the ocean. This time, they've helpfully posted a list of all the products they used to bring their ship to life, so we don't have to wonder what it is. Sadly, this creation is not 100% meat, they were forced to use some pastry dough for structural support. However, the best part of all this is the time lapse video they posted on YouTube to accompany the photo gallery.

I don't eat cake much at all, but for the past week I've had an incredible craving for it. I think I might be pregnant.

To celebrate my buying of cake tonight (yellow, with chocolate frosting), here's a Duncan Hines commercial from the early 80s. I love cake without frosting too, if it's really moist (though I'll happily eat it with frosting too). Is it weird that I remember this commercial like I saw it yesterday, including all the dialogue and camera angles?

Yes. Yes it is. Full commercial after the jump!

Yes, I know it sounds like the name of some psychedelic band from the 60s, but it's actually the concept behind a new TV commercial from Domino's. If you haven't heard, they have a new dessert on the menu, the Oreo Pizza. It's a big dessert shaped like a pizza, only with so many Oreos on it that you get a mustache when you eat it.

Is it me or is the commercial rather ...off-putting? Take a look after the jump and see what you think.
