1. The "Dancing Fat Guy" commercials from the late 80s/early 90s.

I think they must've been local-only in the RTP area of NC. Radio station ads, IIRC. And they were AWESOME!

3. hate to admit that I googled this

There have been many, many "dancing fat guy" ads, mostly in the late 80s/early 90s.

This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA8N-RfZ5Tw (an ad for a gym) reminds me most of the one I remember.

11. The dude in the car dancing to "How Long" to the point of no return

I believe it is some kind of insurance commercial. Dude clearly is enjoying himself.

15. First one that popped into my head was the creepy crazy grampa from 6 Flags.

I voted too soon. That dude from American Werewolf in London doing the very first "I'm a Pepper" commercial was totally memorable.

16. The only one that sticks out in my memory...

...is that Jump Jive an' Wail one. Tan pants from the '90s, I believe. Or the store where they sold them?

Hang on...Google is my friend...

Ah, of course. The Gap.
