Ad and Commercial Quotes - Random Trivia Questions

Reading about how MythTV detects commercials really got me thinking. I haven't really watched many television ads since I bought my first VCR about sixteen years ago. That is, I haven't watched many in real-time. The interruptions just whiz by in fast-play mode, and if they look interesting enough, I'll watch them once.

Alas, my childhood was spent without VCRs, and probably worse still, without remote controls. Which means that I had viewed umpteen million television ads by the time I left home for college. Some of the following questions cover recent pitches, but most of them go back to the golden era of "don't touch that dial" TV commercials. (Bonus question: what brand is most associated with the number of questions in this quiz?).
