Playboy Collects 21 Sexiest Commercials of All Time

Playboy has collected a treasure trove of sexy commercial and ranked the top 21 in it’s February 2008 issue. The 21 finalists are ranked in the printed magazine but online they are still open for voting. Believe it or not, we don’t read Playboy but AdFreak’s Tim Nudd does and he shares some of the rankings.

Many of the finalists have been covered here on Adrants such as the famed Paris Hilton Carl’s Jr. Bentley commercial, Britney Spears’ Curious, Coors Light Twins, GoDaddy, Miller Light and Victoria’s Secret. Some of the 21 are quite old such as Noxema’s 1967 commercial featuring Gunilla Knutson cooing her man to “take it all off,” Suzanne Sommers’ Thigh Master commercial from 1991 and the famed 1980 Calvin Klein commercials featuring Brooke Shields.

It’s a stellar collection of memorable commercials well worth revisiting if you’ve seen them before or to catch if you’ve never had the chance (or weren’t born yet).
