VH1’s 25 Greatest Commercials special, which premiered Saturday, is worth a viewing if only for Linda Kaplan Thaler’s inspired re-enactment of the orgasm scene from The Kaplan Thaler Group’s 1999 Herbal Essences spot (No. 25 on the list). This woman has a future in a Rob Reiner movie.

VH1 selected the winners—U.S. spots only—by consulting other best-commercial lists and industry insiders, says executive producer Norman Green. Ads range from the classic (Apple’s “1984”) to the contemporary (Arnold’s “Mister Roboto” for Volkswagen from 1999).
