The Where's the Beef? campaign that Wendy's ran lodged itself in the national consciousness, even making it into a Ronald Reagan speech. However, it failed in one great respect: A large percentage of people who knew the tagline couldn't identify what company it belonged to!

The actor with a "specific set of skills," Liam Neeson, threatens to go after another player who's stealing his gold in this minute-long spot. Clash of Clans led the $25 billion smartphone gaming market, so the $9 million this commercial cost was money well spent.

Besides, those old phones were heavy ... you could crack a skull.
