We have only had TV commercials in Denmark since the mid 80'ies. However even before some cinema commercials where catchy enough to be included in ordinary talking such as
"Der er altid plads til en til, der bruger Rexona" (There is always room for one more who use Rexona) a deodorant commercial. The phrase is used if you have to squeeze the last person into a car, lift and so on.
Other examples of Danish commercials that have made permanent phrases are "Flot, Martin" ("Nice, Martin" - from a diaper commercial) used to mock someone overly proud of themselves and "Prøv den" spoken in a high pitched monotone voice. Also a mockery phrase.
I don't watch commercials anymore - even if I can see them. I am simply immune to them by now. 15 seconds after I have forgotten the content completely. The only recent commercial I can remember is a commercial for fish.
