Real Rube Goldberg

Here is one for a commercial:

And one of my all time favorites, using only parts for a european spec honda accord (and this is real, and like the one above took insane amount of hours to make, including many many takes).

On a side note, I really wish we would get a TSX (which is basically the European Honda Accord) in station wagon form, or really any cars in decent looking wagon form.
