Many commercials are quite entertaining, especially those with lots of
female pulchritude.

The Beautiful History of pulchritude
If English poet John Keats was right when he wrote that "a thing of
beauty is a joy forever," then pulchritude should bring bliss for many
years to come. That word has already served English handsomely for
centuries; it has been used since the 1400s. It's a descendant of the
Latin adjective pulcher, which means "beautiful." Pulcher hasn't
exactly been a wellspring of English terms, but it did give us both
pulchritude and pulchritudinous, an adjective meaning "attractive" or
"beautiful." The verb pulchrify (a synonym of beautify), the noun
pulchritudeness (same meaning as pulchritude), and the adjective
pulchrous (meaning "fair or beautiful") are other pulcher offspring,
but those terms have proved that, in at least some linguistic cases,
beauty is fleeting.
