Not the one I was thinking of. This one featured Tony Hawk in action with some birds. It was one of the top Super Bowl commercials of all-time.

All of these are correct, Libby! :) :) :)
Except that #4 wasn't the one I was thinking of. The one I'm thinking of was first pitched by Swedish model Guinilla Knudsen and then-New York Jets star Joe Namath. Raquel Welch has also done these. The tag line was :"Take it off, take it all off".
BTW, welcome to the boards, Libby! ;)
