The Waldegrave Higgs Challenge In particular David Miller's now famous party political workers at a cocktail party. Based on solid state (phonons - quantized excitations of the lattice, effective mass of electron etc.). Very nice but over used.
Peter Higgs at CERN explaining (alludes to the slowing down of light when it passes through a dense medium, plus dispersion relation)
