Favorite Commercials

[Dave]

We all bitch about commercials while watching TV, but I think they are more entertaining and have more thought put into them than most TV shows. The publicity and chatter that the commercials aired during the Superbowl proves my point to some degree.

I like the new Huummer commercial, where the kid builds a Hummer for a soap box derby race, then goes off road.

[Freak]

Back in the late 80's or early 90's, Bugle Boy Jeans had a commercial featuring hot women in bikinis and/or lingerie while strutting their stuff. Text scrolled on the bottom of the screen saying something like "We here at BB Jeans know what guys want to see, therefore we are not showing our products. Instead look at the women." I don't remember what exactly it said, but I do remember the women...and the company as well. Isn't that what the commercial is for, to remember the company/product? Good job if you ask me.

[shotglass]

Terry Tate, Office Linebacker....wish they had some more of those. :D

[DMS]

My favourite commercial right now is the one from Lendingtree.com with that guy on the little lawnmower...
"how do I do it? I am in debt over my eyeballs" :hehe: Great.

The new Subway commercial with the guy washing his car in a cheerleaders outfit dancing to Toni Basil is hilarious.

Sorry that passes for humor in MI. You guys need some Jack-in-the-boxes. Now those are funny.

Who remembers the Tootsie Pop commercials where the kid keeps saying "Pop, pop, Tootsie Pop" and then ends it with "Pop, pop, Tootsie Pop, dad" and the sheep dog's ears stick straight up?
Or, "Speedy Alka Seltzer"?

I love the Federal Express commercial where a very professionally dressed black lady is talking to a white guy in a suit. He is obviously a newly hired employee and she is orienting him. She walks over to a computer and says something like, "Now you can do the shipping. It's real easy." The guy says, "Uhhhhh. I don't....DO shipping. I have an MBA." She looks at him with a concerned look on her face and says, "Oh, you have an MBA". He smiles proudly. She sits down in front of the computer and says, "In that case, I'll have to show you how to do it.".

The announcer says something like, "Federal Express shipping is so easy, even people with an MBA can do it."

*love it*

I don't remember that one, Pete. I just remember the one about "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?" and a blue, cartoon owl taking one bite to get to the center.

[Texan]

Another current favorite is the Gap commercial with this incredibly sexy man in jeans. It's the "Broken in Jeans" by Gap commercial.
A sexy man gets up out of bed. We get to see his bare chest and abs and then shots of his ass in the Gap jeans. The song...."Tempted by the fruit of another" is playing. It's all about various shots of this hot, sexy man in his jeans and it ends with him shirtless, and falling onto the bed on his stomach. Gives another nice shot of his ass and makes any normal woman want to jump right in there with him. :love:

[Peckable]

Texan, I find that commercial highly offensive and morally reprehensible (frickin' GAP punks) :mad:

[Barb101]

LOL, Ya wouldn't ifn it was a woman that was shirtless falling on the bed, now would ya?? :D ;)

Ya know...we found it odd that they played it about every break during the football game two weekends ago. I realize that more women are watching sports now, but I don't think they are the target audience yet.

[Wham Valdez]

That Gap ad really pisses me off. I was in the final round of cuts for starring in that ad and they chose Raoul Bova over me. Just because he's like the "Italian Bradd Pitt" or some crap.

Up here in Canuck Land we mostly just have funny beer ads. I haven't heard of some of the ads you guys are referring to.

[Texan]

Are you serious? Is he Italian? Seriously, I want to know. I seem to have this strong attachment to Italian men. I love the dark, thick, wavy hair, dark skin and dark eyes. The northern accent...etc. I'm very attracted to that type of man. I don't know why. My husband knows that I am puzzled why I ended up with a blond-haired blue-eyed Texan man. (But, he is a gorgeous man!)

[JDub]

cuda? :worry: :p ;)

[Wham Valdez]

nah, he's not Italian. I don't think Italians roll their cars.

I don't want to change the subject, but you know what really offends me in general about commercials. How come they gotta run commercials about products for hemorrhoids, bladder control and acid reflux during the dinner hour. What up wit that?

I mean what's a fella to do? Turn the thing off and have a conversation with the family? :scary:

You forgot the "Hey I know you're eating dinner, but I bleed so much I have to tell you about the extra absorbant tampon because normal ones just won't hold it all" commercial. Mmmm...Mmmm nothing like a plate full of enchiladas when those commercials come on.:fbomb:

[Texan]

I understand where you are coming from, but you can pretty much talk about anything while nurses (like me) are eating and it won't phase them.

Talking about it doesn't bother me, but watching Fear Factor when they try to eat that nasty shit disgusts me!

[shotglass]

The new McDonalds commercials suck. And now they're going to start the new Monopoly game (which we all know is rigged) to add another layer of annoyance.

And does anyone else think Hardee's/Carl's Jr. is copying Jack In The Box?

[Wham Valdez]

We don't have Hardee's, Carl's Jr. OR Jack in the Box up here.
Are they all just burger joints? What's the difference between them?

I get a kick out of the Malibu Rum (think that's what they're advertising), commercial where the bus driver is late and all these passengers start blaming him for them being late..then you see this black guy on a bicycle that says with heavy Jamaican accent: "This is total gridlock."

[JasmineDreamz]

I gotta admit that my favorite one is Christmas morning, mom and dad are staring in amazement at all the good stuff (boats, cars, money, jewels, furs, etc) that is around their tree and dad comments that it must have been some special cookies that the little girl left for Santa and this little red-headed freckled girls smiles and says "I left him cheese". I think she's just too cute. :)

[shotglass]

I like those animated toilet paper commercials that tell us how the 'other' toilet papers leave lint on us.

I don't know about you, but I would rather leave a little lint than leave whatever else might be there....:nuts:

Some women are sensitive and have to be careful about what kind of TP they use.

[Princess PeiPei]

You probably think I’m crazy, but I like the commercial where Kid Rock sings “Somebody’s gonna feel this” and the football player gets Jacked Up. Even my daughter is saying ouch now. :scary:

[Dave]

The one for KFC

Where the guys is gnawing on a chicken breast and his friends ask him what he has done lately because he looks to be in good shape...and with a mouthful of chicken, he responds "eat chicken"

The commercial proceeds to state that chicken is a low carb, high protein food but in little, itty, bitty letters on the bottom of the screen they state that the chicken is high in fat and cholestoral....

Has anyone ever lost weight from eating KFC????

[JDub]

You CAN eat it on a low carb diet. You should pull the breading off. There's nothing else you can eat there, though. What got me was the other commercial, where they play the low fat angle.

[Princess PeiPei]

I like the one where McNabb and his mother take Chunky soup to this guy’s house. After they're done eating, he asks if they can play one game before they go. Then they both start arguing over who gets to be McNabb. The guy finally says "it's my house, I'm McNabb".

[Princess PeiPei]

I love the Budwiser commercial where a reporter is interviewing a football player (Leon) asking him what happened during the game and Leon blames everyone else including the reporter.

Another great one is where the reporter asks him about his injuries and the football player says that in no way will it affect his commercial endorsements. Then when asked about playing that weeks game he says no, I couldn’t risk it.

[Kim Possible]

I just crack up laughing at a new coffee maker comercial. It shows a woman in the kitchen, putting a mini-prefilled filter into a coffee maker with a coffee mug at the base. MEANWHILE, in the background you see a man in bed waving his hand telling the girl that he's ready NOW. :sperm: Anyhow, the chic turns on the maker and dashes into the bedroom shedding her robe (all interesting parts ccovered by doorknobs and the coffee maker.) A moment later the coffee-maker dings and she comes back out in robe and picks up the mug of coffee - comments, "fabulous' and her gentleman friend pats her on the back and says - "I know." The announcer breaks in with, "when you've got 90 seconds to kill..." I fall off my chair every time I see that.
:hehe:

[Texan]

Yep, thats a cute one, K Poss.
I've seen the commercial a few times, but couldn't tell you the brand name of what they were advertising.

[Kimmy]

Anyone seen the Time Warner commercial with Vanessa Carlton? I hate it..with a passion.. don't know why.. I don't like her music, but I've never hated her.

One commercial I do like is the Vioxx commercial that shows the people resembling food. I love the key lime pie lady and the fried egg guy :hehe:

Sideout and I always crack up at the new ones about the Computer...
"I wish my computer would eat all my pictures.... slow down...."
Our favorite - "I wish my computer could make the sound of a Yetti" (and then they guy makes that rolling R yell sound - so funny) LOVE IT!

[wrecker05]

I love recruiting commercials. I always catch this one almost finished.

There is a father and son talking. Father"Are you sure?"

Son"Yes I've made up my mind"

Father makes some kind of mean fatherly remark.

Screen changes to Army of one.

Or somethin like that :cool:

Always makes me want to reenlist. :cool:

[gopsdragon]

The best commercial I've seen in years and still makes me laugh even after the 30th time (that tells you how dry my sense of humor can be sometimes) is the Geico commercial with the cave men. Have you seen it?

Commercial starts of with the Geico spokesman advertising the new web site and says, "Geico's new web site is so easy a cave man could use it..." Off screen someone yells "NOT COOL". The camera breaks away to a caveman throwing down his boom mike, storming off the set, and yelling angry words the guy.

The commercial comes back, this time on TV and he says the same phrase. Camera breaks away to an offended cave man on the couch who jumps up exclaiming, "What's that supposed to mean?" He looks over at primitive caveman buddy manipulating a laptop computer who is very putout, shakes his head and says, "So condescending." The caveman in the back playing some refined piano music has no comment.

[Eagle3]

Here's a good ad for you. :D

I laugh whenever I see those commercials too. A little bitch slap at the ACLU. :cool:

I like the Vonage broadband commercials where someone is breaking something or another. It's the wooo hoooo wooo hooo hoooo song in the background I like. I've been singing that constantly lately. :what:

[Bucko]

I like those HP commercials whre they have pictures freeze in the frames people are holding. Those are really cool.

The California cheese commercials with the cows and bulls are hilarious. Have you seen the one where the bulls are peeking in at the gal cows trying to hear what the 'shes' like in a bull? Very funny

[DMS]

My favourite commercial right now is the one from Lendingtree.com with that guy on the little lawnmower...
"how do I do it? I am in debt over my eyeballs" :hehe: Great.
New ones that I like: those Captain Morgan commercials with "Hercules" and that donkey.
It could have been done without the falling bus though. :bore:

[DMS]

I get a kick out of the Malibu Rum (think that's what they're advertising), commercial where the bus driver is late and all these passengers start blaming him for them being late..then you see this black guy on a bicycle that says with heavy Jamaican accent: "This is total gridlock."
oh i think thats the one :OOPS:

[RicardoHead]

This is a great commercial for a popular product (http://www.big-boys.com/articles/pregwait.html). Takes a sec to load, even on broadband.

[Ojive]

I think those Hemi commercials were pretty cool.
That thing got a Hemi???

[DMS]

My fav of the moment is the one with that balding guy in the raincoat with the cellphone in the train trying to get thru.. password: big boy...big boy! security code: fluffy ...
then in the end when he finally gets thru the train reaches a tunnel..

The other one with the same guy in the kitchen is not so funny. They tried I guess.

[reebee]

I like the Nextel commercials where the techie guys are dancing in the office.

[DMS]

Mr. Barky From Schnauzer? Mr. barky from Schnauzer!

[Ojive]

DSL commercial that Comcast made about the Slowski's Bill and Caroline they are turtles that have DSL and they don't want Comcast hi-speed internet service because it is too slow!

[sissy]

i like the DQ flamethrower commercial.. a gang sitting around the table eating flamethrowers and each time they open their mouths, flames shoot out and scares the shit out of the rest, therefore they open their mouths to scream and flames shoot out of them as well..

and the phone commercial about your "five" friends and the little kid says he has the same friends as his big sister.. cause "their hot".
or the same phone company in the "friends" network where the guy calls all his friends to tell him he is streaking into the game....

[Barb101]

The Comcast commercial where the guy has tiger stripes & the tattoo artist on the phone says, "Sorry, Roger, you tiger now!"

[Temperance]

I like the new recruiting commercials they have now. My favorite one that I have seen in the last couple of days is the one that the Army has out. It starts out like a PC or XBOX military recon game. It shows the soldiers fighting, then the camera turns and you see a couple of people playing the game. Next, you see a soldier on the game turns around and look and talk to the people playing the game. Then it shifts to the regular Army commercial.
I also like the Geico commercials. The cavemen are the best!

[Pistol Pete]

The only commercials I pay any attention to are the GEICO commercials. The exasperation by the caveman reminds me so much of democraps when you ask them a straight political question and they never have a valid answer.

[sissy]

someone tell me what's with that commercial where the guy can't sleep, so he goes to the kitchen and there sitting at the table, is abe lincoln and a chipmunk or something.. and spaceguy in the background... what are those?.. i don't get it..(advertisement is some kind of sleep med)

[Sideout]

"your dreams miss you"

Those are just weird things he used to dream about...when he could sleep ;)

And I think that's a beaver :laugh:

[BlackStatic]

It is a beaver....

I like "He Cheats."
"Hello..... Honest Abe". :laugh:

Right now my favourite commercial is the singing puppies: "There ain't no bugs on me, there ain't no bugs on me, there may be bugs on some of you mugs, but there ain't no bugs on me".

[Pistol Pete]

Fred Thompson's reply to Michael Moore's challenge for a debate about Cuban cigars (or some such stupid matter).

Take a hike, Mike. (http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=611)

[sissy]

a funny one is the guy leaving for work and sees the plumber go next door, who happens to be a gorgeous gal.. he runs back in and starts trying to clog his toilet with different things, at which point, his wife comes to the door... the look on his face.. priceless..
i think the commercial is advertising some kind of toilet..

[austinlacey]

I still like the sugar free jello commercials. :) I love the wiggle stuff. I liked the one with the kid in it better than the all adult one, but I still giggle when it comes on.

[DMS]

I still like mr Barky Von Schnauzer

[justagirl]

I don't know if it counts as a commercial or not, but I love those billboards from God. You know -

"Don't make me come down there! - God"
"Have you read my number one best-seller? There's going to be a test. - God"
"That love thy neighbor thing... I meant that - God"
"I love you and you and you and you and ... - God"
"You think it's hot here!?!? - God"
"What part of "Thou Shalt Not..." didn't you understand? - God"
"Keep using my name in vain, I'll make rush hour longer - God"

Those are CLASSIC!!!!

I've have to say a good one is the Allstate girls and Kasey Kahne, to watch those girls faces when they run into that big tire and it falls on the car is classic:p

Has anyone seen the AT & T Go Phone commercial with Meatloaf and Tiffany? It's a send up of Paradise by the Dashboard Light, named Go Phone by the Dashboard Light. Very cool. The son in the commercial asks dad for a Go Phone and Meatloaf turns around and says..."Let me sleep on it"...in full song. Tiffany plays the "girl". I would put up the link but I'm at work and cannot access You Tube.
