I love that!

That one is one of my favorite commercials. I also like the McDonald's commercial that has the song "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun."

When I was a little girl, I just loved the commercial where this lady is singing...
I can bring home the bacon
Fry it up in a pan
And never never let you forget you're a man
Cause I'm a woman

I also love the commercial that comes on around Christmas time. The lady that played Aunt Ester on the Sanford and Son show would say "911 911 Santa is in my kitchen stealing my Churches chicken."

and the ultimate...

"Are you gonna try it. Nah, I'm not gonna try it... He's not gonna eat. Uh-huh, he eats everything... He likes it, he likes it, hey Mikey!"

I'd stop in the middle of playing with anything and run to the tv!

and for those who lived in Georgia and North Carolina...

"Vern, saaaayyyys selllllll it!" HATED THAT COMMERCIAL!

I just thought of some more! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Ok, the car commercial where they have people telling secrets. I love the one with the father talking about how his son drops something (food) on the floor and he has to throw it away but he's really thinking of the 5 second rule. I like that one!

Also, the one where the company is trying to figure out ways to sell more cars (I think) and they think of aroma therapy. Then they show the people in the car, and everyone is asleep and the car just goes across the freeway. comedy.....

Ok, I'm LMAO at these posts!!! I am loving this thread! I had forgotten so many of these commercials, especially the Ancient Chinese Secret!! How could I forget that?!
But my favorite so far is silver's comment about Progresso Soup. That cracked me up!!! I just never thought of it like that!! Comedy... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

A recent commercial I'm really feeling is the cheese commercial where the little girl goes up to her father and tells him that her invisible friend "Mr. Giggles" wants some cheese. The father says (in his most smart alleck tone of voice) "Well pumpkin, if Mr Giggles wants some cheese then maybe Mr. Giggles should go out and get a job." At which point the invisible Mr. Giggles snatches dad from his chair and tosses him out the door into the yard....the mother, who is just returning from shopping sees her husband lying in the daughter's pool and says "I see you've met Mr. Giggles".

That's one of mine as well.

Here are others:

1) Wendy's "Where's the beef" with the old lady pondering that question-circa 1980s.
2) Nissan's "Zoom Zoom" (I just like the beat) circa 2000-2001
3)Marion Jones' Mrs. Jones commercials for Nike
4) The Cedric the Entertainer commercial where he shakes the beer in the kitchen and spurts on his date.
5) the UNCF commercial with the Grandma who marvels at her grandson's "hat" after he comments on hers...it's just touching.
6) The California Raisins commercials-circa 1980s with Gladys Knight and the Pips singing "Heard it from the Grapevine"
7) The AFLAC commercials where the duck tells everyone "AFLAC"

Some of my favorite comercials include:

The Blockbuster commercial where the couple returns a "homeade movie" instead of the rental.

The McDonalds commercial where the two black kids are about to eat the french fries and the little girl counts out the fries. She was soooo wrong for that!!

There's another commercial where a lady is at work and she is trying to smoke without anyone finding out. She pulls out her handheld fan and throws the ashes in her plant. Just when she thought she got away with it, her co-worker walks by and lets out a long loud cough!!

Another commercial

The SNICKERS one where the man is supposed to be painting CHIEFS on the field, but he ends up painting the CHEFS-LMAO :d
I think that is the one where he says "GREAT GOOGLY-MOOGLY"

I love the commercial with the 37 year old sponge is trying to smooch off of his parents, every time he asks for something they say..

"You want a data port (Or what ever he may ask for)... what do you think this is a Holiday Inn?!! and they all start laughing!!! that cracks me up!

The beer commercial with Cedric the Entertainer is hillarious!

I also live the Nike commercials with the montages with Jordan, Ray Allen, Derek Jeter, with that SO COOL music. What is that song's name and who sings it? I absolutely love it.


The Chevy comercials "Like a Rock" (Just love the music)


Do you remember the Gap commercial with the Bill Withers sonf "Lovely Day" I just love that one.

I forget the Cruise line it was for but it was 2 women in the middle of a wedding and their talking about the bride and groom. All of a sudden it got quiet as she was saying "This marriage will never last" and the whole church heard it!!! then the narractor says: "Wanna get away?"

I have several...

1) The McDonalds commercial when the baby is in the swing in front of the window, and he smiles when he swings up and frowns when he swings down and then the camera goes out the window and you realize that the baby is smiling because he sees the McDonald's arches.

2) The Sprite commercial about the cell phones when the guy is yelling across the street and he's like "hey rhonda (?), it's me anthony...wanna get together later, the doctor says it's not contagious" Ya'll, I laugh SOO hard everytime that commercial comes on.

i know there are more, I'll post later.

jazbri 03-20-2001 05:34 PM

I just remembered two more...

1) The baby that's dancing (again I forget the product)kind of computerized. He was sooo cute!

2) The insurance commercial where the dog is truly ROTFL his dog a$$ off because dude paid too much for his insurance. LUV that one!

PrettyPetite 03-21-2001 01:40 AM

My current favorite commercial is the one where the two guys are throwing sticks up in the tree, trying to get something to fall down, and then a VW falls out of the tree...when I first saw that, I died laughing!


I loved that "mother of pearl" commercial! (The one about the teeth!)

My favorite commercials of all time are the hallmark ones...remember the one that the little boy gave to his big brother, and then told him to act surprised later? (I think the brother was going off to college)...that got me misty eyed.

One last one...as a little kid, I used to like those Cheer commercials...the one where the guy would be quiet and put different stains on the clothes and then wash it out in a clear bowl filled with some water and Cheer??? I used to try to do the same...till my mother or my grandmother found out! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif (Can you say, SWITCH?!)

The song is by Mos Def. I forget the name of it. Let me ponder some more, I'll be back. But it is on his CD.
