I like the GAP commercials with the little boys and girls singing "Girl(Boy), you really got me going. You got me so I don't know what I'm doing."

I love the little girls! Especially the "lead" singer with her tambourine and her dancing. I also like that the girls' version is faster than the boys.

That old Oscar Meyer commerical... My bologna has a first name. Now you know thats how all of us learned to spell B-O-L-O-G-N-A!

How about the for Shoprite with those dancing ladies singing...Now shoprite has the can can , selling lots of brands of everything thing in cans cans.

The california raisins commerical ... "I heard it through the grapevine, how much longer would you be mine."

I agree those guys kill me in the BUD commercial "What are Youuuuuuuu doin?"

How about the Wendy's "Where's the BEEF?" That old lady was too too funny.

Then there's the new one for Taco bell
"we will, we will ..... stop doing that!

These are some of my recent favorites:

The 7-UP commercial where the dude is doing a taste test and people are drinking the disgusting stuff.

The new Doritoes commercial where the girl gets knocked in the head with the Dorito on the tennis court!

HILARIOUS!!!

The Southwest Airlines commercial where the sista is visiting her "man". She is in the bathroom. She is in front of the medicine cabinet/mirror. So, she opens the cabinet and peeks to see what ole boy has inside. She pulls out some kind of ointment and places it back...just as she does so, ALL THE SHELVES FALL causing a mess! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif The only thing sista could do is stand there and go eek! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Then the commercial breaks showing a SW airline plane and in the background it says..."Wouldn't you like to get away?"

So don't put your nose somewhere it doesn't belong...you never know, there could be a boobie trap! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Ok...can I go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY Back??!! Does anybody remember the POSNER commercial that use to come on during Soul Train...I'm talkin' about when Don Cornelius was still hosting??...Anyways, Natalie Cole use to sing the POSNER commercial jingle...she'd say "POOOOSSS-NER! Positively Beautiful"...I always felt like she should've finished it off by saying "POOOOSSS-NER! Positively Beautiful..to MEEEEE!!" (LOL)..Pardon me, I may be very alone in remembering this commercial...but, not nah one a y'all betta ask me how old I am!

On a slightly different note...remember those School House Rock episodes? I have a few on tape...My favorites were "Suffering until Suffrage" & my FOREVER FAV-O-RITE was the one for the VERB...."that's what's happenin'"....when I play that tape of the VERB (which I do from time to time), I often times tear up...remember the good times back in the day!

I think I'll go play it right now...let me grab some kleenex! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

You know my brother bought that stuff and I ran for my life cuz I thought it was going to tick and explode. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Lawd...those were the days.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! ROFLMAO!!!!
Ya'll are TOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!

Hey, I am not sure if any of you remember this one, but I only got to see it a couple of times.

There is this girl and a guy going out on a date. The guy opens the door for the girl, while he goes around to his side. As he is going to his side of the car, the girl quickly lets out a fart by lifting up her leg!!!! When the guy enters the car, he introduces her to TWO OTHER people in the back seat who are his friends (I guess they were all going on a double-date!!!!!!) The girl looks back and just has this FACE of EMBARASSMENT!!!! I almost died when I saw this one!!!!

I think it's for some BEEPER commercial.

LOL! Hey ya'll remember, "GOT MILK"?
My favorite is the guy eating Peanut Butter Sandwich and has no milk and wants to answer the question on the radio..."ADDUM BURRR, ADUM BURR"...but the radio guy can't understand him !!!! TOO FUNNY!!!

OF COURSE, What r u doing? Watching the game, having a bud...the old ladies!!! LOL!

80s Commercial: Hershey! American chocolate bar...Hershey! I love that chocolate bar!

naturalbeauty08 04-18-2001 02:00 PM

No one remembers this commercial but it is MAD funny. It was a Sprite commercial. It was making a parody of kool-aid and Sunny D where the family is sitting around the kitchen table with a jug of some juice on the table when suddenly the little sun jumps off of the juice label. Now you know in most commercials they have the familly chatting with the little creature (ie, Mrs Butterworth). But this one was funny because the family started screaming and running... the dog even ran. The funniest part was when the mom fell just like in horror movies... and the kids look back and scream, "MOM!!" She says something to the effect of... "RUN!!!" to the kids.
It didn't get much airplay but that had to be the most funniest (bad grammar... i know) commercial!!!

Have you seen the Raisin Bran (?) commercial with the guy getting milk from the cow because the milk is finished? His friends are watching him from the window and the girl turns to the other guy who's eating Raisin Bran and says, "shouldn't we tell him that's a boy cow?" And the guy is like, "he'll figure it out" as he continues to eat his cereal. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

I got a new car last month...and I couldn't help but stealing from that commercial (I think it's a kia commercial). I went inside my job and I am like..."Ya'll, there is a car out there, it's silver and it's so clean and shiny...it looks brand new...I wonder who's car it it?" So they say..."Isn't that YOUR car?" and I smile a HUGE smile.."It IS isn't it http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif)

I can't believe you haven't heard the Chupa-Chups commercial!! Lemme tell yall about Chupa-Chups (choopa-choops). It's a lollipop that they had in Spain while I was there! Anyway, the commercials are HILARIOUS!! They are jingles, the whole thing is just someone singing, and they are so sarcastic! I love them!!

Anywho..... on to my new favorite commercial:

The Sprite commercial with the family taking a road trip, and the parents are OBNOXIOUSLY singing the Polly Doodle song. Oh, it's awful. Then they click to the back and the little boy is looking straight MISERABLE. Then it stops and it says on the screen: Wish you had a CD player? or something like that. OH, it was hilarious!! Loved it!

I love this commercial too! I'm sitting here LMAO as I think about that commercial. My all time favorite is the Parkay commercials.

CutiePie2000 10-07-2001 12:45 AM

Ancient Chinese Secret...I think I have the answer!
 
I am pretty sure that it was for Tide Laundry Detergent (cuz my Mom used Tide)....so that commercial reasonated in my brain! It was a Chinese Laundry place and run by an Asian guy...

The customers come in to get their clothes and they say to the proprietor: "wow..our clothes are so clean- how did you do it?" (and they guy would BS his customers and say "Ancient Chinese Secret")

Then he gets BUSTED and it comes out that the "Ancient Chinese Secret" was that he was really using Tide to get his customers' clothes clean...

7up race car commercial-that guy is just crazy. But if you think about it he does have a point who can see the advertisement when you are going 200+ mph's.

One funny commercial is the one for Athelete's Foot (I think), where the dude is running, and a guy with a radio playing the rocky theme song comes running up beside him, and the guy that's running, pushes the guy with the radio into the bushes. Then the narrator says "Maybe we love our atheletes a little too much":D I am laughin just thinkin about it!!

gentleness08 10-09-2001 10:09 AM

I like the Mastercard commericials. Like the one that gives the price of baseball game tickets, and then the cost of the food at the baseball game, etc. and then at the end it says "crossing another stadium off you list, priceless". I love those commericals.

I like all the Volkswagon commercials. They really make me want one of those cars. I like the one where a guy is driving some type of volkswagon car (probably a Jetta), and he is trying to make it to a wedding to interrupt it. I like the one where there is guy sitting in the car and it looks like he is talking to himself or something (you can't hear the sound). Then it turns out he is waiting for someone. His friend gets in the car and you hear that song "Mr. Roboto" and they both are singing it. It is so funny.

Ok this is the last one for now. I really like that Nike commerical where the people are playing Tag. It is so funny to me.

Tru2Life 10-09-2001 10:59 PM

I love this topic! I'm wiping tears from my eyes from laughing so hard. A few of us are on the same wavelength. Here's my current favorite:

It's another GEICO commercial. This is the one where he mother is going to school to pick up her daughter, only she doesn't have a car. She's running in the middle of traffic, observing all traffic rules as if she's driving. Then she 'pulls' up to the school and blows her 'air horn'. She even has a 'bumper' sticker on her butt saying something to the effect that "My daughter is an honor roll student at xxx Elementary School." When another student asks the girl if that's her mother, the poor embarrassed child ducks her head and says 'no'. I think it's hilarious!

I love that commercial. The other colors that the kids came up with in the original were stucco and ecru. :D I also love the first Geico commercial with the gecko. He said, "I'm a gecko, not to be confused with Geico, which could save you hundreds on car insurance. So stop calling me!" I also like the Budweiser commercials with the black guys saying, "Whhaaasssssuuuuuupppppp!!!!!!!" :D and the frogs saying, "Bud-weis-er." :D

I still love that Life Cereal commercial with Mikey. When I was a little girl, I was devastated when I heard the rumor that he died from Pop Rocks and soda.:eek:

dst3800 10-16-2001 03:26 AM

My favorite commercial right now has to be the geiko one w/ the lady going to pick her daughter up from school, but she has no car!! :eek: She stops at the stop sign, has a bumper sticker on her butt, and she even has one of those air horns people use at the game. When her daughter comes out of the school, she stands there and blow her horn and yells to get her daughter's attention. Walking with a friend, the daughter denies knowing her when asked if that is her Mom. I roll all over the floor every time i see it! I don't blame the little girl, I would have igged her too! :D

I love this one!

I also like two of the Snickers commercials during football season.
The first one is when the football player was tackled so they put him on the bench. He thought he was batman so everytime they asked him a question he replied "I'm Batman." When the coach told him to go to the locker room he got up and said "To the batcave!"

The other is when one of the football players were tackled he stayed on the ground and all of the doctors and the coached went on the field to see if he was okay. The crowd was booing because he made a bad play or something. When they asked him where was he hurt and he replied "When people boo, it hurts my feelings." :D

Commercial Classics!!!
 
Maybe it's just me, but I LOVE commercials, I could sit and watch a show full of good commercials.

Name your favorite

Right now, my favorite commercial is the new Sprint commercial.

The wife tells the husband to bring home a movie, and make it old...he hears bring home a MONKEY WITH A COLD!!! :D

They have the nerve to have the monkey sitting up there in a robe with a thermometer in his mouth, and did you see the cough medicine and tissues on the table? That was funny as hell!

Sexy Mocha 11-04-2002 11:59 AM

I love that commercial! The monkey is sooooo cute!
I am also feeling the new Ikea commercials. Especially the one where the woman throws her old lamp out (because she has purchased a new one). She puts the lamp outside with the rest of the garbage in the pouring rain.
Then the camera shows her putting the new lamp in its place. It seems like the old lamp is sadly "looking" through the window where it used to "live".

Then this dude comes out of nowhere and says in a German accent "You feel sorry for the little lamp don't you?....That's because you are crazy. It has no feelings."

It's hilarious because you actually find yourself feeling sorry for the lamp.

There hasn't been a Geico commericial I haven't liked. The latest one with the gecko and brunette and "love-song" music playing in the background cracks me up.

Also, the Progressive Insurance one with the girl who had a piercing, and her mom is upset because the daughter didn't shop around for the best price for the piercing.


EDIT: I went back, NaturalBeauty mentioned this sprite commercial already, but it is my favorite.

All-time favorite: The Sprite commercial from at least 5 yrs ago where the kids are drinking some orange drink, and there is a sun on the bottle. The sun pops out, says hello. The kids scream and run away, and the sun chases them screaming "But I've got nutrients!" Everyone at school talked about that commercial the next day. http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/.../lachen013.gif

I used to ROFL everytime that commercial would come on. Wasn't Ecru one of the other colors mentioned? Anyway, LOL.

I also loved the Michael Jordan commercial with "Umi" by Mos Def - I think it was mostly b/c of the song. :)

Also on my list:
Wendy's "Where's the Beef"
Coca-Cola - the one they show for Xmas - so cool!
The one where the little kid is singing "You are My Sunshine" - I forgot what product was being advertised. Dang! :(

Honeykiss1974 11-04-2002 04:47 PM

My fav commercial from childhood:

The Tootsie Roll :cool:
"The world looks mighty good to me,"
" 'cause Tootsie Rolls are all I see"
"Whatever it is I think, I see....becomes a Tootsie Roll to me"
"Tootsie Rolls are full of chocolaty chew"
"Tootsie Roll I think I'm in love with you"
"Whatever it is I think, I see....becomes a Tootsie Roll to me"


:D

My fav commercial now:

-Those Mitsubishi commercials because I LOVE the music!
-That one Sierra Mist commercial when its a hot a$$ summer day and that dog is one the bed STRAIGHT CHILLIN'!!!

NOWorNEVER 11-04-2002 04:56 PM

Nike and Coke
 
My favorite commercials have been the latest Nike commercials. Where there aren't really words...just a bunch of different athletic events with this piano music in the background that starts and ends with a little boy running. It's simple but brings out my competitive side. I also like the Nike commercial where they are showing different athletes getting warmed up to the sounds of symphony musicians getting warmed up on their instruments.

I also LOVE the coke commercials (even though I'm not crazy about coke). The one where they start out, "For the short, for the tall, for the big, for the small.....for the sunny days, for the starry nights....for everyone!" I think it's so creative!

AKA2D '91 11-05-2002 06:49 PM

1. Geico Mom-running down the street to pick her daughter up from school.

2.Sears- brotha goes to the 'frig to drink out of the milk carton. Wifey is sipping on coffee. Hubby drinks the milk from the carton and INSTANTLY spits it out (it's sour). Wifey calmly without stopping what she is doing says, "The refrigerator is broken". (Something like that!)
