The funniest commercial that I have seen so far was the Red Bull commercial. An animated man is walking down the street, and a bird flies by and poops on him, and laughs. The man takes out his handkerchief and wipes it off. Then he pulls out a Red Bull, drinks it, and then sprouts wings. The man the flies up in the air and get's over the bird, upzips his pants (implying that the man was going to urine on the bird), and the birds screams. This was so funny.

Another one I saw was a European commercial.

This guy went into a department store to try on some slacks. He notices this two piece red satin bra and panty set hanging in the dressing room over the wall. He decides to try it on. He is posing in the the two piece. Then all of a sudden, the fire alarm goes off, and he doesn't know which way to go. So everyone is evacuating the building. Of course this was televised (on the commercial). Then he come running down the fire escape in his two piece in front of every body. The commercial show his wife and kids watching the scene at home on TV. You had to see it.

I like that Targert commercial about the wake up calls for the Day after Thanksgiving sale. There is like an office and at each desk is someone giving the person a wakeup call. The funny thing is, you got folks like Darth Vader, Ice T, a little girl singing, a rooster, etc waking the folx up!

I like the Diet Coke commercial with Adrien Brody. It's not a commercial that's full of action or anything, but the music makes my head bop! :D

I really like the new Geico commercial where it makes it seem like this married couple has to be on a new reality show called "Tiny House" where the house is like 5ft!!!

I like that commercial too!!! But my favorite commercials of all time are the Coke commercials with the polar bears.

My favorite commerical by far is the Tide commercial with the little boy laying on his Daddy (who might I add is very easy on the eye). And the song, "Take Me Home" is playing. I always stop what I'm doing and run to the TV when I hear that music coming on. Such a positive message. I keep saying I'm going to go buy some Tide, just because I like the commercial.

One of my favorites was a Super Bowl commercial from a few years back (during the dot-com boom). I think it was for Etrade. A man is being rushed into the ER. He's lying on his stomach, and little pieces of paper are flying out of his butt. The conversation among the hospital staff is along the lines of: "What's wrong with him?" "He's got money coming out the wazoo!" "Does he have insurance?" "Who cares! He's got money coming out the wazoo!"

I loved the beer commercials with Alex the dog. There was one where his owner was playing poker with his buddies, and there is a sequence of delivery men with various items that the men hadn't ordered... first there's a pizza, then a six-pack of beer, and lastly a female poodle with a big pink bow! There was another one where you hear, from the kitchen, the sounds of a beer being opened and poured out and a dog slurping... his owner yells, "Alex, that better be water you're drinking!"

I LOVE the Geico commerical where the geico is doing the robot and the executive is doing the "stiff" robot.

I love that commerical so much that if I don't see it for a few days, I will go to the Geico website and play the commerical.

:D

I have a new favorite.

MC Hammer's Nationwide commercial. They show him dancing in front of the mansion with his crew like they are in a video. Then the screen flashes "15 minutes later" and they show him sitting on the ground and the tow truck repossessing his car and a "foreclosed" sign in front of his house. The voiceover says "Life comes at you fast...be prepared" or something like that.

I hollered!!!! :D

lostnfound117 02-07-2005 08:39 AM

I like the NFL commercial where all of the pro football players are singing "Tomorrow" from Annie! It's hilarious!!

Pearls4Life 07-09-2005 01:03 AM

I second it! That baby was zipping through the house in that walker. Those itty bitty feet were moving quicker than the wheels on the walker.

I also like the Capitol One "No" commercial. They have a few of them but that man kills me with his "NO deal!"

StarFish106 07-12-2005 08:20 AM

i know nobody remembers these..
 
My first all time fave commercial is from Dunkin Doughnuts where the 'time to make the doughnuts' man is dressed as a woman asking the 2 supermarket bakers about their doughnuts. Neither of the guys can believe what they are seeing (a man dressed as a woman holding his finger over his bushy mustache). He's asking about the freshness of their doughnuts. The one guy on the side drops the loaf of bread he is holding because he is staring so hard. I loved that commercial


My other one was for Pizza Hut and they were singing "on the first day after Thanksgiving my true love gave to me _____ that she made with leftover turkey". The funny part is the christmas tree in the background each day looses more needles and decorations while the guy sitting at the table has had at least 5 days worth of leftovers and is about to choke.


Did i just age myself with these? Oh well...

TV Commercials
 
I really like the one that is out now where there is a young guy just out of college. He is going for his first interview. He wakes up with some (i think starbucks coffee). Then the anthem comes on


(The hey song: (follow me here)

da da dummmm. da dummmm da dummm. da da dummmmm
da dummmm da dummmm. da da da da da dadada Hey! (whisper) .. {all while there is this group of his friends and family following him down the street, in the elevator, outside the interview office, still singing the song pumping him up getting him ready for the interview)


It sounds wierd but it is funny. (cmon i know somebody has seen this other than me. )

futurestar1 07-12-2005 09:47 AM

I love the commercial where the guy is in for an interview and he keeps kissing up and calling the man Mr. Dumb Ass, and the man finally corrects him and says his name is Mr. Dumass. COM A DEE!

hipshimmy 07-20-2005 06:27 PM

My favorite old commercial was from Little Ceasars pizza. People were standing at the bus stop talking about how impossible it was to offer a pizza with 10 toppings for only 10 bucks. An old man with a dog says "Anything is possible. I even taught my dog to say I love you". The dog literally barking out something that sounded like "Ah ruv woo" 2x while the people watch in awe. I wish they would show it again.
I like one by office depot that I haven't seen for a few years. During the back to school season you see a father with two children shopping at office depot. He is dancing around the store to a song "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" (the X-mas song). The children look so sad and the father is kicking his leg up and riding on the shopping cart in front of his kids. It is hilarious to me.
More recently the t-mobile commercials are getting my attention. The man who drops his phone in the gorilla area of the zoo, the guy with the huge bug bite on his face, and the 2 guys trapped in the freezer. I wonder what else they will come up with for the phone co.

prettyNprissy 07-20-2005 10:34 PM

My favorite commercial of all time is the Coca-Cola commercial circa 1979 or 1980 featuring Mean Joe Green and the little boy. I just loved it when Joe said "Hey kid....catch" and threw his jersey to the little boy and the boy replied "Thanks Mean Joe..." that is definitely a classic!

pretty edAKAted 07-21-2005 08:45 PM

I just saw one today:

This commercial was advertising eyeglasses (some new company).

Okay, this lady walked in the store and she was browsing, she asked the worker, why are your prices of these same glasses so much higher than (the new company). The man stopped moving and pretended he was a manican. the customer said, "i know you are not a manican" and the man just stood there still, then the lady walked out and rolled her eyes. :rolleyes:

Yeah I always liked that one as well...THEY'RE GOING BACK!!! and the kids looks mad and pissed at the same time and dad is having a ball!

unspokenone25 07-22-2005 10:21 AM

I think it is Office Max commercial with the "Rubberband Man". I liked that song and the black dude that was moving and shaking in the commercial.

Everytime I see that commercial I wanna go to Starbucks

skywalker20_99 07-22-2005 02:00 PM

I absolutely LOVE the Fruit of the Loom Coomercials. Especially the new music video commercial. If they weren't being so silly, it would actually be a really nice song. LOL.

StarFish106 07-26-2005 12:57 PM

what about....
 
Has anyone seen the commercial where the man is at home sitting at the table attempting to do surgery to himself while he is on the phone with his doctor? He is attempting to cut himself opem with a clam knife and asks his doc "shouldn't you be doing this?" and the doc says "Nah you'll be fine!"


That is my newest simple commercial for now.

unfaltering 07-29-2005 08:41 PM

I like that fed-ex commercial where they guy 1 says:

Guy 1: We shouldn't use fed-ex, they're too expensive. (everyone in the office starts looking around like "no he didn't")

Guy 2 says: You what, I'm tired of this. You can't ever get anything right. It's not the leaning tower of PIZZA it's the leaning tower of PISA. We don't get FRENCH benefits, we get Fringe benefits and fed-ex isn't expensive.

Guy 1: We don't get French benefits!!!

That cracks me up everytime. I also like the one credit card commercial where they have the people talking but it's not really them talking. They do a really good job. I also like those Geico commercials.

christiangirl 07-30-2005 03:56 PM

It was a commercial for Squirt (the soda). It came out while I was in 7th grade and Squirt was still REALLY popular. We couldn't stop singing the song for a month ("everybody's a little wild, everybody's a little child, everybody's a little squirt so squirtin' squirt your thirst...)

1flypoodle 08-01-2005 12:42 PM

I don't know why I get a kick out of this one
 
My favorite right now is the pepsi commercial where the guy comes into the store to buy a chicken and the chickens see his pepsi and start wrestling and slapping each other around. One of the chickens finally wins and other gets knocked onto the floor and the guy is like "I'll take that one" and the Asian guy is like "Good choice" choosing the one still left in the case. Cracks me up everytime.

I really enjoy the new Citi Bank credit card identify theft commericail where the guy says Oochie coochie....it cracks me up every time.

honeychile 08-06-2005 12:04 PM

Lately, I've been loving the one where the guy is smiling & happy, and saying this is my house, my pool, my luxury car, my sauna, my spa, my this, my that and with the same tone of voice and same look on his face, he says, "How do I do this? Because I'm in debt up to my eyebrows!" It just strikes a funny nerve with me!

and Kudos on the Mean Joe Green ad - I think that should be in the Advertisement Hall of Fame, if there is one!

Neosoulchild 08-06-2005 02:01 PM

I like the Healthy Choice commerical for their ice cream. With the little girl lying to her mother about her day to get more ice cream. It's cute.

9dstpm 08-08-2005 07:33 AM

Of course I love the Allstate commercials. Hee hee.

Really though, I love those Office Depot back to school commercials with that guy with the crazy hair and clothes, going around giving out school supplies to the kids while they play "rubberband man" in the background. Even the animated one they did at Christmas was funny!! I just saw a new Office Depot one for back to school a minute ago!!

My (male) roommate and I saw this and I think we've had too many psych/comm/advertising classes. We both thought "that little girl has now been introduced to a life of emotional eating", and that it sends a mixed message.

My favorite commercials are on The-N. Specifically the Degrassi ones.
"You're my best friend...sorry I put you in a wheelchair"
"Thinking of you...thinking of him"
"If you think he liked you, just wait until he meets your brother"

They are so ridiculous I can't help but laugh.

I like all their identity theft commercials.

I like the KFC commercial where the mom brings out the cake and they think they forgot her birthday and start singing. I think that is so funny.

I cannot stand the Lee Iacocca commercials.

AKA2D '91 10-05-2005 05:45 PM

I LOVE the MasterCard commercial with some of the notables of Products eating dinner (to name a few)
Pillsbury Doughboy
Morton Salt Girl
Charlie the Tuna
Count Chocula
Vlasik (sp) pickle stork
Godon's Fisherman
Jolly Green Giant

It just takes me back to my childhood. :D

Neosoulchild 10-05-2005 07:36 PM

I like that commercial where the two guys are trying to paint the top of the house so they tie a rope to each other. The smaller one jumps down to paint the top and they both fall. I hope y'all can understand what I'm trying to say. I think it's a commerical for insurance or financial advice or something like that. I think it's funny.

9dstpm 10-05-2005 08:32 PM

I like the cheeze its commercial where the guy is learning Spanish with his radio and he's repeating the phrases after the guy on the tape says it and then all of a sudden the tape is asking the guy for his cheeze its and when the guy won't give it to him, the radio lunges forward and the guy falls out of his chair, spilling the cheeze its. :p
