What's your favorite commercial, past and present?

Ideal08 · #1 03-19-2001, 11:28 AM

I thought that this would be a good topic. I love commercials, they are my absolute favorite part of TV!!!!

My favorite commercial growing up was the Coca-Cola "I'd like to teach the world to sing...." I still look forward to that every Christmas.

I also like the Fig Newton commercial (no one remembers this) with the chimps: "I'm sorry we have no bananas, we have no bananas today..."

Presently, I am loving the beer commercials. Budweiser and MGD commercials are so funny to me. What are yoooouuuu doing? That mess is hilarious!!! The black dudes at the end make the commercial.

I also like the Michael Jordan commercials. Those are cool.

Ok, one more. I don't know what the commercial is for, maybe Nike? But they have all these players dribbling the ball to different beats. That commercial is tight!

Ok, one more, for real, just one more.

The PowerAde commercials are good. The one with The Cage, that was hard. And the one where they are on the school bus, and the players are getting hype for the game, pounding on the seats. That one is tight too.

See, I told y'all. I'm done now!

Yes, Ideal08.....I LOVE the Nike commercial with the basketball players. I get this big smile on my face everytime I see it. Some of the beats are done by the cast of STOMP, the people who make music with ANYTHING!

My favorite commercial growing up had to be a tie between the Coca-Cola " I'd like to teach the world" and no doubt, the McDonald's commercial where the girls were double dutching singing " Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, Quarter Pounder......"

I also like the beer commercial where the heavyset man, with the sagging pants did the twist with the refrigerator door open to open the beer. Too funny.

I am sure I could think of more...

I like the ol' school Kool-Aid commercial-the song went something like this:
"I make Kool-Aid for my family...I make pitcher after pitcher..." ROTF because I don't remember the rest :d

The Nike commercial with the cute

guys dribbling the basketballs is also a favorite of mine.

The one about the guy climbing the hill and he has to compose himself before biting into the abc brand nutrition bar is hilarious! I think that is either for Gatorade of Powerade.

The commercial that I HATE is the Shake and Bake one-the little girl with the missing teeth in the front of her mouth says "It's Shake and Bake and I helped"...I can't stand that one.

My all time favorite is the Colgate commercial when the preschool teacher is going over colors with her kids. Expecting the answer white, she asks the kids what color are her teeth. They reply:
"Beige"
"Off white"
"Mother of Pearl"

I love that!

I just LOVE the ones with the basketball players lookin' too FINE!!!!, the BUD commercials and my new favorite is by Coca-Cola. It's night-time and everyone's in the woods partying, then the fat guy is dancing, to the music with his pants sagging then runs off into the night. My all time favorive from the past is WHERE'S THE BEEF!!!!!!!

The Coke commercial with the little boy and Mean Joe Green will always be my favorite.

The commercials that I cannot tolerate are the ones for Progresso soup that imply that just because you still eat Campbells soup,you aren't an adult.How patronizing can you be.I will never buy a can of Progresso soup EVER!

Oh Lord. I forgot about that one! *lol*

I like the recent Sprite adds where they have regular kids dropping their lyrics for the camera.

I also liked all the Bud Ice penguin stints. You know, the one that was always singing "doo bee doo bee do"! I like the one where are the natives of this island are chanting "doo bee doo bee do, doo bee doo bee do!" over and over while the bird is chillin on the throne drinking. The one where the penguin is calling a family from their own house and singing into the phone is funny too. It cracks me up when the police call back and say "The calls are coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE! GET OUT! GET OUT NOW!"

That commercial cracks me up too. I also like the commercial with the guy who bought a Jetta. He's at the supermarket and a shopping cart is coming towards the car. He rushes and runs and pushes the cart away like he is some linebacker on a football team. After all this you hear this weak voice saying, "I'm all right". Because of course the cart took him out.

I like that commercial too.

I also like the car commercial with the husband who asks his wife who's car that is in the driveway and she says it's his car. Then he says, "it is, isn't it?" There's another one with him at a wedding and he says, "there's a silver (car name) with its lights on. It looks new." So everyone rushes outside and then one guy says, "Isn't this your car?" And of cousre the reply is, "It is, isn't it?"

I also like the Hallmark commercial with the husband and wife. They are sitting accross from eachother at a table and she gives him a romantic Hallmark card. After he reads it, they give eachother that "look" while playing footsie and staring intently at eachother as "Just the Two of Us" is playing in the background. All of a sudden, peas are thrown in the man's face. When the camera pulls back, the couple is at the dinner table with their restless, crying, whiney kids. It is too funny! "Romance: 99 cents at Hallmark." Boy, can I relate!

I'm a go way back...

"Ancient chinese secret huh?" I forget what brand it was for-someone enlighten me. I had to be about 4 or 5.

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!

Can I just vent to someone how much I hate ALL of the Mentos commercials? They are too stupid.

I LOVE that Nike commercial also (the cuties that got game).

"Where's the Beef" Wendy's comm. will always be a favorite.

I'll have to think of more...
