Fave TV commercials...

I got two, just popped into my head...

First is the Audi (I think) where the guy parks the car in the lot...then tackles the shopping cart headed for his car and follows with a pathetic "I'm ok"

Second, this was a few years back, was the little scene where there are two kids and " Boy: Dorothy? Will you marry me? ' Girl: Where's my ring? Boy : Whips out a lifesaver. Girl "A lifesaver?" Boy: It's a beginning, don't worry, we'll live with my mother."

I thought that was cute as F*$k!

My favorites ones are:
The M&M's commercials: The one where their at the Pool side and a Chocolate bar walks up to the girl on the pool side and the chocolate bar has the voice of Phil Hartman and he says hey baby the names chocolate bar, but you can call me choco- la- lateee. The he melts cause of the sun and the N&M's come walking around standing on the chocolate puddle and go ewww, can we get a mop here.

My next favorite one is for I think Volkswagen and anyway the guy gets out of the car to go to the super market and then u see a shopping cart coming towards the car, and the guiy spins back around takling the shopping cart so it doesnt hit the car , but he's sprawled out on the ground and he goes, " I'm ok", lol

But the jeans are cool.

This one always makes me laugh..

It's for A&W Rootbeer, and this guy is getting interviewed for a new job by a guy named Mr. Dumass. The guy keeps saying, "Mr. Dumbass, I will be an assett to this company, because, Mr. Dumbass..." and the boss cuts him off and says, "It's 'Doo-moss." and the guys' eyes pop wide open. The next cut is the boss guy shaking his head and saying, "What a dumbass!" I've only seen that one on MTV.
My other favorite is for Finish Line I think, where the guy is jogging and the Finish Line worker comes running up next to him with a boombox playing that song from Rocky, and the jogger pushes the guy and he falls flat on his face. I laugh so hard at that one, every time!

My favorite commercial is the one for the DVD player and DVD combo.

It's a pregnant woman whose husband is in the bathtub with a broken leg. He screams from the tub "What do you want to do tonight?" and she screams "I was a DANCE, and get a pizza and a DVD."

Under his breath he says "We don't have a DVD."

Then you see the pregnant woman bring in the DVD player and as the guy hobbles on crutches he says, "Nice honney."

Then you see them on the couch eating icecream watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Call me weird but that commercial makes me SMILE everytime I see it. They are so happily married (which I love to see) and I think it's brilliant on so many levels.

Even a pregnant woman can carry and put together this DVD system. (It's that easy) and the woman makes a financial decision without the consent of her husband (thank God for that!) and i just love that they seem to be so happily married. That is my favorite part.

I'm in advertising -- can you tell!

I like the Geico commercial where the squirrel runs across the street and causes a accident, then two squirrel high five each other after the accident.

I also like the Mr. Yoshida commercial when he is sitting on top of the veggies dancing around with a big smile ,then the grocery store worker squirts him with water.

I love the new Truth commercial, the one that is a musical about looking at the happy side of tobacco companies..."Let's just focus on the positive; they aren't marketing to kids, they're reaching out to America's youth!" I've done some anti-smoking stuff, and I think their commercials get the message across really well.

Oh, I love commercials!
I like the Volkswagon one where the guy is driving to the church to stop the girl from marrying someone else and he runs in JUST as the priest says "Forever hold your peace" and the line is "fasten your seatbelts". That one gives me goosebumps

I am also a sap and I love all the Hallmark one and the Kodak ones. I swear, they put them on every morning just as I put on my mascara and its running down my face in about 2 seconds!

The all time, absolute best commercial ever, in the history of commercials, is the one for EDS that played during the Super Bowl, where guys are herding cats. I have never seen such an amazing commercial.
