Not only do you never see a McDonalds with only adults working in it, if they made this commercial today, they wouldn't even think about using an adult.

I don't know about that, but it wouldn't be all male, and they certainly wouldn't have the black guy only sweeping the floor.

I worked background on the Jason Statham commercial!  We filmed on New York Street at Paramount Studios. I was there for several scenes, but the only time I caught a quick glimpse of myself was in the restaurant. 

 

I find something new every time I see this funny-as-hell commercial.  The lady with the coif and the sweater set and pearls, the lady with a sports bra!  Plus. the music cracks me up too.

Organic Valley's new ad is hilarious, and takes the piss out of many other ads.

 

 

Is the lady on the bus trying to say "rooibos"? I thought it was roy-boss, not robos. I did like the line at the end about "seizing the cray".

She was saying "Crow pose."  I had to look it up too, because it wasn't very clear.

 

I really enjoyed that commercial, btw.  Clever, goes beyond the typical cheerful breakfast commercial, and quite funny.

Oh, that's what she's saying -- repeating the yoga woman's "crow pose," only in a WTF? manner?  Thank you; I couldn't understand it when I watched it.

 

Not that it would have pained me to watch it again had you not posted, mind you; that cracked me up.  I especially love the swearing montage, but the whole thing is fantastic.

Oh my god, that Organic Valley ad is hilarious. I'm sad to say I'm in the 21% who check work email before getting out of bed, at least most mornings. What is this dry shampoo they speak of? I need to check that out.

The Johnson & Johnson commercial with the nurse singing "The Name Game" with his patient as he gives her a shot. Gives me the warm-N-fuzzies

I was just coming here to say how much I love that commercial.  It hits me right in the feels every single time I see it.  I always wonder whether they are actors or actual nurse and patient.

Well I answered my own question - I went to YouTube to watch it again, because, you know, I just hadn't cried enough today, and several commenters who sound like they know whereof they speak say this is a real nurse and patient.  I hope she is alive and well!

Ah, that's good to hear. I recognized him almost immediately when those commercials started popping up, but I hadn't seen anything about him since From Justin to Kelly. (Yes, I went there. And no, I didn't actually watch it. :-) )

Thanks! Didn't realize that Broadway had managed to connect Justin Guarini to Tony Vincent (both in American Idiot) to Misha Collins (via charity even to for Random Acts). Interesting.

Please tell me he didn't do the part of Billie Joe in American Idiot.

I watched about 15 minutes of From Justin to Kelly. Reminded me of a Lifetime movie but not as good.

I also saw Justin Guarini do outstanding work in the Encores presentation of Paint Your Wagon (a recording was made, though not released yet) and as Bobby in Company in Bucks County a year ago. He has definitely achieved a respected position in the acting community.

No.  I wouldn't necessarily say that I love the Lil' Sweet commercials, but I do find them amusing.

They were meant to be a take off on Prince, weren't they? I wonder if they will be pulled now that Prince has died.

Just saw the Chase retirement service commercial with the couple power-walking their pig. Made me laugh. The camera work and the music (Shaggy's "Boombastic") make the pig look like he's the one in charge of that little parade.

 

 

One of my high school classmates had a pet pig exactly like the one in the ad. She brought it to school once or twice.

Can't find it on ispot, and I don't remember what it's for, but the theme is "Life after internet" - 4 minutes without Internet and the family is lost. "Right now something is happening somewhere around the world and we don't know about it!"

I saw this one a bit ago and thought it was cute.
 

I'm not knocking the commercial itself, but the infographic at 0:10 to 0:14... the guy using the really long leash... show him messing with a phone in his other hand, and that's how most people walk their dogs these days.

Thank you for the song name! I still love this commercial so much. It's a baby bacon!

I hope their retirement includes food when it grows up!

I still love the Lil Sweet commercials.  At least they took a break for a while instead of bombarding the public with them like so many others.  I wish more companies would space them out like that (cough, Progressive, cough, cough)

There's a new McDonald's ad with a father and daughter that cracks me up.  It could easily be another "These kids today" kind of ads, but the father just commits to the memes so hard, it's hilarious.  You also don't get that typical bratty teen vibe from his daughter, more like bemused at her father's antics.  Can't find it on youtube yet.

I think it is take off on Steven Tyler what with the hair and the scarves and the scarf in the hair.

Oh, Maizie, I can't get ENOUGH of that fat little guy!  He is SO adorable!

I KNOW!  Isn't he just the cutest little thing?!?  That's a really neat commercial - glad you liked it, Brattinella
