Moose135 January 4, 2015 Share January 4, 2015 I just saw that for the first time today, Snowprince - that's cool that she's a "real person" doing it. What a nice story! Link to comment
Aquarius January 4, 2015 Share January 4, 2015 We must be a couple of weirdos because I like those Snot Ball guys. My favorite is the one where Mr. Snot wants to go to work with the guy for taco day. Make room for one more weirdo! I love the new Snot Ball ads. The Taco Tuesday one cracks me up when the guy says, "I took some medicine" and the Snot Ball says, "Oh, okay, see you in four hours then." And then at the end he says, "Your loss. I was gonna wear a sombrero." Cracks me up every time. I like that one too, especially when he knocks over the display of Mucinex, then backs away from it when the bottles scatter all over the floor. "He's not with me." Hee. 2 Link to comment
St. Claire January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 I admit, I am kind of hooked on the alternate Rob Lowe commercials (except for Excessively Hairy Rob Lowe. He's just wrong.) When Overly Paranoid Rob Lowe told that there are listening devices hidden in my cheese, I almost spurt coffee through my nose. Which would have been bad. And painful. 2 Link to comment
ShortyMac January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 New McDonald's ad. I think it's cute. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EShRCWOtNJ4 Link to comment
janie jones January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 It's cute but: The singing is annoying, and it's chock full of people I don't really want to see shilling for McDonald's. Link to comment
cpcathy January 8, 2015 Share January 8, 2015 Not a favorite commercial by any means, but now that the Trivago guy has gotten a makeover, he looks kinda hot. 2 Link to comment
peeayebee January 8, 2015 Share January 8, 2015 I like the commercial for Tylenol PM where people (all women for some reason) are shown not having gotten enough sleep. One pours coffee beans into her dog's bowl, another is trying to change the TV channels with the garage door opener, and I'm drawing a blank on the first one. Anyway, it's cute. Another thing that caught my eye is in the scene with the coffee beans, there's another woman sitting in the kitchen. She could be a friend, but my thought is that the women are partners or married. That's pretty cool. Link to comment
90PercentGravity January 9, 2015 Share January 9, 2015 Not necessarily a favorite commercial, but the grandpa with the pigeons in the esurance commercial is adorable. Link to comment
SoSueMe January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 It's cute but: The singing is annoying, and it's chock full of people I don't really want to see shilling for McDonald's. It is cute and it must have cost beaucoup bucks to get the rights to all those characters. (even Grumpy Cat). Not a favorite commercial by any means, but now that the Trivago guy has gotten a makeover, he looks kinda hot. I thought he was hot back when he was still scruffy. Link to comment
peeayebee January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 I love the animation in that McDonalds ad. 1 Link to comment
Betweenyouandme January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 Just saw a Progressive insurance commercial where they show a man's dream while he's really in a bunk bed below another man on the top bunk. There's a dummy involved. It is scary, but I like it. The point is that they're keeping their competitors awake with fear of their new products. I realize that's a very poor way of describing it!

Cobalt Stargazer January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 I've seen that one, and the dummy in it reminds me of the one in Magic, an old Anthony Hopkins movie. 3 Link to comment
Rick Kitchen January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 The song in the McDonald's song is called "Love is Endless" by a singer named Mozella. Link to comment

Prevailing Wind January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 I just saw this McDonald's ad during the Golden Globes and I think it's the McD's ad I've ever liked... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93KTpF9JDWo Link to comment

Bastet January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 McDonald's using its signs to preach at me now joins the long list of reasons I won't eat there. WTF? Link to comment
Prevailing Wind January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 I wouldn't eat there anyway, but I found the signs, like "Happy 95, Woody" amusing. Link to comment
margol29 January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 Have you noticed that this thread has a lot less pages thay the Annoying Commercials thread? Says something for the Ad Industry!! lol 3 Link to comment
SoSueMe January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 I like the new Progressive commercial with Flo and Jamie in the locker room. "Sprinkles are for winners" lol. That whole alternate reality has grown on me over the years. 2 Link to comment
Enjay January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 (edited) I've seen that one, and the dummy in it reminds me of the one in Magic, an old Anthony Hopkins movie.

It might have been the only place open after a hurricane/tornado. 3 Link to comment
Prevailing Wind January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 Right. Not all of the signs are co-opting tragedies - there's the baby announcement, Woody's 95th b'day... Those are the ones I like. 1 Link to comment
riley702 January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 I've seen that one, and the dummy in it reminds me of the one in Magic, an old Anthony Hopkins movie. That might very well be intentional on Geico's part. Link to comment
Aquarius January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 I saw a cute Petsmart commercial where a cat would not let a dog on its dog-sized bed, so the dog flopped on the cat bed. I laughed for a long time over that, because cats are the worst. *I own & love 2 cats, 1 dog....the poor dog is treated abysmally by the cats. ;-) I love that commercial too. We have a refrigerator magnet that sums it up. "Thousands of years ago, cats were worshiped as gods. They have never forgotten this." 5 Link to comment

Bastet January 16, 2015 Share January 16, 2015 I saw the commercial in which the cat blocks the dog from getting in her/his bed tonight, and cracked up. I have cats, but my best friend has both cats and dogs, and, yep - that's how it goes. But then they wind up back-to-back on the same bed. I haven't seen that particular magnet, Aquarius, but my mom has one that says ,"Dogs have owners. Cats have staff." This morning, in response to a cat howling at me that I was not dishing up his food fast enough, I said, "Stop hollering at me; I'm your mother, not your servant." I swear he laughed. 7 Link to comment
Rick Kitchen January 16, 2015 Share January 16, 2015 I love that Progressive "Sprinkles" ad is made to look like a 70s movie with skipping film and bad sound track. 2 Link to comment

janie jones January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 That dog is so ugly and so cute. Does he have two different colored eyes? Also, that's what my bathroom looked like after I gave my dog a bath the last time I went camping. But he's several times larger than that little guy. 1 Link to comment
GaT January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 I just discovered the Subaru dog tested/dog approved commercials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWqdRYUH9QQ Looks like there's a bunch of them besides these 2. 4 Link to comment
Pippin January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 Jaguar has a new bunch of commercials that I like, with a supervillian who is in his underground lab putting cars (Jaguars, of course) together while extolling their virtues.Has anyone else seen these?Very high tech, glossy looking ads. However, I wonder if these are tie-ins to an upcoming movie? Mortdecai? Or the Kingsmen? They just seem to have that "feel" to me. Link to comment
Prevailing Wind January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 I've seen the "barking at the mailman" one before and loved it; I just don't get how "Dog Approved" would sell cars. Hell, they're not even hanging their heads out the window...those dogs are NOT normal. Link to comment
kassa January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 (edited) Dog people love their Subarus -- that's why they're going with "dog approved." They're very dog friendly with their designs. They've catered to the offroaders and campers and skiiers with ads -- now it's our turn! There's also one where the dog family stops at a gas station. Dad goes into the little convenience store part. Then mom hops out, and the pups tumble out of the back seat. Dad comes out with a restroom key, and they all follow him. Cut to them all drinking out of the toilet.

It's part of a line of ads with British actors because men with British accents are evil, didn't you know that? Link to comment
Tabbyclaw January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 The current gentleman in the Jaguar commercials is Nicholas Hoult, who will never not be the world's cutest and most socially awkward zombie to me. 3 Link to comment
