Lola16 January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 Blast from the past: AOL commercial from 1995. All you need is a computer and a regular phone line... Saved ya a trip to the library! Someone has made a parody of the ad but with The Facebook circa 1995: 1 Link to comment

Amethyst January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 I am really liking the new Turbo Tax commercials, especially this one with a ruined wedding: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ea1uao2V2WQ I love the Turbo Tax commercials, too. The bride just bolting out while muttering "I can't!" just cracks me up. This one is charming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=961IE1TO1lQ 3 Link to comment
BubblingKettle January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 Oh how funny that I came to this page, and I'm posting a TurboTax commercial, too. TurboTax is on a roll, I guess! Well, if you don't think about how her purse must smell, this commercial is funny.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tITDkB6kHuo 2 Link to comment

riley702 January 28, 2015 Share January 28, 2015 (edited) It's already been posted as an annoying commercial, but I love Flo, so I laughed at the new Progressive ad showing Flo being irritating throughout the ages, still dressed all in white. "I didn't turn your daughter into a rooster - she just looks like that!" (pause) "Burn the witch!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSOcMXQZ5Go Edited January 28, 2015 by riley702 4 Link to comment
Haleth January 28, 2015 Share January 28, 2015 I think the new Flo commercial is so funny too, especially the rooster daughter. Between this one (maybe a series?) and the family commercials at Christmas, Stephanie whats-her-name is getting to show her comedic talents. 3 Link to comment
Bastet January 28, 2015 Share January 28, 2015 I like her playing all the roles in the family commercials, especially the obnoxious daughter; I don't like the game night one except for her "Yay, game night is so much fun" at the end. This new one doesn't really do it for me, but I do like the way she says "Uh oh" after the first "Kill her!" 2 Link to comment

xaxat January 28, 2015 Share January 28, 2015 (edited) Ah, that explains a lot. I wrote over in "Annoying" that I was surprised GoDaddy pulled their ad because the CEO is a DNGAF kind of guy. But after seeing this, I think they pulled it because they knew the Bud ad was going to kick their ass. Edited January 29, 2015 by xaxat 2 Link to comment
Katmai January 28, 2015 Share January 28, 2015 State Farm's "Never" commercial is the hands-down fav in our house. Hubby and I used to say those same Nevers when we were young, and now our sons are saying them. Hope our boys follow the commercial's time line like we did. 2 Link to comment

riley702 January 29, 2015 Share January 29, 2015 I rather like this ad by Indeed.com, called "How Animation Works". Love the look on the rock "monster's" face when he realizes the people he's helping have turned on him. And then I really laughed. 4 Link to comment

Hubby and I used to say those same Nevers when we were young, and now our sons are saying them. Hope our boys follow the commercial's time line like we did. Maybe I'm being cynical, but I didn't like it because, as I posted in another thread: Just saw that State Farm commercial where the guy keeps saying he'll never (get married, have kids, move to the suburbs, etc.) with the next shot showing him doing just that. The last shot is him looking at his wife and kids and saying, "I'm never giving this up." It's supposed to be an "aww!" moment, but I keep thinking that by their own logic, the next shot should be him fighting with the now-ex wife over visitation or child support. 1 Link to comment
Neurochick January 29, 2015 Share January 29, 2015 (edited) The Zoosk dating site commercial is one of the best IMO. A lot better than that eHarmony crap. http://youtu.be/6ANTEJCNUQc Edited January 29, 2015 by Neurochick 3 Link to comment

They shouldn't have leaked it, then - the only way a gag like that can work is if it comes on just after you've seen the first one. 1 Link to comment

It is clever, but I got so annoyed at the tagline that I can't say I enjoyed it. "Welcome to the Sisterhood of Motherhood." After all those DADS are featured caring for their infants? What? DADS can't use Similac? Nice try, but you fail, Similac. 3 Link to comment

BooksRule February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 (edited) What's that old saying? Dogs have owners, cats have staff... This is from a few days ago, but I totally agree. There's another one that goes: 'The difference between a dog and a cat- Dog: 'These people feed me, shelter me and love me...they must be Gods.' Cat: 'These people feed me, shelter me and love me...I must be a God.' I just saw what I'm guessing is the newest DirectTV Rob Lowe ad. It's the one with 'peaked in high school' Rob. The hairstyle is funny as is the fact he's still wearing his high school athletic jacket and working at a fast food joint. And it sounds like the theme from 'St. Elmo's Fire' is playing in the background at the end. Funny! Edited February 1, 2015 by BooksRule 1 Link to comment

BubblingKettle February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I giggle at this commercial when he says, "You said you have a deposit? I can't hear you. The bank is closed." And you know what? When the bank is closed, it SHOULD remain closed ...even if some entitled person comes to the door after closing time and expects the workers to comply. In situations like that, I say the rules are the rules; adjust your schedule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg6jvUksS1c 4 Link to comment

Expat February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 The Geico commercial with 'Jesse' the cowboy. "I'm a loner; and a loner's gotta be alone." It never fails to make me laugh, esp. when he goes riding off into 'The End' and gets knocked off his horse. 8 Link to comment
