Favorite Commercials

I've only seen 2 TV ads for Open Door, the service that claims it will buy your house as-is, & I really like them both.

The first is played constantly, featuring a Black sports star being interviewed about a possible trade, who's dismayed at the thought of having to move, with strangers judging his carpet & a faux ficus being installed in his home!  When he's assured that Open Door will buy his place without questions, he's readily prepared to re-locate.

The second is new to me, with a crew of astronauts stuck on the space station indefinitely wondering how to sell their home from outer space -- when Open Door is mentioned, one of them squeals "Don't open the door!".  Really quite funny, & unexpected.

Yeah, his rant about the faux ficus made me laugh.

Here's another VRBO commercial that I think is funny, especially that rooster.  😅

Haven't posted in this section in ages. Hope no one's linked this one yet.

Deon Cole in a bubble bath for Old Spice.  His soapy leg with a pointed toe, I'm dying.

[Shrek]

Just saw a commercial for Viator (?), no idea what they do but the ad involves a mountain goat & 2 climbers. I'm still laughing 5 minutes later.

[annzeepark914]

Has anyone seen the Geico ad featuring dueling accordions? It's hilarious 😆

[cynicat]

I'm tired of Kevin Hart, however this made me laugh 😁

I can't find it on YouTube to embed, but in this commercial, the dad's reaction to his little shit tween requesting a picture of the dinner he just made her cracks me up.

So do I. A picture of him eating dinner? Great response to his daughter requesting a picture.

On a vaguely related note: I sit in on settlement conferences for civil lawsuits in my courthouse, and one of the attorneys for State Farm is named Jake.

"Well, she sounds hideous!"

I love the new commercials for Temptation cat treats. It feels so accurate of cats. Especially the one closing the laptop.

[Palimelon]

From back in the day...I always liked the promo for the 2012 Olympics on BBC World. Granted, if you didn't like Ellie Goulding's Lights, you wouldn't have liked this ad. But a great way to repurpose it for "London Calling", and a great ad for the city of London.

So I just saw the latest Progressive "people turning into their parents" commercial, in which said people are going on about the weather...

...and, uh...I feel called out :p.

That totally was my dad.  Probably one of the very few things he had in common with Ozzie Osborne, an obsession with the Weather Channel.

Why does lebrons shirt look like it has paint splattered on it?

I've been fascinated with weather since I was a kid and have watched the Weather Channel regularly since I was old enough to really pay attention to TV. So...yeah. In that sense, I was apparently already well ahead of the game, LOL.

I get a lot of Philly TV where I live and although I'm a true blue Giants fan, this Jason Kelce Wawa ad is great.  He's a treasure.

While I do feel that the Kelce Bros. are getting a bit overexposed, Jason and Wawa is a match made in (Philly) heaven.

I'm not sure I ever posted to this thread, but I 💜 this Halloween commercial for Michaels.   The actress is perfect.

I like the Lazy Boy commercials about being lazy. Being out all day so they picked up takeout on the way home. Earning the right to scroll on their cell phones or watch TV because they work hard. These are my people.

It's actually two actresses, but yes, they are.

I love the Spectrum ad with all the musicians playing Sweet Child O Mine by Guns and Roses.

Twins?  Seriously?   I figured it was a camera trick.  In fact, I looked for information about her (them) to see if indeed it was actual sisters but found nothing.

That ad reminds of me of a high school crush who learned to play the guitar solo from that song.  At first when he told a bunch of us, we were impressed (partially because he was cute), but he wouldn't stop bringing it up.  Finally a girl was like, "Yeah, you told us that already."

The link you posted lists Ciara Jackson and Tiara Jackson as the twins in the commercial.  Assuming, of course, that the information on iSpot.tv is correct.

Ha!  Right in front of my eyes the whole time.   I didn't read the info on the linked site, just used it for the spot because it wasn't on youtube yet.

[Bastet]

I just saw that "terrifying twins" commercial for the first time this morning, and cracked up:

Their line delivery is great, especially from the actor who says "No, it's definitely you" and "Well, we look the same" (the one on the right).

I still think of that promo every time I hear that song. They also used it in their commercial bumpers.

I love the Progressive ad with Jamie giving up football for insurance. 

[KWalkerInc]

I can't find the video (it wasn't even on Progressive's YouTube page for some reason), but there is a follow-up ad where Jamie meets Flo at her car after quitting.  She is surprised he quit during the championship game and says that it wasn't necessary, there was no rush.  She suggests he could go back to fix things, but he thinks it's too late and is like, "Let's just go."  (Their line delivery is funny, unlike this description.)

[mmecorday]

Flo and Jamie have such a believable friendship.

And in front of the scout from Football College, too!  😁  I'm guessing the "FHS" on the hats and the jerseys stands for Football High School.

[andromeda331]

I like the one where Mara shoots Jamie in the neck with a blow dart after they finished cleaning up Beetlejuice's mess and Jamie won't stop saying his name. I am surprised she waited the this long to use it.

Jamie makes some good points, though, before Mara darts him.  I've wondered the same things about saying Beetlejuice's name.  

[ebk57]

That upward glance when she's talking about the gazebo is perfect!  

 

This campaign is so much better than the "boring" one. 

[millennium]

My second time here in a month!  What is going on????

 

[chessiegal]

I paid attention to the Wayfair Christmas ad today and realized at the end Kelly Clarkson hands the infamous leg lamp to Ralphie! 🤣

[Crashcourse]

And she said, "what the fudge!" 🤣

Edited October 20 by Crashcourse
Fudge! I saw the commercial again and had to get the quote right.

[Kimboweena]

One of my favs is back.  The Domino's pizza ad where the guy opens his oven, and all three dishes are on fire!

I saw that! I love that they got Ralphie for it. It was perfect!

[Annber03]

I really like that Subaru commercial where the woman adopts the dog and it's reluctant at first to bond with her, and then they wind up getting closer by the end <3. 

[ButterQueen]

 The way he says “Jerry’s eating rice” cracks me up.

[annzeepark914]

I just saw an ad for a mattress or bed and heard a very cool version of "Spooky". Looked it up at YouTube and it was Dusty Springfield. Who knew? I sure didn't and it looked as though she came out with it first.

And he says something about it being a Christmas Classic and she replies, "Like you."

Clock it on October 28---

The return of the Capital One ad with John Travolta as Saturday Night Fever Santa.

[Ohiopirate02]

This one has been cracking me up--

 

[proserpina65]

I haven't seen any of my favorite Halloween commercials, and with only today and tomorrow to go, I think I probably won't.  

😥

My current favorite commercial (must have sound).

I love the Club Kid rolling his (their?) eyes. A subtle but hysteric touch!
