Love the new Peyton Manning Nationwide Commercial.   Especially when he looks at his bobblehead and starts wobbling his head.   It is just so darn funny.

 

"Never saw this one before."

 

Does anybody know who the woman is on the cooking show he's watching?

Well the guy is talking about how he has to get up so often that there's no deep couch sitting for him.  As in, you can't settle in when you sit.  "You gotta be prepared to sit at the edge of your couch and be ready to get up.  There's no deep couch sitting."  He's talking about sitting.

 

Well, alright; but the (adorable!) kid definitely says "deep couch city!"

Just  saw a new Geico commercial. A guy is in the office break room  and is heating something up in the microwave. Then you hear the song, The Final Countdown and then the band Europe is playing it. Sounds corny but I love those Geico commercials with celebrities.

 

EDITED: Thanks to Demented Daisy for posting the video. I didn't see it earlier when I posted. Now I can watch it again :)

The Slim Jim commercial is truly funny. However I must ask. When did marketers figure out African Americans were not eating enough jerky products. Hood stores use to never carry jerky products. First Stephen A. Smith weird jerky commercials now this. Thanks for introducing the hood community to more unhealthy eating choices.

There was a big sodium scare in the U.S. many years ago. People relaxed after further research indicated it to be mostly just African Americans who were susceptible to eating too much salt. The marketers probably figure that nobody remembers, so it's time to push consumption of salted meat products back up in a group that had stopped eating them for a good reason. Or, they're just ignorant and think they found an untapped market.

I always get a good laugh out of the State Farm commercial with a young guy thanking his "roommates" for putting up with him - including an English accent phase ("We're lit-rally out of milk") - but he's now found his own place.

Yeah, wow. I think they just chose two guys who looked like they could be friends who also happened to be black. As Freud said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

 

Not when it comes to advertising. Everything is part of a plan.

 

I'd wager big money that the casting call for that beef jerky ad was race specific.

WOW.  You guys seriously think this jerky thing is a THING?  Pretty cavalier of the jerky/slim jim companies.

 

I don't know if its the kind of thing that seems to be implied it is. If anything, the Amish guy is the butt of the joke, since why on earth would he tell some random dude he was getting pictures of his mother in the mail, even as a goof?

And where's the Amish guy's Germanic accent?

It's a funny commercial, but that was when I said "whaaat?"

Not all Amish have Germanic (or whatever) sounding accents. A young Amish woman comes to help at our house once a week, & she sounds as Midwestern as the rest of us.

And yeah, if the Amish guy in the ad said he was getting pictures of family in the mail that's a total joke. The Amish don't "do" pictures.

I adopted my lovely Stella, the tortoiseshell kitty, from a PetSmart event.

The Amish guy said he gets pics of "your mother" in the mail...y'know, like porn pics? A Yo Mama joke?  Of course it's a joke.

I think the Infiniti commercial with Christie Brinkley is kind of cute - it's a take-off on the classic scene from National Lampoon's Vacation with the family father in the SUV being flirted with by a gorgeous blonde in a red sports car. The best part is when he turns to his wife and it's Christie Brinkley. I just don't know how many people remember she played the Sports Car Blonde in the original movie.

This is from way back but I had to respond to the bolded part.

I wonder how many people remember that Brinkley's blonde in a sports car was a rip off of the original Blonde in a White T-Bird.

I wonder how many people would know that without googling. Damn, I'm old.

You mean Suzanne Somers?

No, I didn't Google that.

ethalfrida - MM Lincoln ads have accumulated so much DeLurker Hate, he could be driving it across a raging flooded road to save orphaned kittens and puppies and it still could not be a favorite for me.

DeLurker - Why don't you say what you REALLY feel?  hahahaha!  OMG, you are too funny - thanks for my first belly-laugh of the day!  (BTW, I don't like him, either.)  P.S.  Hope the Mods don't get upset -- I think these comments are better suited for the "Commercials I Hate" forum.  Haha!

Oops, apologies, Delurked, but I am missing something (nothing new for me though). Is it the guy driving you hate or Lincolns. Who is the guy? Not protesting your hate though. Shoot, I might learn something here...

I love Lincoln commercials because they use great music in them and the places they show are so cool.

Who is the guy?

 

Matthew McConaughey, who starred in the film adaptation of The Lincoln Lawyer (about a criminal defense attorney who mostly operates out of his chauffeured Lincoln Town Car rather than an office).

"Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there . . .  IN FRANCE!"

 

Never gets old.

 

Hee This in my head made me think of Bill Burr, the comedian who sings it as "like a good neighbor... go eff yourself..." He also does a rendition of Nationwide.... go eff yourself.."

 

OK I'll see myself out.

I love JLD in the Old Navy commercial with the fake French accent. But I love JLD in anything.

I am loving Dominic Purcell (of Prison Break, Blade Trinity and the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow) talking about yogurt! It's whipped yogurt and  it's all in his delivery. It's damn fun! Take that yogurt folks and/or Jeffery Donovan!
