Finagler December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 I hate commercials so I watch all my tv using my dvr and FF through them. Every once in a while I stop to soon and see something that is funny. The pistachio commercial with the elephant and the squirrel sisters, just cracks me up. The squirrel sisters know how to party.....they'll do anything for pistachios..... 2 Link to comment
merylinkid December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 The NFL Gear ads with Jason Witten are hilarious. Mostly because of the kid. The kid is juuuust snarky enough to be funny without wanting to slap the crap out of him. Witten: I had to do all that to get this (touching hat) Kid: I saw it on NFL.com, my mom got it for me. Witten after detailing all the games he played in to get his stuff: You know how many games this kid played in? Zero. Kid: (mouthing with a smile on his face) Zero. 8 Link to comment

Wouldn't surprise me to see him elsewhere on my TV, someday. Is that Witten? I thought it was Tony Romo. Link to comment
merylinkid December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 Romo looks like Jim Nabors. Plus in the clips of him playing, you see him catching the ball. 1 Link to comment

Shows you how much you see dads on TV doing stuff with their kids that I thought for sure that Mom was dead. No, just deployed. A bunch of gender stereotypes got blown up with this one. Well played, dying corporate giant, well played. 7 Link to comment

I love the State Farm ad with Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews, when Rodgers attempts to take out a fly with a golf club and winds up taking out his windows instead. And it's all because of Matthews -- him asking, with mouth full of food, "Well, did you get it?" and waving the broom around in the background in the final shot, trying to shoo the fly out the busted window, are my favorite parts. I never noticed Clay Matthews swinging the broom until you mentioned it. Saw it tonight and watched especially. Clay Matthews definitely makes the commercial. Although Rodgers' shrug when he is asked if he got it is kinda funny too. Definitely better than all the "Discount Double Check" ads where no one recognizes him. 4 Link to comment

Blergh December 23, 2016 Share December 23, 2016 I like the Angry Orchard Hard Cider one with the (almost) constantly scowling orchard attendant. I guess because I have a coworker who looks almost exactly like that and who often surprises everyone by smiling when least it's least expected. 3 Link to comment

Katmai January 4, 2017 Share January 4, 2017 Recently I've noticed a new VW commercial uses the old School House Rock song My Hero, Zero. I love it & this new version of it. I'm old and remember that song back when I was a kid. Link to comment
meep.meep January 5, 2017 Share January 5, 2017 My new favorite commercial is the T Mobile one with Arianna Grande where the girl kicks her out of the car because she needs to save her last few bars for navigation. Why is it my favorite? Because I love seeing Arianna Grande standing by the side of the road in the desert wearing her stupid big puffy jacket. 9 Link to comment
cynicat January 6, 2017 Share January 6, 2017 I'm not totally sure where this should go, but I decided to post it here. Why is it a favorite? Because I think it's hysterical and every time it comes on I can't help but believe it's an SNL spoof. It's so over the top that I'm mesmerized. FWIW, I like Bill Anderson as a newscaster but this is just...no. Behold, For Goodness Sake: Link to comment
Dirtybubble January 8, 2017 Share January 8, 2017 Now that it's tax season I love seeing the new Turbotax commercials. My favorite so far is the one with Kathy Bates in it. It fits her perfectly. Besides being popular in the horror genre this commercial really calls to her recent projects on American Horror Story 10 Link to comment

topanga January 9, 2017 Share January 9, 2017 I don't know how recent this is, but I saw it for the first time yesterday. In the latest promo for The Voice, the four hosts are introduced like they're doing the opening credits for an ABC sit com, a.l.a. Full House or Family Matters. It's hilarious. Link to comment
EighteenTwelve January 9, 2017 Share January 9, 2017 I'm going to be tired of it by the end of next weekend, but this weekend, the Geico ad with the Dallas Cowboys tryouts was pretty funny. Especially "The man is wearing spurs." 2 Link to comment

Duke2801 January 11, 2017 Share January 11, 2017 (edited) I admit the first couple times I saw this Pearle Vision commercial I was confused. Like, what, did he steal his grandfather's glasses? Dumb kid! Then, the 3rd time I saw it: it clicked, and my eyes welled up. And I legit tear up EVERY darn time I see it (and I see it often because they play it on Hulu and I'm currently on a Community binge). http://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/news/2017/01/10/energy-bbdo-chicago-teams-with-pearle-vision.html Edited January 11, 2017 by Duke2801 3 Link to comment

I get that, but the frames are STILL too big for him. It wasn't the lenses causing poor vision that made the glasses drop onto the football field. He needs one of those elastic strappy things around the back of his skull to hold them tighter to his face, lenses or not. 2 Link to comment

The frames he's wearing at the end fit him just right - clearly not the ones he's wearing in the beginning. I interpreted that they gave him glasses that LOOKED like his grandfather's but were his own. Link to comment

A shirt or watch would seem a better choice, why choose something that would cause you to loose your eyesight?! Edited January 14, 2017 by Dirtybubble 1 Link to comment
