Favorite Commercials

[Prevailing Wind]

But that kind of is the point.

This may be a market specific commercial but it makes me bounce in my seat every time it comes on

[configdotsys]

I love these two and apologize if someone posted them here already:

Below is a different commercial but would not embed in the page.

OK, nothing poignant about it but I like the Snow White One-Ups the Evil Queen Halo one. If one looks closely can see a 'disclaimer' of 'do not eat fruit that talks'!LOL

[SoSueMe]

Okay, I admit that I think Trivago guy is really hot, but wow, he is giving the pharmaceuticals a run for the most on air time. Well, him and the other travel/cruise type companies. I never realized how much people must travel, I'm a homebody :) 

[Prevailing Wind]

Personally, I find half the fun of a Road Trip is the planning, including finding hotels, so Trivago doesn't interest me at all.  But I get most of travel tips from Roadsideamerica.com.  I just love finding all the weird crap on the side of the road. I can't WAIT to see the Ansted Mystery Hole in West Virginia!

I like the Yoplait commercial where the daughter and dad meet at the refrigerator. She says she's about to pull out a yogurt as a midnight snack and he specifies that it's 10:43. She then clarifies that she's having a 10:43 snack. The two of them are very cute together. 

[Silver Raven]

I'm confused as to why the Dad was already in bed that early.

[Prevailing Wind]

He has to get up early for a long commute to work?

[Bruinsfan]

I cracked up over this hypno-cat ad for Sheba:

10:43 pm is early to be in bed?  I'm in bed by 10:30.  Maybe I need more sleep to get up and shoo kids off my lawn.

I guess we all put our own spin on things- I didn't think he was already in bed, just that he thought she should be. I put on my schlumpy clothes and settle down on the couch until after the late news, but if I hear my kids come into the kitchen, I would be inclined to go check on why they weren't in bed (especially since I know they'll be fussing at me the next morning when I wake them up for school.)

[janie jones]

Yeah, it never occurred to me that he might already be in bed.  But 10:43 is only early depending on what time you have to get up.  My husband has to get up at 4, so he goes to bed around 9.

[Bastet]

I didn't think he was already in bed, either, but 10:30 seems a pretty common "bed time" for adults (not that people are asleep by then - although, obviously, some are - but that it's when you shut things down and get in bed to read/watch TV for a bit before dozing off), so, either way - dressed for bed or in bed at 10:43 - it's a non-issue for me.

I love the John Hamm H&R Block ad with the zombie.

Although it reminds me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy jokes about being "dead for tax purposes" - she's dead, so...

[Dirtybubble]

*le sigh* I miss John Hamm.  I love all the H & R Block commercials with Don Draper :). I just saw this one this morning and loved it.  "I feel really itchy" 

[janie jones]

It looks like this one has been around a while, but I saw it for the first time today.  The look on the mom's face is priceless, and it didn't end the way I was expecting it to.  (The version I saw has a slightly different ending, with the daughter walking in on the mom.)

[BusyOctober]

As much as I dislike those Chevy commercials with "real customers NOT actors", I'm loving the new LEGO/Bat Mobile one.  I love the LEGO-ized Chevy dude, and anything with Will Arnett's Batman voice is good for me.

[Dirtybubble]

The Progressive box commercials are kinda so-so for me but this one is kinda funny.  "Where's your bellybutton?". Hahaha 

[Jaded]

I watch UK TV online and this commercial always cracks me up. All the decent versions I could find to post are geo blocked on YT.
 

[chessiegal]

We were in London for a week last spring. I never saw one annoying commercial, and many that made me laugh. Granted, I wasn't sitting in a hotel room watching tv all day, but really, how much tv in the US would you need to watch to see an annoying commercial? My guess, 30 minutes.

[Prevailing Wind]

My guess would be 6 minutes.

1 minute

Do not pollute the favorite commercials thread with complaints about annoying commercials!  All is sweetness and light here.

My current favorite is the swimming mutts.  I'm sure it's all cgi, but I like their synchronicity.

Do you mean the State Farm commercial?  Yeah its cute even though I've seen it 487 times :)

I like pretty much all of the Farmers Insurance commercials.  Some of them are so clever.  And the mutts are adorable.

I'm amused with the new KFC Golden Colonel. I had no clue that it was Billy Zane until I googled it. 

[Haleth]

I don't always love the KFC commercials but it's kind of fun to see a new Colonel every six months and try to figure out who it is.

Mr. Clean gets his sexy on.

During the Super Bowl, Snickers ran this live ad:

 

And now he's issuing an "apology"

I don't understand why they don't just get an actor to play Mr. Clean.  (Also, this commercial is stupid.)

[Jamoche]

Opening scene: sick hubby on the couch complaining that his mom makes him soup when he's sick.

Wife, obviously on her way to work: "Huh." *tosses phone* "You should call your mom, then."

Cut to husband cooking soup.

Whoo! A non-useless ad husband!

Maybe they were afraid people wouldn't recognize him as Mr. Clean if they got an actor?  That said, I agree an actor would be sexier than an animated Mr. Clean.  But I like the commercial in general, mainly because I would absolutely jump a man who'd clean for me.  I hate cleaning.

[StaceyNotStacie]

There's a second Turbo Tax commercial with Humpty Dumpty. The Humpty Dance is playing in the background with people dancing in the hallways. 

[Blergh]

I like the Mercury Insurance one with the  two agents evidently summoned to a Darth Vader-like darkened office in which they get 'interrogated' by the shadowy figure  armed with lightning effects behind the desk  yet remain completely unflappable  even when he does a complete 180 with the lights on and becomes Mister Rogers's long lost twin at the end. LOL

[Gam2]

I love that yogurt commercial with the dad and little girl who wears glasses. She's too cute for words. I also don't think 10:43 is early to be in bed. I'm usually in bed around 9:00 to read/watch TV before going to sleep. People who have to get up early for work usually go to bed by that time. Different strokes.

[zoey1996]

I really like the Toyota "dog tested, dog approved" commercials.  They're all funny, but I really like the one where they go to the restaurant and come out carrying doggie bags!  And then a cat is the valet!

[Brattinella]

The "cat valet" just cracks me up!

[Ohwell]

The hair salon one cracks me up.

[mojoween]

I love the cat valet because he's so bad at his job and just does not care.

Of course he doesn't care - he's a cat!

[DrSpaceman73]

I love all those as well......

 

but its Subaru, not Toyota. 

[riley702]

Oops!

[Haleth]

The one with the slobbering bulldog grosses me out though.  I can't watch it without gagging.

[Prevailing Wind]

I love the one where they all start barking at the mail truck.
