Someone brought this commercial up in another thread which reminded me to post it here.  I usually tune out car commercials but this one made me laugh.  I love how the dog owner starts reciting the designer breed of her dog which is SO different than a common 'poodle'.  The pretentiousness of those who think these are real breeds is spot on.  We used to just call them mutts

That was before there was DNA testing to say for sure which breeds of dog got together to produce that "mutt". Maybe dog breeders got tired of dealing with the genetic diseases common to some purebreds and want to shift customers to something not so "pure", like diamond companies started pushing colored diamonds once their competitors figured out how to manufacture colorless ones inexpensively and of better quality.

I love the purposely corny ads for Taco Bell's Naked Chicken Chalupa (I will leave it to others to debate the quality of the actual food in question):

The part that puts it over the top? "...or Spicy Chicken Choop Choop, as the youths call it." "I have literally never said 'Spicy Chicken Choop Choop' in my life."

"You just did, Jerry. You just did." and Jerry's totally nonplussed gape that follows.

I have a new fave but unfortunately I cannot find in online anywhere!!

I'm 99% sure it's for Discover and the alerts they send you if there's suspicious activity on your card or whatever. 

It's a woman calling to her dog: "You want a treat? You want a treat? You want a treat?" and as the dog approaches, he gets an alert that says "Alert: You're going to the vet." Then the dog starts to back away. LOL!

Once again, GEICO knocks it out of the park with, "As long as villains explain their evil plans..." (the Bond-hero tied up, watching the British Bad Guy doing a power point demonstration)...freakin' genius. 

The best part is how detailed the presentation is.  "Step one: Choosing the right drill bit."

And Flo is the monster in the closet?

"I think there's something going on at school...." HA!  I love that commercial too.  The monster is concerned about the kid's well being.

 

Ok I've seen this commercial a lot but it still cracks me up--the Sling commercial!  That guy at the end unbuttoning his shirt, displaying his chest hair is just too funny!  *show em' what you got to offer!* And it helps that the guy in the commercial is such a cutie pie!  *wowzers!*

No that's not it, although it might be the same dog. Might be the same owner too  but I don't think you see her face in it. The one I'm talking about is the owner asking the dog repeatedly if it wants a treat so it will come up to her, then the dog gets an alert that says "You're going to the vet." And then the dog slowly backs away.

I'm still stuck on the kid talking to his parents about his car accident in a "really narrow drive-through" ... can't get enough of it!!!  LOL.

Me too!  I didn't see the link above. Here it is.  Right now, it's my favorite.  I like the way the young man talks....something about him. Have you noticed how much he resembles the mom in this ad?

Yes, there is definitely a resemblance there.  I wonder how many "fans" he has?  Two for sure!!!

I'm the same way - not only have I not gotten sick it despite the dozens of times I've seen it, I still laugh at it.  Everything he says (and every look they give him in response) amuses me, especially his, "Okay, yep, goodnight" retreat when his mom grounds him from the car for four weeks.

When I first saw this Subaru commercial, I yelled out "Rusty!", because the actor in it played one of the main characters in the TV show "Greek", which was on from 2007-2011.  And I don't think I had seen him in anything since that show went off the air.  There is a much longer version of this commercial linked on the actor's (Jacob Zachar) imdb.com page.

I can't find it on YouTube, but I just saw a commercial for Espresso Snickers with an old lady looking at a picture drawn by a young child and she's on the phone with one of the kid's parents and she says, "Yeah, I got it. What the hell is it?"

Her reaction was so unexpected that I was rolling.
