Favorite Commercials

[Bruinsfan]

A new ad (I think for car insurance?) just cracks me up. A group of people are standing, clearly panicked, fleeing some pursuer.

"Should we run to the basement?" one says.

"Why can't we just get in the running car?" replies a girl among them. A shot of said car is seen, clearly in working order.

"Don't be crazy," guy answers. "Let's hide in the chainsaws!"

 

Tagline: "When you're in a horror movie, you make bad decisions. Don't make bad decisions, choose x insurance!"

Don't forget someone yelling "Head for the cemetary!" when they're running away at the end.

Yeah, I love that it's the 'dumb' blonde making the smartest suggestion.

Tom Cat and Dead Mouse Theater - 'but we went to summer school together".  Yes, it's creepy and bizarre and I laugh everytime.

[captain1]

I love Dead Mouse Theater!!  Does Pillaging Mouse call the other mouse "Eggnog"??  Makes me LOL every time.

[ShadowSixx]

I loved this commercial, I would have purchased the car lol

 

[Bruinsfan]

Is that Rose McGowan?

[ShadowSixx]

No that's not Rose McGowan.

I like this commercial with the poor decisions that people in horror films are known to make stupid decisions from not taking the running car and instead going to the barn with the hanging chainsaws and then running to the cemetary. Brought back classic 80's and 90's slasher films which I loved watching growing up. I'm really not a fan of Geico commercials but I like this one.

[Cobalt Stargazer]

And I like the killer's face when he lifts up his mask. He looks all, "You have got to be kidding me with this."

[peeayebee]

Geico's done it again. The way the woman dressed in scrubs is looking at this guy cracks me up.

I love this commercial. I think it's one of the better Geico ones, those the top will always be Abe Lincoln being honest.

[riley702]

Really? Ickey is a bit annoying to me. I like the horror movie one above ("let's hide behind the chainsaws!") and of course, honest Abe "Does this make my backside [bottom?] look big?" and the dude's in agony, knowing he's screwed no matter what.

I just now googled Ickey Woods. Never heard of him, and I didn't realize that wasn't just an actor. Anyway, I still think it's a funny commercial. I love the horror movie one, too.

[janie jones]

From that commercial I learned what this "Ickey Shuffle" I had heard so much about was.

[friendperidot]

late night tv watching again, ad for on line tire buying, tiretrak.com - maybe? pretty low budget, but funny, one shows a woman driving to a scientific conference - imposes math equations over her face and voice over says if she were thinking about purchasing tires, she'd go to their service, but she's not - she's thing...important thoughts. it's amusing and there's another one that's just as funny but I've only seen it once and don't remember. bad case of crs.

My favorite is the one where they guy is traveling with his aunt's mynah bird that keeps talking. It sounds like the bird's singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

[friendperidot]

I like several Geico ads, some are irritating, but I always laugh at the Kenny Rodgers, the chocolate M&Ms and now the one with the football player celebrating cold cuts. I don't follow football or sports so I don't care who he is but I just enjoy the ad. 

 

Also like the ad with the husband & wife settling down to snuggle after the kids are asleep and she has surprise...cracks me up with his intonation...oh.my.Fruitloops.

[peeayebee]

I love this Subaru commercial with the little boy who imagines driving the car. The child actor is so good. This version is longer than what I've seen on TV.

[Bastet]

I really like what the actor does with it, but, like another poster, I am distracted by the sickly look he has from the dark circles under his eyes.

[BabyVegas]

Oh my God, when the one penguin tucks the other two in?

I like the NFL shop commercial where she talks about how her family evolved from just a Vikings family.   I especially love how she says "And had Bengal babies."   It's just so darn cute.

The chainsaw killer does an eye roll and slightly shakes his head--an expression that I've frequently seen on my Millennial son's face--as in what-the-fuck.

And when they open the freezer and you see the little cartons of "Anchovy Delight" and "Krazy Krill"? LOL

I don't really like the one with Kenny Rogers, but I love Geico's new one.

[gameoff]

This is my absolute favorite Geico commercial.  The part where he says it took him 8 months to get the little chubby one to yellow 'Row', and that was strange because row is such a small word makes me laugh so hard.

I think the Taz one is funny but HATE the cold cuts one. HATE. Dive for the remote hate. I did like Hump Day and the follow up with Vanessa Williams' chocolate M&M telling him to can it.

[Bastet]

Among those "Well, did you know ..." Geico commercials, I'm unimpressed by the ones with Taz and Ickey Woods (which is a shame, as I really want that one to amuse me) and annoyed by the one with the auctioneer as a grocery clerk (why are people bidding to pay more for her groceries?!).  But I love "words can hurt," Kenny Rogers, the unwise owl, Old MacDonald as a bad speller (due to "Dagnabit!"), and the oldest trick in the book.  "Madest thou look."

[turbogirlnyc]

I never knew it was Vanessa Williams' voice! But I can totally see or hear it now.

[peeayebee]

That's news to me too!

[Bastet]

She's the voice of "Ms. Brown" in a whole bunch of M&M commercials.

The Quicken Loans commercials have grown on me, especially the one with parkour Abe.

I hate that too.  And not only that, the guy is bidding to buy someone else's groceries! 

[peeayebee]

I hadn't seen that Lincoln/parkour commercial. I like it too. I don't know if parkour is uncool yet, but I always enjoy watching it.

[BooksRule]

I like the new Lowe's commercials, such as the 'How to install a fence while riding a motorcycle' one.  The guy rides out of his garage on his motorcycle and glances over at the two guys from Lowe's installing his fence.  I love his 'woo hoo!' as he rides away. 

 

The one that has the line 'How to install a new washer with one finger' is cute, too.  'A little bit more to the left' as she waves her finger at the guy from Lowe's.

[Aquarius]

Don't know why, because I hate Comcast - err - Xfinity with the heat of a thousand suns, but this one cracks me up.  "If I did this to you, you'd murder me in my sleep!"  Ha!

I never even knew the actor was a "someone" before I went to look up the link.

[Rick Kitchen]

He isn't a someone, just some guy who's in tons of commercials.

[Aquarius]

He was in Breaking Bad and all the video links gave his name. I assumed he had a pretty big part and name recognition. Guess not.

[panthergirl13]

Not sure if anyone's already posted this, but these Verizon "Half Fast" commercials crack me up every time.

[Prevailing Wind]

Oh, "he" IS someone - isn't that Eddie the Jack Russell from Frasier?

 

The prefix in is the opposite of the prefix ex,  right?  Like interior/exterior.  So if Infinity is limitless, what does that make Exfinity?

I looked him up too. He acts in Mom, plays Christie's ex and I guess he is a director too . He was on The Talking Dead the other night.

Oh.  Never watched Breaking Bad.

[janie jones]

I'd guess that since Frasier came on over twenty years ago, and that dog was an adult when the trainer got him, that the dog who played Eddie (I think his name is Moose) is dead by now.

 

That Xfinity commercial is hilarious though.  "I can't not know if I know that you know."

There were two Eddies.  First was Moose and when he retired, his son Enzo took over.  Both canine actors are dead.

The Flanders FXX commercial never fails to crack me up.

In spite of the dubious use of "literally", I like the Dawn ad with the overextended family gathering where people have to use novelty cups and plates.

These commercials brought back memories of my childhood and if you can take me back to my childhood, it's all good lol. I'm a 90's child, even though the Whatchamacallit is an 80s commercial but I was born in the 80's lol.

I'll see your Dum Dums commerical, and raise you a vintage Charms Blow Pop one:

 

 

Also, this is my favorite recent commercial:

I love people who dance like they don't give a single f--k.

[avecsans]

I actually laughed out loud at the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese commercial I saw tonight. It is set to the song "What I Did for Love" and it shows people doing various shady stuff to get more Mac and cheese. The funniest was the guy holding a macaroni craft project that spelled out "world's greatest dad" or something to that effect over a pot of boiling water.

[riley702]

I love Dead Mouse Theater!!  Does Pillaging Mouse call the other mouse "Eggnog"??  Makes me LOL every time.

Just saw this and had closed-captions on, as both the washer and dishwasher are going. According to that, it's "Agnar". And Ulfrik, which I thought was usually spelled Ulfric. I think I liked it better when I thought it was Eggnog.
