Most favorite commercial? [Archive]

That topic about hated commercials is as old as dirt, but I don't see one for most liked. Maybe it's because the odds of liking one are far less than for hating one, but here are a few ones currently running that rub me the right way:

The iPod people dancing in a swirl of green and arrows--it gets ya movin'.

The Volkswagen couple who love loud music and buy the Subwoofer, then stomp on the floor, and you think they're annoying their apartment neighbor but it turns out they actually bought a house. It must have been one huge shopping trip, but I'm willing to forego logic---because they're cute. Stomp stomp stomp!

The Sarah Jessica Parker "Pretty Khaki" ad where she sings that old Broadway song. Most people are aware that after this started airing, Parker turned 40 and the SECOND she did, Gap cancelled her contract. Just like that. What an ageist shame; this is the only place--ad or otherwise--I've seen Parker where she doesn't seem overrated.

Wake up with the King.

I swear the new one where the King is just standing in the windowsill caught me os off gurad that I was laughing hysterically throughout the entiread and missed most of it. I also enjoyed the "chicken ranch" ads (is that really Hootie singing that song?) I guess I just reall dig these offbeat ads that have a bit of non-sequiter bite to them (like the Quiznos mutants)

No, it isn't Hootie, it's Darius Rucker. As he himself said on "I Love the 90s", there is no Hootie, despite all the people who call him that.

I still dig the series of credit card commercials with the "People don't always use common sense" tagline, particularly the bridesmaid one and the beehive one.

Any Gieco ads, especially the "Tiny House" one. The one where the guy is trying to remove the bee hive, but instead falls into it and crashes into the garbage with it. The Carl's Jr. commercial with the sonogram(sp?) baby yelling at his mom to stop eating spicy foods. The new Sonic one where the dad is trying to get his kid to throw the basketball through the net. A few others, but I can't think of them at the moment. I only like about 2% of commercials most of the time.

All three Burger King commercials that have the king in, especially the Tendercrisp Bacon Chedder Ranch one.

Skittles, especially "Sour Man" and guy-in-the-nest.

And, to a much lesser extent, the Coke ad using the Coconut song (even if they did change the word coconut to "Coke, you nut."

Skittles, especially "Sour Man" and guy-in-the-nest.http://home.messiah.edu/~as1321/skittles-150.gif
One of the best commercials of all time. "Thank you! Thank you very mu-ch!"

And the Burger King ones too, they're great.

This isn't a funny commercial, but the one for Gatorade where the people are performing exercises and they shatter like bits of gravel because they weren't replenishing their body with Gatorade. The special effects when the various people (jogger, football player, etc.) collapse into a million pieces is cool.

The Skittles ones rock: The man in the nest, the sour man, and there was a new one I just saw today advertising the blended flavor skittles. There were these man goats talking and laughing.

Some recent favorites:

- Travelocity: "Myth #2: American appliances don't work in Europe." Need I say more?

- Hewlett-Packard: The ads with the moment in time pictures of all those people. I see a butt-load of Clios in the future of the ad agency.

- Mountain Dew: The one with the guy playing basketball with the imaginary characters, and the one with the car alarm.

Instead of popping blood vessels whenever we talk about Kids Bop 8 or 10 lets talk about something we actually like. Commercials that you like to watch! Yep, commercials that in rare occasions are actually better than the show your watching. I'll start. Since I'm hyper from the iced tea.

Case in point. Commercial number 1: TBS's Commercial parody of LoTR: Secret Lovers. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2hwV0ZEz7c&search=TBS%20Lord%20of%20The%20Rings

Whenever I watch it I try to contain my laughter...and maybe a kitten or two dies but who's counting dead kitties? :sweat:

The fact that I'm watching a commercial developed by TBS that's not syndicated from somewhere else that's actually funny, is funny, and very funny. :)

Your turn! Or you can just ignore me like a writer from Family guy trying to write a episode about Meg Griffin. :p

I like the Sierra Mist set of commercials with Jim Gaffigan. They always crack me up. "Just give me the word, Wendy."

The Sonic commercials are also quite funny. Two people sitting in a car, talking about stuff while they eat. "My womany instincts can tell me when I know someone's full of it." :D

Finally, I like the Dairy Queen ad where the man accidentally sets the whole office on fire by breathing after eating a FlameThrower burger.

Most of my faves are rather old. Jerry Seinfeld having the walk-and-talk with Superman ("People are always asking me to bend things!") is always good for a chuckle.

So is the classic 'American Tourister' ad with the hyper gorilla flinging the suitcase all around his cage. Similar simian humor is utilized in the current 'Trunk Monkey' series (though that title is inaccurate- a chimpanzee is an ape, not a monkey.)

But the biggest laugh I ever got from an ad, was my first viewing of a certain Dunkin Doughnuts spot. It starts out looking just like news-helicopter coverage of a highway police chase. The perp car and the cop car exit the highway and pull into a DD parking lot; the perp jumps out and runs into the building with the cop close behind. "It looks like it's all over, folks!" says the chopper reporter.
Seconds later, the perp and cop (both carrying bags) run back out, jump into their respective vehicles, and take off. "They're heading back for the highway- I don't believe it!"

No Matter How Busy Your Morning, There's Always Time For Dunkin Doughnuts.

For purely carnal reasons, I'm loving these new Hanes commercials. ...the ones with the women, I mean. I'll take those over Victoria's Secret commercials any day.

And yes, TBS does some great movie promos. The ones for The Matrix Reloaded were great, with Keanu Reeve's dull, confused responses to all of those questions. And I loved the Gladiator ones with the whole hip-hop angle (like the forward/reverse footage of that one guy raising his hand in the air).

The old Barq's root beer commercials are classic.
"Whaddya mean Barq's has bite?" :D

But the funniest commercial I've ever seen in my life was an old "Got Milk?" commercial where a bunch of old geezers drink milk and suddenly become strong enough to take out a biker gang! :lol:

I liked the Snickers commericals:

There's a car alarm going off and a lady drops a sofa on it. "Need to crunch something? Grab a Snickers."

Another one was where this kid was talking with his high school counselor and the counselor says something like, "Instead of getting a job, have you considered joining a cult? You don't have to pay taxes."
The announcer says, "Impaired judgement: another unfortunate side affect of hunger."

Starburst commercials are also good.

Those new JCPenney commercials are kinda cool, I think it might be the music that goes with it and the stylish guys are kinda cute too.

And the old mountain dew commercial with the guy fighting a big horn sheep for a mountain dew is one of my favorites.

My favorite commercial is that Gain commercial.:) It's where the guy is standing up on the bus while there was a lot of woman around him, smelling his shirt.:sweat: The little gig was that bus wasn't even full so there was no reason for them to be standing up surrounding him. I couldn't help but laugh because the guy looked so scared and confused.:D

My other favorite commercial is that KFC commercial where the mom and dad in the kitchen calling their kids from downstairs so that can eat and all of sudden the kids ran from downstairs to car and buckled themselves up. Their parents were lookin' like "Where are they going?" I was so tickled by this commercial.:D

Resurrection time.

There's a great new Chevy ad campaign: "Gas pumps hate us." It depicts gas pumps sabotaging people's cars after they walk away. I've seen the one where the pump punctures the guy's tire a lot, and now I saw another one where the pump opens the front door, locks it, and shuts it. Great stuff. Pretty good special effect, too.

I love the "Messin' with Sasquatch" ads. My favorite is the one where the guy loosens the cap on the salt shaker and it spills all over sasquatch's steak, then he runs and clotheslines the guy off into the trees.

Ahh I was hoping someone would would bump this thread (too lazy to look for it)

I gotta agree on "Messin with Sasquatch"

but my most favorite ad-love is the Skittle Extreme Gum ad where Some aborigine is standing on a tiger striped elephant and proclaims that he is the master of anything extreme, and if he hasn't heard of the gum, it isn't really extreme. He tries it, proclaims that the children have "won this round" and hops on to the suddenly-appearing helicopter lader, and sets fire to a phone booth for no reason whatsoever.

Tis a shame the othger Skittles gum , where a oddly non-atractive girl pesters a guy chewing his gome for some, and he flies away with a bubble he made form the gum. Lamezors

Skittles Rabbit commercial is just so bizarre. The timing on the final gag where the rabbit bites the man in the arm=gold.

I also love the Domino's "Two Times Tuesday" ad:
Manager: Talkin' free pizza, people! Can I get a "Hoo ha" Two Times Tuesday?
Man: ......................Hoo ha.
Manager: THANK YOU! That's what I'm talkin' about!

New Fedex commercial: "We already have offices located in China." "Bob, place a pin on China." (hesitant guy walks up to map and puts pin in map) ".....That's Russia." (tries again) ".....That's Greenland. You don't know where China is, do you?" :D

Really has nothing to do with FedEx (aside from stating the "offices in China" thing stated at the beginning), but it's hilarious.

And I continue to love the Sonic commercials. The one where the guy is going to review the latest burger on his blog was great. "My many readers will enjoy hearing about this." "And by readers, you mean... your mom?" "Well she might tell her friends..."

Citroen transforming robot ads- Only two so far, but these are awesome and Hasbro has acknowledged they're something the Transformers movie will have to top.

Burger King- The king didn't seem to catch on here but when they tried it we got some UK exclusive ads involving an ATM machine and a pole dancer (I uploaded both to YouTube a while back).

Honda's 'design' campaign- There's a series of these, using the same voice over. The most famous one is where the various parts of a car are all laid out in one cartoony mechanism, setting each other off like Mouse Trap. The other one I'm fond of is a CGI animated one with a song about the purpose of design "Hate something....change something....Hate something, change something, make something betterrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

I love most of the sarcastic cell phone company commercials. The Helio commericial is great, especially when she introduces her boyfriend [who is not Japanese] and the mom I think says "konnichiwa".

Also, the To Go Phone commericial for I forget what company. She's "arguing" with her mother but it's all good stuff.

"Why do you insist on treating me like an adult?!"

"Why do you insist on treating me like an adult?!" I love that one, especially this exchange:

Girl: I LOVE you.
Mom: (shocked look) I know you really mean that.
Girl: You NEVER hated me and you NEVER will!
Mom: You are the most... grateful little!....

Speaking of phone commercials, I forget what company it's for, but the series of commercials where people get cut off during a cell phone conversations, so it sounds like when one side asks them a question, the other side is hesitant to respond (but in reality, they keep on talking and are just cut off). I love the one with the guy who says, "You'll always be the one for me, right girl?" His girlfriend starts chatting but he thinks she's seeing someone else and doesn't want to answer. :D

There was another one that was similar but I forget what the scenario was. Can someone fill me in?

It looks even better on the big screen. If alll the commercials before the movies were like this, I'd probably go more. I've also grown very fond of this one (http://mfile.akamai.com/332/asf/cocacola.download.akamai.com/332/corporate/_media/tv/csol_ringtone_30_300k.asx). It's very sweet.

I like the new one for V8, where the mother is talking "baby talk" to her little girl in a stroller. The baby looks at her strangely, then smacks her on the forehead with her hand, leaving the mother to just sit there in bewilderment. (Not sure what it has to do with V8, but it made me laugh, especially the first look on the baby's face.)

I really like that advert from Mexico with Batgirl, Catwoman, and Wonder Woman. It's my new favorite. Nice! :nurse: :nurse: :nurse:

I also like the Pepto advert with the giant monsters. The tune is even catchy. They don't seem to show the extended cut anymore, though.

Going back aways, I like the Burger King adverts where they splice the King into NFL footage. Always funny!

Also, I always liked the Twixt advert with the Asian girl in the elevator. Damn, she was cute. Who is she?

I liked the Starburst advert where the kid tries to shoot one of the candies into another kid's mouth with a slingshot and knocks him out instead. Then some guy grabs it off his forehead and runs away! :lol:

Does anyone remember the chewing gum advert where the CPR dummy steals the instructor's gum and runs away? I can't remember the product name, though.

There's another commercial I like, I think for Ice Breaker gum or whatever it's called. Two guys are standing in line at a grocery store, and one offers the other a stick. He tries it, and his reaction, "Woah," happens just as the older lady infront of him bends over. She thinks he's reacting to her, turns around, and wacks him with her purse yelling, "Pervert!" Too funny. :D

I saw a great one today for whatever phone service it is that lets you have a "five" of your five favorite people to call. A family is at a dinner table and the parents ask the kids if they chose their five yet. The girl lists five female names. The boy lists the same names. He says, "her friends are hot!" The girl gets upset, and the father says (in a fatherly deadpan voice), "Maybe you should get uglier friends." I'm not sure if I quoted it correctly, but it's very well-done.

02-28-2007, 05:13 PM

^Yes, I love that commercial. The dad's delivery is what makes it so funny.

I love the Bob Goulet/Emerald Nuts commercial that debuted during the SuperBowl. I usually hate EN ads, but this one just totally cracks me up. I happened to catch it on tape while recording something last week and am going to transfering it to my computer so I can keep it. The final shot is hilarious.

Love the Chuck Norris/Mountain Dew SuperBowl commercial, too, but have yet to see it on TV. Only online.

I also like the new for the Rachett & Clank(?) game where the guys are camping and shrink their friend so he can sneak into the girls' tent, but then an owl swoops down and picks him up, carrying him off into the trees. The guys just stand there in shock, and in the distance you can hear a faint little scream. Hahaha!!

The Fiona (from Shrek) HP Pavilion commercial.

I can't remember what it's for, but people basically act as animals, running and hiding. It's very cute!

There are a few more, but they escape me at the moment.

Actually, my favorite commercial happens to be a hilarious Honda Christmas commercial!
It starts with an America's-Funniest-Home-Video-like video, where this boy is going crazy opening his present alongside his tutu-wearing little sister. He is literally screaming at the opened present, and the sister is joining him.
But the part at the end where the siblings are shouting: "YES...YES...YES...!!!" following the "Remember when all your wishes came true?" voiceover left me in stiches for the rest of the thing!
Has anyone seen this commercial? IT IS FUNNY! :anime:

T-Mobile's "creepy daddy" commercial cracks me up. "It's almost like I'm watching you... all the time." (teen boy laughs then stops when he realizes the dad isn't laughing along with him) The moment when he hugs his daughter and stares menacingly at the boy was classic, as was his sinister "Have a good night..."

Yeah, that's a good one. Loving the creepy staring.

I also like the one where the girl is recapping various family members with her boyfriend, using pictures on her cell phone. It cracks me up when he calls her uncle (standing in the picture with his hands in his pockets) "The Change Jingler" because it reminds me of my dad. But it really gets me when her father, "the Ex-Cop," gives the guy a pat-down while welcoming him to the house and asking how traffic was, then saying, "Hey, everbody, look who's here!" as he shoves the guy's head down and walks him inside. :D

Also love the car commercial (forget which one) touting some kind of engine that only emits clean water vapor because of how it starts like a shoot-'em-up action movie, but with water pistols and water balloons in place of guns and grenades.

I like the new GameSpot ad where two video game-type characters are complaining about what they got for Christmas, and then a third one comes along and starts dancing around and singing happily about what he got, much to the annoyance of the others.

Selecting Parker as a spokesperson was just a weird move on the GAP's part to begin with unless they were trying to broaden their appeal to the MIL* demographic. Seems to me if you're over 21, you shouldn't be shopping at The GAP anymore.

I'd hardly call Parker a MIL*, but that's just me. But there is a Gap at our mall, and while I've only actually gone in just a couple times, I've seen a good variety of ages shopping there. It never seemed to me like it was a place more for under-21s than anybody else.

He's lost, can't follow the map he's on, and all the while you hear a reworded X-mas song playing in the background that give us an idea of what he's thinking as he's driving around.

It's a commercial for a TomTom like device, and I honestly can't remember the title of the song that was played.

But it makes me laugh every time!

I wasn't referring to Parker directly, simply the fact her base is more mature than the established GAP consumer. I can only guess they were trying to hook mothers into shopping w/ their daughters at the same store even though GAP merchandise is not age-appropriate for mothers (of teens+).

Like Jabberjaw and the late Rodney Dangerfield, this thread gets no respect. I personally love the Star Trek/Back To The Future/Scooby Doo DirecTV commericals. Especially with Mr. Shatner and Mr. Nimoy coming back once more as Kirk and Spock. For BTTF, Christopher Lloyd's appearance as Doc made my day. As for Scooby Doo, it was also great (for me, actually).

You just can't beat the Snickers commercial with the angry viking. His friend comes out of the gas station and tells him they didn't have any Snickers. He proceeds to throw the garbage can against a car, yelling "NOOOOOOO!" His friend then says that he got him a Snickers bar with dark chocolate instead. The viking grabs another trash can and throws it at the car. "YAAAAAAAAY!"

Cracks me up every time. :D

It's such an odd commercial, but I just about died laughing the first time I saw it. Still cracks me up, too.

I also like the newer one where the guy says to sound the horn because the feast is about to begin. The viking blows triumphantly on the horn, then accidently knocks the Snickers from the guy's hand. They look at it lying on the ground, and the guy says "The feast... is ruined," and the Viking gives just a weak wimper on the horn. So funny.

I like the new Geico one with the Gecko's returning, talking to a jelly fish in an aquarium. "It's hard to talk to you because I don't know where your mouth is. Is that your mouth? No... that's your belly button, isn't it?" Haha!!

My single all-time favorite ads will always be:

- Geico's "Tiny House" and its spot-on parody of the horrible reality shows that Fox keeps turning out - they even hired Fox's announcer, and

- the eTrade ad just after the dot-com bust that parodied the "Crying Indian" PSA. Especially since I got really, really sick of the Pets.Com puppet. Highlighted what a huge storm of stupidity that was weathered.

The Skittles Midas-touch ad is getting up there, though.

I've also got to confess to liking the new Geico ads with the gecko; his accent isn't as overly posh or forced, and I like the attempts at conversation as sale. I wish real-world salesmen would try that.

As much as I don't like Dairy Queen, they have some funny commercials.

Now there's a new one where the dad comes home and his daughter has set up a DQ in the living room. I love the end when he goes back to see her and there's a "Closed" sign over the window. (And I don't think I've seen it on TV yet, but this one's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kxP7MOKGh4&NR=1) funny, too.)

Ford F150: Cool stuff, with the narration (by Denis Leary) appearing on the screen. Too bad that campaign has, I think, ended.

Past favorites:

Domino's Pizza: Martha Quinn anxiously awaits her pizza while the Human Beinz' "Nobody But Me" plays. When this premiered during a football game, this actually woke me up, as I was dozing on the sofa. I think Martha had just returned or was about to return to MTV around the time of this ad.

And where's "Messin' with Sasquatch?" I miss those spots. :(

I always liked the ads they had when Punch-Out! was coming out. Life action Mac and Doc Louis were a neat concept, and I also liked the angle they went with it. Little Mac seeking a chance to become champ.

As for recent ad, I do like the Legend of Starfy ad, makes me want to pick that game up.

I forget which ones, but it's a commercial for new trash bags. It's the one with the mom just standing there holding the full bag. Her reactions and the way she says "Take out the trash..." is so funny. XD Plus, it has awesome music. It's comes on a lot on Nick at Nite.

I am completely enamored by Flo, the Progressive Auto Insurance spokeswoman. Her real name is Stephanie Courtney, but the character she plays in those ads slays me. I love all of those commercials, especially the newest one, where she gives that guy with the price gun a fist pound and makes an "explosion" sound. She's priceless!

"Power to the people!"
I can't stand Flo and I can't understand people who like Flo. I REALLY can't comprehend people who like Flo AND hate Erin Esurance. Erin is pure awesome; do you really prefer a creepy soccer mom thing over a svelte action star?

07-15-2009, 10:21 PM

^LOL!!! Yeah, I personally can't stand Flo either. She grates on my nerves! If a saleswoman like her approached me, I'd promptly hightail it out of the store and try to come back later when somebody else was working. Everytime I hear that "door chime" that signals the start of each commercial, I have to grab my remote to either mute the TV or change the channel. :mad:

07-16-2009, 12:08 AM

I remember the first commercial Flo was in - kinda cute, not the worst I've ever seen, but nothing remarkable. Then I saw the second one, and I noticed - wait, now she has a nametag. Are they making this into a mascot? Wait, is she pointing out her nametag? Good God? Is this the best they can do? Get a talking car or something!

On another note, I've always loved the Hotels ad where the guy gets free shampoo. "It's working. It's WORKING. They GOT ME! IT'S WORKING!"

Hi-larious.

Michael24

07-16-2009, 12:13 AM

I can't remember, but I think it's for Motel 6? A guy is taking his trash out when the hotel sign lights up overhead and begins talking to him. The final line, "I got free Wi-Fi!" just always makes me laugh. For some reason, I keep wishing Samuel L. Jackson had been the voice of the sign. :D

Also love the Minute Maid ad where the lady says to the man, "I think you're the father of one of my kids," and he thinks she was a one-night stand from Spring Break before realizing she's his kid's teacher. Haha!!

ARGH!!! Flo just appeared on TV as I was typing!! I swear, she just won't go away!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

I generally find those ads for the new search engine Bing to be a tad annoying, but I do kind of like the one where the girl asks her dad if he got her a cell phone before the inevitable weirdness ensues. The girl's mom with the Yooper accent and the crazy eyes manages to be both funny and creepy at the same time.

How can you like those ads? They're basically saying that anyone who is intelligent or cultured is bad. The first ad I remember seeing was the ad where he chastised someone for eating ostrich burgers. I mean, so what if the guy likes eating ostrich burgers?

I really don't like Flo.

That's cool. Hey, more Flo for me.

I actually really dig Erin Esurance, too, but I'd like those commercials a lot more if they weren't quite so cheap-looking. An Esurance ad animated as well as, say, the opening credits of G.I. Joe: The Movie would be awesome. I don't find Stephanie Courtney creepy at all. I think she's very pretty, and she has the kind of sense of humor that's really rare in women, which is very attractive to me. Nothing's sexier than a woman who can make me laugh, and that's a pretty short list. It's pretty much just Stephanie Courtney, Aisha Tyler, Kristen Schaal, Maria Bamford, and Tina Fey.

On an vaguely related note, as much as I love Flo, I'm actually NOT a Progressive customer. I'm an Allstate man. President Palmer gets my vote!

I just saw a commercial for the PS3 price change - some internet geek asks the Sony spokesperson if the price change is real. It's a pretty inventive way to inform the masses, since that IS a pretty accurate representation - despite being surrounded by things with "$299" and such - simply declines to comment. One line in particular I found hilarious - "You can't believe everything you read on the internet, my friend. That's how World War I was started." :p

MUCH better than their original PS3 commercials which still kinda haunt my nightmares. Must of have gotten a new marketing team... congrats for them.

I love the Charlie Daniels ones, but haven't seen the "Too Tall" one. But the Elmer Fudd and Waltons ones I find annoying.

I normally hate the Pizza Whisperer, but I like the new ad where he visits a generic pizza shop with a pretty assistant, and when the cashier gives her a wink and asks, "What's up?" she displays her wedding ring and the Pizza Whisperer goes, "Oooh, swing and a miss." I can actually leave the TV unmuted when that one comes on.

Also like the new AT&T vs Verizon one where a family is gathered to watch a football game. One guy sits down to check some scores on his phone, and his coverage map blocks the TV. Another guy goes to check his, but he has the service with less coverage, so his map is all spotty. When he asks if his map is in the way, somebody says, "Nah, you're good." It's really just the look on the guy's face as he glances up at his map, as if he's embarrassed by his lack of coverage, that makes me laugh.

I like the Mini Wheat ads with the little talking Mini Wheat, especially the one where two of them are helping a kid prepare for a test by dressing up as different historical figures. I don't know, I just find those little characters cute.

And finally, the Sears Optical ads are funny and I hope they keep them up.

The Andres Cantor Geico ad is in the top 3 of "Can switching to Geico" campaign, the other two being the Charlie Daniels one and the Lee Ermey one. In fact, Lee is doing the new radio spots for Geico, which are enjoyable.

ESPN also has really good ads. My favorites are:

It's not crazy, it's sports - Haulers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcgeoMOsMDA)..in which the hauler drivers for Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski race towards the next track.

ESPN 3D's Jesse Palmer ads, in which the former NFL player-turned-"Bachelor"-turned-ESPN college football analyst gets called fat because the 3D cameras add more pounds.

I've been enjoying State Farm's "Why Agent?" ads, where saying/singing the State Farm jingle produces magical powers, like popping up sandwiches, potential boyfriend types, and State Farm agents. My favorite is the one with the hot tub at the end. The way the guy says "Can I get a hot tub?" reminds me of the James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub sketch on SNL.

I don't know how widespread Quiznos is, but their latest commercial is one of my favorites, probably out of the silliness. Cute kittens dressed as jesters advertising a value menu. :anime:

With the recent topic about Asterix then I mentionned at http://www.toonzone.net/forums/showthread.php?t=272353 I spotted those vintage commercials who was broadcasted in Quebec in the late 1980s-early 1990s when Obelix appeared in various commercials for Diet-Coke

Since there's a "Most hated commercial?" thread, let's talk about the ones we love. THE NEW HP7 TV SPOOOTS. ("We can't leave Hermione! We wouldn't last two days without her! Don't tell her I said that.")

I love that one Chef Boyardee commercial with the girl and her blanket. Once he says "Now who wants to snuggle?" I start cracking up. I would be sooo disturbed if my childhood blanket sounded like a 32 year old man.

Jimmy Kimmel is in the CoD one, I think his name is "proud noob". :p

The Call of Duty Black Ops commercial with all the notable poeple involved (the only people I know in the commercial are Kobe Bryant, and I'm guessing that was Sacha Baron Cohen at the end). It's just that cool.
As much as I dislike Bryant and Jimmy Kimmel, I do like the commercial just because it's cool. And I don't believe that's Cohen at the end, as the guy is much shorter and, to my eyes, doesn't look much like him anyway. (I actually thought this would be a commercial for the National Guard or something until Kobe and then Kimmel showed up.)

Geico's latest with the woodchucks is actually funny, which isn't usually the case with this particular series of commercials.

Aside from the Super Bowl (http://www.toonzone.net/forums/showthread.php?t=278239) there aren't many great car commercials, but I love the line from a recent Acura ad (with the voice of actor James Spader)...

"...If your winters are tougher than this, you don't need a new car. You need a new place to live."

Sometimes, I seem to live in one of those places, so I laugh every time. :D

Gerico's "Do...?" ads have been pretty spotty, but I must say I like the new one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzFLWYF5hQU).
That dog just looks so determined!

In Canada in the early 1980s, Midas muffler did some commercials with actor Lee Van Cleef and some others like Jon Phillip Law, Georges Kennedy and Jack Palence.

Regardless of what I (or anyone else) thought about the game itself, the Metroid: Other M U.S. TV commercial was a work of art. The succession of Samus' pivotal life events mixed with that haunting musical arrangement is too beautiful for words.

I like that Travelocity commercial where the guy tells his wife "You look like a beach angel." It's just stupid but funny.

I find the Hop-related ad for Burger King absolutely hilarious. It has the main character of the film rocking out while images of chicken nuggets and chicken tenders appear behind him.

Considering the film (from what I can tell) is basically bunnys vs. chickens, it's almost implying that they're promoting the deaths of their enemies.

Taco Bell's "Four Times the Steak", featuring Buddy Mignon! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEWeOhezlwM)

Say what you will about Taco Bell, but you can't take anything away from this ad. This... this is just great.

I hope this thread isn't too old to revive. After I mentionned one of the worst PSA (http://www.toonzone.net/forums/showthread.php?277343-Most-hated-commercial-%28Part-7%29&p=3938947#post3938947), here one of the best PSA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HZS8_oN60so

I wonder if we should do a separate thread about best and worst PSA?

The Honda ads with Patrick Warburton are the most tolerable car ads in years. If I were them I'd keep him on the payroll.

Especially the newest one, where he rips a giant bow off a car and trashes the snobby seasonal Lexus ads ("Unless you're a millionaire, you probably won't be buying anyone a car this Christmas.") There's this no-bull, Ron Swanson quality to them that makes them better than most campaigns I see.

I agree, I've been enjoying the Honda ads with Warburton.

One of the most recent Geico commercials with the gecko walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is funny. His "Fu-ged-aboutit, this is New Yok" always makes me laugh, and his little "pumped up" arm movements at the end as he continues walking to the beat of the music.

But so far my favorite holiday commercial is from Acura, where the lady hires Gordon Ramsay to prepare Christmas dinner for her family and he's yelling at the kitchen staff. The only thing that would have made it funnier is if it had been regular family members who were cooking with him. I just love Chef Ramsay.
