the only favorite commercial i can think of right now is the pizza commercial with people with oversized eyes, ears, nose, and mouth admiring their pizza. the comedic timing is great in that commercial.

least favorite commercial would be...almost all of the commercials being aired.

My favorite commercial is a radio commercial i hear every morning about getting a better job.

The guy is at worked and is constantly watching the clock hes like "COME ON COME ON COME ON LETS GO LETS GO"

"YES!! !! TIME TO GO!! ! YESS!! !!"

then his co-worker says "Man what are you talkin about we've only been here for 30 minutes"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

I've been thinking of starting a "Most Hated Advert" thread.

There are so few good adverts about, some mediocre ones, and then the bulk, almost, that incense me.

Viz. The shampoo advert that says "Removes up to 100% of dandruff flakes!". OK. So that means it's guaranteed not to remove more flakes that you started with? That doesn't make sense. Technically, I think it can actually ADD dandruff flakes to your head! It doesn't say anything to contradict that.

Different countries, different ads. I don't think we Brits get any of the ads you mentioned. However, I might get this wrong, but I recall a story about a tagline that went "Mother Murphy's Meatballs Don't Bounce". Apparently they were so nondescript that that was the best the ad agency could come up with.

What a classic. If it's Life Alert that you're talking about.



I really like the Geico caveman ones. The therapist one is very funny.

I'll have to go with "Where's The Beef?" commercial in promotion of the
Wendy's Fast Food chain.. That was funny. :lol:

2nd, the Nut & Honey cereal commercial, cause the man would ask, "What are you eating?" and the reply was,"Nut & Honey" wherein, it would seem the person was saying Nothing Honey..



That it's for me at the moment.

you mean that guy who talks about diabetes care and testing supplies?? "test your blood sugar and test it often and call liberty medical"

wondered what his name was, i liked some of the geico ones, as well as some of the ones that were for advertizing the dv2000t hp laptop

best was that commercial for the mighty mule gate opener, it starts off with a guy on a horse and buggy then comes to a gate, he pulls out a remote and clicks it, gate opens and announcer starts talking about the mighty mule opener and at very end when it says the name of product the guy on horse and buggy lip syncs the words mighty mule.

I like the GEICO commercials. (The movie announcer one is my favorite.) I also like the Capital One Banking commercial where the Vikings talk about how they invented banking. (The credit card ones aren't as fun.)
