Funniest commercial

Wheetsin · 01-18-2007, 11:00 AM

What's the funniest commercial you've seen? Or what do you think the funniest campaign currenty running is? What store/product/service do you think has the funniest commercials?

My parents are absolutely captivated with the Sonic commercials. You know, "Did your body tell you to wear that sweater?" They wait for the next installment like it's a soap. Actually, like it's the Taster's Choice campaign that ran in what... mid 80s? Remember that one?

I like the one running currently - can't remember what it's actually for - but the kid putting on the art show for his parents, who unveils the painting that he titled "mommy and daddy wrestling".

But in general I think IKEA has the best commercials.

Though some of the old Budweiser frog/lizard ones were pretty good.

What are yours?

I like the "Life comes at you fast" commercials by Nationwide Insurance.

I hear the next one they are putting out for the Super Bowl is one featuring K-Fed (Ex - Mr. Britney Spears) starring in his own rap video with a bunch of hotties running around to working in a fast food joint. lmao

I can't wait to see it.

We had a local seafood chain here that had ads were people wearing big fake crablegs danced around singing "We've got crab legs". Made me laugh everytime.

I know there is one running now I like, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is.

I like the one with the dog gargling. It is for a dogfood. So funny! I wish our Ethan knew how to gargle! LOL

I think those stupid ED commercials are funny. Not the prescription ones, but the ones where the guy has this massive grin on his face.

Do you mean the ones where it's set like a 50s style sitcom?

Man, I've not seen most of these. I need to watch more tv. :speechles

I used to love the Geico commercial where the lady falls in love w/the geico. And she was swinging him around. The commercial was so cute it was funny to me.

Since I have a DVR, I never really watch commercials anymore.

Wheetsin · 01-19-2007, 11:46 AM

Yep, same here. I don't watch that much tv period, and skip right through all the commercials. For the most part.

Do you find that you try to, or are annoyed that you can't, fast forward through live tv? Or rewind the radio? I HATE that. HARD adjustment to make. :)

skyeblu79 · 01-19-2007, 11:59 AM

Yup, when I go to other people's houses I forget and try to fastforward. I never watch reg tv. I start at least 15 or so minutes behind, except for the news.

I love the Accura commercial it is so funny! It starts with just hearing a sound of someone typing....then it opens on a coffee shop and everyone is at a table using their laptops etc., then it focuses on one guy, sitting at one of those tiny coffee house tables with a very old and big typewriter, typing, and everybody is staring at him, then the voiceover says, "Isn't it time for an Upgrade?

Cat804 · 01-20-2007, 04:18 PM

I forgot the one for Correlle plates with the models strutting down the runway. Then the announcer says ...."we greased the runway" and this skinny, model lands on her butt....cracks me up everytime. oh I am a wicked wicked girl!

I love the California cows, but I also like the commercial where the kids are dressed as Pilgrims and tell the truth about what happened between the Pilgrims and the Indians. The audience is appalled. I think it's hilarious. But my all time favorite commercial is the superbowl one about herding cats. I can't understand why people like those stupid frogs better than herding cats. I guess they just don't have my sophisticated sense of humor. LOL.

lisah25 · 01-25-2007, 10:26 AM

OMG - I love the herding cats one. Forgot about that.
