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 one for the cell phone network - I think it's Verizon - where the family is sitting around the table and Dad keeps sending the kids text messages. He obviously just learned this "trick". Finally, Mom holds out her hand and says, "Give it to me."

I would have to say my favorite commercial of all time. Was the Citi Identity Theft commercial..

The one with the 2 old ladys sitting on the couch talking about some mtorcycles... LOL.. Too funny.

Esp. when the 1 says "shoot" and the other says "yeah shoot"... LOL

I miss that one

We still get that one in AZ.. plus the other one with the black guy that sings "unbreak my heart" lmao those are funny.

So I've actually had some time to watch TV this week (business trip, late night in the hotel, no household responsiblities yay!) And I saw a few that were cute.

One was for some kind of beer, and the guy has a rubber floor installed to keep dropped beer bottles from breaking.

Another was a Sprint anti-theft device, where the guy hits the other guy in the head with his phone. Very funny.

I still love the commercial where the guy takes the VW out for a test drive and then is standing beside it in the parking lot Ooooo-ing and ahhhh-ing over it and he sees a couple walking towards him and the car with a saleman so he bends down and licks the handle...lol...I think most people would only find it super funny if you had a soft spot for VW's but it so reminded me of being a kid and touching certain cookies on the plate first kind of like you were claiming those for yourself because they now had your germs on them.

When we were kids and still drank pop out of bottles, my friend Larry used to rub the open top in his armpit before handing it over if any of us asked for a drink!

LOL....my water went down the wrong tube while I was reading that post...but can we say EWWWWW!

My favorite is the NFL foot ball commerical where there are these two women at a "white sale" (you know towels and crap) and one lady is bent over looking at a lower shelf and there is one standing lady fawning over some towels, takes one and snaps the bent over lady in the butt with it.

The voice over says sometime to the effect of "its football season again"

I also love the beer commerical with the rubber floor. When the cute little Jack Russell terrier goes bouncing out the front door, I nearly pee my pants. :omg:

What about commericals that you hate?

I cannot stand:

• Head On headache medicine commercials
  
• The car ad where the car falls all the way through the center of the earth and ends up in China.

I like the Nicoderm one where the flight attendant is trying to quit smoking (without Nicoderm) and she's losing it with all the passengers. I'll bet there's lots of flight attendants out there that feel like acting like that sometimes, even if they're not quitting smoking.

Head On headache medicine commercials

That one makes me want to shoot my TV.

My favorite commercial is one from that cell phone company that has the slogan "Can you hear me now?" (I can't remember the name of the company.) Anyway, it's the one where he's at the zoo and he walks by the monkey cage and says his line and they show a monkey with a banana to his ear and making noise as if to say "Can you hear me now? Good!" It cracks me up! :pound:
