Commercials you just absolutely love....
My all time favorite commercial right now are the new Sprite "Sublymonal" commericals. Whoever made those has one hell of an imagination.

Good artistry, I wouldn't mind seeing them again.

So what commercials do you absolutely love?

1. Sourpatch kids....
I think that the new sourpatch kids commercials are ingenious. But every time I bring these up no one else has seen them....

3. I love that one.
Edited on Sat Jun-10-06 11:00 PM by Kajsa
I still like the zebra teasing the lion behind a big glass
safety wall. He sticks out his tongue, makes crude noises, the whole nine yards.

I think this is a local ad, though.
Does it air in other parts of the country?
It's for the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park.
I like the WA Park because it provides lots of open
space for the animals to roam.

6. I like the adidas commercial that was on during the world cup games today.
There are two little boys in a dirty playground in some third world country choosing their dream football teams. It was great.
I also saw a good Liberty Mutual, I think, commercial where people were doing random acts of kindness for others that made me smile...

17. Disney World
The one with the mom checking on the kids in bed who say they can't sleep because they're so excited. Then when she goes back to bed her husband says the same thing.

23. It's a car commercial, but I forget which line of car.
Edited on Sun Jun-11-06 01:15 AM by bumblebee1
It starts with the vehicle and a crab on the beach. The crab goes up to the car and says, "Pinch, pinch?" The car doesn't answer. The crab says 'Pinch, pinch" several times after that. The car then says, "I have butter and tongs in the back." The crab crawls away saying, "No pinch, no pinch."

25. Starburst's Ernie the Klepto
Some guy walks up to another guy and says "Hey aren't you Ernie the Klepto?" and as the camera switches from one person to the other during their conversation the guys clothes and stuff start appearing on Ernie. In the end Ernie walks off with the guys clothes, his bike and his dog, and the guy doesn't ever realize what has happened.

36. Oh if we're doing adverts from other countries...
Makes no sense whatsoever. There isn't a pint of stout to be seen....

The Guinness advert where the guy is leaving for work and he runs back and kisses his boyfriend goodbye, What this has to do with beer I don't know. But it was a great ad.

Khash.

29. I don't know which Cell phone company, but the one in the locker
room where they are comparing cell phones, and the guy says,"Mine has a security system..." and then when asked, he throws it at the other guy... We laugh hysterically everytime it comes on.

And the beer commercial with the horses playing football. "Sometimes they go for two." :rofl:

32. A few...
Everyone is gonna hate me for this... but Smiling Bob. Always amuses me and I wanna see what he's smiling about.

The Jack in the Box ads are usually pretty good.

I used to love the old Infinity ads - there was no way you could figure out they were trying to sell you a car. Whoever came up with that campaign was both devious and brilliant.

Sad but true... the adverts for Footballer's Wives on BBC America. Throw naked men at me.....

Khash.

35. The Subway ads with Jon Lovitz
I love em'. Completely because of Jon Lovitz. The best thing Subway did was to jettison Jared as their spokesman.

41. I love those ads
But then I'm incredibly attracted to one of the cavemen. Not so much a commercial as porn...

OK, laugh if you want to.... I stand by my decision! He's hot!
