Favorite commercial of all time?

[Fixated]

I must say, while I usually like comedy, the Nike commercials last year (where the shots went from athlete to athlete) were brilliant.

[HEyHEY]

1. tricky but what comes to mind NOW

Is this one where a guy falls off a cliff and his dog is standing at the top. He start's yelling "Go boy go for help...good boy!" And the dog runs off...then comes back two seconds later holding a stick...he drops the stick on the guy (Obviously for the guy to throw for him)...pretty funny. Can't remember what it's for though.

2. Not one of them...

I hate all fucking commercials. :puke:

3. There was a commercial for SPrite a few years ago

and they did a "spoof" commercial for Sunny Delight---this mom is sitting around the kitchen with this can of juice with a sunshine on it...and the sunshine comes to life and starts talking about what a happy sunshine drink it is.

Mom and kids go crazy---they're running around the house and this sun is chasing them. THey're scared. The kids are crying. Mom falls down, is trampled by the sun as she screams "RUN KIDS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES".

It's pretty fugging funny.

There's another commercial for Juicy Fruit where these kids are at a party hitting a Pinata, and the Pinata goes crazy and starts attacking kids, trying to get the gum back---kids are freaking out, this Crazed Donkey Pinata growling....gets a pack of gum in his mouth and goes out the doggy-door, some girl holding onto his tail, which comes off as he makes a daring escape....

I guess I like commercials where people are scared by coming-to-life things :)

4. "I have good news. I saved money by switching to Geico."

All of them are good.

5. Beer commercials

Especially the early Miller Lite ads with a bunch of ex jocks and Rodney Dangerfield in them. There were a series of them. And a few years ago, Dennis Hopper did some "psycho referee" spots for NIKE that were good too.

6. One from the stone ages

Is anyone else old enough to remember, "Mama Mia! That's a spicy meatball?" It was dumped almost immediately due to its cultural insensitivity, but it was funny.

10. Alka Seltzer did great commercials

I remember the spicy meatball one, as well as the newlywed recipe book one and the "Try it, you'll like it" one. I can even think of a few more. Apparently vast portions of my brain are taken up with baby boomer pop culture trivia.

8. I do go way back and it was one with Great Dane and baby chicks.

I have had Great Danes and the whole family used to wait for this to turn up. Frankly I do not know what the ad was for.

9. I remember one where a jogger was out running alone

and people, first one at a time, then more and more, started joining up. It became a race. People were jumping out of cars, coming from behind houses. There were folks in running tights, and this guy was going nuts. He finally escapes into his house. I remember he had an Ithaca College sweatshirt on (I went to school on the other side of the hill - Cornell).

I don't remember what the ad was for. :shrug:

11. "No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's In" by Alka Seltzer.

The instrumental to it was so good it becamr a radio hit.This one's from way back in the Sixties.

[ET Awful]

12. There's been a few . . .

The AFLAC commercials were fantastic when they first started with the duck doing the AFLAC instead of QUACK sounds, that was some funny stuff.

I forget what company it was for, but there was one a few years back during the superbowl for a telecom company that was comparing routing information to cat herding, and the CGI stuff of them herding cats across a river, that wsa hilarious :)

13. A brand new one springs to mind.

This woman walks out of her bedroom into the kitchen, husband calls her back to the bedroom, for obvious reasons, woman starts the coffee-maker and returns to the bedroom. One minute later, she returns from the bedroom and her coffee is ready.

The ad is for a super-fast coffee maker.

14. There was one from the mid '80's, that was some sort of..........

fashion show in the Soviet Union. The robust women on the cat walk wore the same grey outfit over and over again while an announcer called out "Evening Wear", "Swim Wear" etc.

I thought that was pretty funny, though a bit propagandish.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

17. That was for Wendy's

They still show it on TVLand.
Very funny.

[rock]

15. Way back (maybe early 70's)

A woman holds up a bottle of coke and says, "Coke."

[Shrek]

16. "When I grow up, I want to file, ALL DAY."

"I want to claw my way up to MIDDLE MANAGEMENT."

And a bunch more than I can't remember. Hilarious stuff from one of the first Monster dot com ads.
