Love it/Hate it: Commercials

I hope it's not bad form to hijack my own thread lol but Hey Amy how is the bite on your hand??    Jules

The King is creepy, for sure!

I love/hate the new Science Diet commercials. They make me laugh. Hysterically. And other people look at me like I'm crazy.

I am putting in my two year old son's fave:  The Geico car ins. with the two smiling dogs: the Golden and the Beagle are both super cute and smiling away.  He stops dead in his tracks everytime to say 'Hi doggy-doggy' to the tv.  Jules

This is my all time favorite commercial ever. [linkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBX0Jfr62Kc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBX0Jfr62Kc[/link]  I go around saying "Maybe little pinch?" and pinching my husband all the time.  It cracks me up. 
 
[small voice and looking around furtively] I also kinda like the Outback guy.  He's such a dork, but I am mysteriously drawn to him.  Especially when he's talking about being a vegetarian that eats fish, and a little chicken, and maybe some beef.
 
I HATE with a loathing that cannot be described all Carl's Jr ads.  Burger King comes a very close second.
 

the King commercials are very strange...
my all-time favorite commercial is a McDonald's one:
do you remember:
"We are Nippersinkers and we're in luck.......we'll quack like a duck, quack quack, waddle waddle.."
It goes way back to the 80's...little scouts in yellow rain slickers...

My favorite commercial right now are the "I'm a PC and I'm a Mac" ads. Absolutely hilarious!!! (Course, I was a Mac trainer for over 15 years....if you've been there the life of the machines, these ads are hysterical.)

I'm mildly amused by the I Pinch Honda ad, though I've only seen it twice on TV. I really like the crab's way of saying "I peench."

My all-time FAVORITE ad is the Geico squirrel ad:

The deer one was great, too. I think it came first.

As far as the Outback Steak guy goes, I don't know. He looks like he needs a bath...

All fast food ads are horrible. Especially Burger King. I think they are using the Mr. Whipple Strategy, that is, get brand recognition by making you remember their stuff by annoying the bloody #%@$ out of you.

I hate hate hate Old Navy ads. The clothes on the models are ludicrous! TWO different color patterns of madras worn together?? No amount of dancing around makes that cool. All made in China by ten year old kids in sweatshops and guaranteed to fall apart within two months....

I love most of Animal Planets "Imagine That" commercials, but I especially love the one with the flying frog... every time I see it (which is a lot) I think, "What a GREAT commercial!"
 
I really hate the new KFC add where the girl says "You're such a side hog!" then snuffs like the bratty teenager she is [:@]. I think the BK commercials are just plain creepy, and the Mercury commercial for that GINORMOUS SUV that they are obviously marketing towards suburbia people rather than those that will use it in a purposeful manner; double [:@].

OMG!  Jen, I LOVE that Honda commercial.  I'm always saying "I peeeench".  It cracks me up!
 
BK is creepy.

the burger king guy is definitely creepy. i also hate the bk ads where the men have taken to the streets to proclaim that they want to gorge themselves on gigantic hamburgers.

the worst ads on right now are the hardee's ads. people chomping on food with their mouths open and licking cheese off of the burger wrappers... gross!

not exactly a tv ad, but i heard it on the radio yesterday. an ad for some new hotdogs at krystal. a woman's voice says "i love weiners!". not sure exactly what she says after that because it cracked me up everytime i heard it.

My fav has to be the Pet Co one with the little guy not letting go of his new toy so they have to scan him and the new toy.

The second fav has to be the Advantage, the flea's are gone. Love that lil pup.
 
I also love the Elephant dancing in the rain.

GEICO squirrels is good too.

I have really become leery of all the commercials that show their customers as really stupid. (This includes all fast food ads) I feel like if I do buy that product, then I am as dumb as my boss wants me to believe. lol   And what about all those predatory looking ads for instant money??  Just sign on the "X" and we want a pint of blood, the title to your house, and all the food you were going to feed your kids for the next month (We're not gonna tell you about the 750% interest rate) and *Poof!* Here is your payday loan for $100.  You see women and minorities in desperate need of a little money and the lenders are soooo benevalant.  Not!  Jules

Oh!  I almost forgot...how cool was the beer ad for Bud (shown on the big game) showing the young clydesdale trying to pull the big wagon in the harness and he is doing it and the other animals are watching and looking very pleased but it was his 'parents' behind the wagon really making it move.  I actually got all mooshy/teary whenever I saw it for the longest time!!   Jules

Oh I have a bunch. Here are is one that make me laugh.[linkhttp://http://www.k9advantix.com/Commercials.asp]http://http://www.k9advantix.com/Commercials.asp[/link]
 
One I can't stand:[linkhttp://v2.vidman.ca/video/aaah_bibliotheque.html]http://v2.vidman.ca/video/aaah_bibliotheque.html[/link]
 
 
I also like the OREO one with the kids dunking and the little boy has a sippy cup so he turns it over and trys to get a drop out.
 
Can't stand that darn BK King. And I'm getting tired of seeing Jared eating Subway.
 

my all time least favorite commercial would have to be the nail fungus commercial, where this gross little 'thing' pulls up the person's toe nail. i have resorted to changing the channel when this little gem comes on.[:'(][:@][:'(]

almost as nasty are the mucinex commercials with the flem wearing clothes. [:'(]

i dont necessarily mind being bombarded with ads for medicine, but lets make it a little less gross... some of us are trying to eat!

edit: i would also like to add that the watching commercial for the tide pen with the moronic blonde off of the regis show makes me feel dumber each time i see it. i think it is actually killing my brain cells.
