Love it/Hate it: Commercials

    • Gold Top Dog
    Probaby my favorite commercials are the Citibank Identity Theft ones........there are many others too. I like the clidesdale one, and the camping dogs (i think advantix). I like most commercials with animals.
     
    I hate the BK commercial and Quiznos had one that looked like singing rats (I had only eaten there once before I saw the commercial and I have not eaten there since)

    "DIGGER the dermatophyte"!
    One morning on the Today Show, they were talking about footwear fashion and Al Roker (the weatherman) randomly pipes up:
    "Hi, I'm Digger the Hermaphrodite!"  Notice.... WRONG WORD!
    [sm=rotfl.gif]
    He giggled and stumbled over his words while the rest of the hosts just kept talking like they never heard him.
    I CRACK UP now, anytime I think of ....

    wonder if that was a "freudian" slip? [:D]

    Heartburn, Neausea, Indegestion, Upset Stomach, Diarrhea!  Yay Pepto Bismol.

    Don't know why but those commercials are just so catchy!  BF had to take some the other night and I tried to convince him it wouldn't work unless he did the dance.  He didn't fall for it.[&o]

    One of my favorites is for a mattress. A couple is in the store looking at it, the man lays down on it and instantly falls asleep. The lady looks at the salesman and says, "So, how do you guys stay awake arouond here?" Then they flash to the breakroom, where one salesman is tap-dancing and waving one hand in the air as he is chugging scalding-hot coffee right out of the pot, another is eating coffee gounds out of the tin. I guess it's one you have to see.

    the mustang commercial that has been out for a while now is starting to make my ears bleed. not only that, i found out the other day that the "band" in the commercial are going to have a concert locally. i thought they were just actors or something.

    edit: speaking of car commercials ... what is up with those 2 losers on the dodge commercials that have a man crush on the guy with the dodge hemi pickup? SWEEEEEEET! i say PUUUUKE! [sm=smack.gif]

    Makes you wonder.  But you could tell he was trying not to laugh while he searched for the right word.
     
    As for that Pepto commercial, I was singing the song last night trying to remember if you could use it for heartburn...  Useful little jingle...

    But there ain't no bugs on me [:D]

    I love that commercial and that little pup ... and the GE one with the dancing elephant and the CitiBank identity theft.  I also like the Capitol One *What's in your wallet" with David Spade.

    I love that K-9 Advantix commercial too.

    The one I absolutely hate right now is the commercial for the Chevy Equinox where the lady compares it to a Lexus. Uhh... sorry but Chevy does not equal Lexus, not even close.

    I've never seen that Honda Element commercial with the little crab, but that's great. I just see commercials for the Fit, which are starting to get on my nerves.

    I love the David Spade Capitol One commercials too. I love the one with " I'm shaking in my bright yellow shirt" and then he goes running and screaming like a sissy.
     
    I love the K9 advantix and the Citi Bank identity theft too.
     
    I can't stand the Old Navy commercials and the BK king is awful. The one that really creeps me out is when the guy looks out his window and there is that stupid BK king... I keep thinking if that was me I'd be screaming like crazy!

    Trish, I am so glad someone else hates those Old Navy commercials, too!

    My boyfriend and I really enjoyed watching the Capitol One commercial that ran at Christmas, with the barbarian shoving the Christmas tree through the SUV back window. I don't know why that is so funny, but it just is.

    My all time favorite is the one where the guy is on the train, trying to make a call and he keeps having to yell his password out, "BIG BOY".  I forget but I think it's a credit card commerical.

    Best 2 commercials out there right now are the Nextel one with the 3 guys dancing in their office to the romantic strains of "Push It" and the eerily similar Avis one with the 3 office guys listening to the gangsta rap and singing along, getting jiggy wit' it!
     
    Worst ones....the man turning into a chicken from eating too much McD's.
     
    The King is COOL...you all are just jealous that your touch down celebration dances aren't as krunk!
