Love it/Hate it: Commercials

I also like the one where the girl makes everyone do everything she says. play the paino with your face, you bob for fish, and you ride the pony.

i like the one better where the people are on a bus and the guy starts out by making this huge black guy and a little old man fight. i wish i could do stuff like that! it would be like on demand UFC.

I loved the commerical where the lady is folding the pants and then she puts them on her head then she says does the pants go on my head, do they go on my head?? It cracks me up.

Then there is the trunk monkey where the monkey comes out of the trunk and hits a guy over the head with a wrench.

I also kind of enjoyed the one where the kid is alone and is talking to his sock as trying to make it a friend.

what in the world are they advertising? mental illnesses or their cures? []

LMAO  Gina - I can remember the first TV commercial for a *feminine product*- it was for Modess pads. All they did was show the name and you'd hear a voice saying "Modess, because ..." and if we had a boy over and that commercial came on, we'd all just about die from embarassment.[]  Have times changed or what???

[font="trebuchet ms"]I often wonder if people approach those actors later and say "HEY...you're the girl with Herpes!" or "Hey, Erectile Disfunction dude right?"

Probably!  Mike Ditka was entirely too well-known already to have done the ED commercial.

Joyce, I remember those commercials and I would die of embarrassment if my brother was in the room.  I remember my mom telling us to watch for commercials about maxi pads and we thought they were coffee filters (we were somewhere between 7 - 10).
 
Heck, I still get embarrassed watching kissing scenes in movies!

I always laugh at the bank commercial where the guy is on the train and has to repeat his name -  BIG BOY; then his cats name - FLUFFY ... then he loses the call.  That would be me ... LOL.
 
I seriously cannot stand the burger king commercials.

I don't have cable, and half the stores they advertise on the network channels don't exist in Fairbanks, or even in Alaska.

I've never seen the "trunk monkey" ad, nor the kid talking to the sock (though this has potential), lady with pants on head, or any commercial where someone apparently makes other people do things. So I'm totally clueless about about those and have no idea what they are even advertising.

We don't have, but have to watch commercials for: Farmer's Insurance, Kohl's, Target, Applebee's, Fridays, Wendy's (we had them, they went out of business and rightly so, they were horrible up here), Petsmart and a score of others.

I'm glad we don't have all that crap, though I do wish Farmer's would insure up here. The others can just whistle Dixie. But I wish I didn't have to watch their stupid commercials!

Rollin around laffin @ Billy's posts omg my sides hurt and rwbeagles ur right up there...[sm=rotfl.gif][sm=clapping%20hands%20smiley.gif]
I wonder why dudes have to have commercials about getting a prostate exam??  The won't broach the subject in an exam room with a guy who is happily snapping on latex gloves who is about to 'look up his name and address' as my father calls that type exam but they would stand on a street corner with a giant sign posting all sorts of 'rear-end' questions.  Sheesh!  Makes me so glad that I can rely on Masingil sp? and Kotex and Valtrex if I am ever careless.
I loved those "Make 7  up yours" commercials!!  Jules

OMG....I almost forgot my TOTALLY most favorite!...The "Rubberband...Maaaan" commercials for office depot or max or whatever. The black guy with the big 'fro that pushes the mailcart...OMG...I about died when I saw he was on My Name Is Earl! it's GREAT! "Crabman!"...
 
The commercials where he's taking the fun stuff away from the kids and replacing it with school supplies at the end of summer vacation....and when he lost his rubberband ball [sm=rofl.gif]

Not one jot worse than those endless commercials about how apparently half the male populations PENISES don't work properly so they need this pill or that one...lmao! THOSE are far worse and far less subtle.

[sm=rofl.gif]

Yeah.  I forgot about those dandies.  I crack up where they say, "If you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention."  Now I am damned near 50 years old, so perhaps my perspective is a bit clouded, but to me, that would be bragging rights, not a medical emergency.  []

I fiugre we'd see this guy on the evening news!!! "Man with four hour H**d O*.  Film at 11!" ROFLLLLL

I also despise the BK ads and loooooove the identity theft ones!

Anyone seen.... "You bet your Aspercream!"
 
before they quickly changed it to "You bet if it's Aspercream!"

Jen I was cracking up at that "pinch" commercial!!!!!!! LOL

This on was a long time ago but DH and I cracked up when we saw it
 
A lady walks into her friends house and immediately her purse flies off of her arm and sticks to the TV and then looks at her friend confused and her friend says, oh thats my TV, it sucks.  I guess you had to see it but it was toooo funny!  It was for a tv. 
 
Also, love to see those toilet paper ones with the little puppy... anything with animals is usually great.
 
Oh yeah, and I got a kick out of the Orbit (gum) commercial where theyre playing golf and a big chunk of mud hits the guy right in the mouth! ahhahahha! 

Well, since we're already in the gutter (and swimming towards the drain) I can say the most (what's the word...) interesting commercial that I've found.

I LOVE the priceless commercials from mastercard (see my signature) there was one in particular that I liked a couple of years ago about a doggie that got separated from his family. I can't remember the breed, or if he finally found his way home.
I also like the (I don't know what credit card company it's for) but it's the one with the "Fifteen years" with the young couple getting married, having kids, taking their kids to disney world, etc.
 
There's one viagra commerical where they show a guy from the waist up BEAMING. Everybody (his coworkers) asks him if he got a new haircut, new outfit, a raise, etc. That's all I'm going to say and leave it at there.
 
I HATE (gina might know what I'm talking about) the Kiwi Carpet cleaning ads. Stupid people on a tight budget. There's always a girl with green hair. Just their antics drive me crazy.
 
 

Every time I see one of those Viagra or Cialis commercials and hear the *if you have an erection lasting more than 4 hrs. seek immediate medical attention* bit, the picture that forms in my mind is of a guy yelling "No, no don't call the Dr. yet.  It's only been 3 hrs and 45 min.!!" [][]
