Tell me about your favorite commercials

I personally like the true men of genius and Dos Equis commercials. I also like the e-trade commercials.

You go

bsidebella · August 2010

Flo, the Progressive girl. I adore her and her big teeth and red lipstick. I'm glad I'm a Progressive customer because I get Flo instead of that stupid gecko. The commercials are just so darn entertaining.

Oh, and the iPhone video chat commercial with the girl who won't show her braces until her dad sings to her. It makes me giggle.

Penny66 · August 2010

Google usually has some nice ones but they don't get that much air time. The one where they tell the story of the guy moving to paris, meeting the girl, and eventually proposing to her is really cute. I like the one for Toy Story 3 also where the toy search things like how much they are going for on ebay and then at the end they type in take your toys to college with you.

I do greatly enjoy the Real Men of Genius. They are the only commercials I will listen to.

I don't know if this one is local or nationwide, but I think it is advertising a vacation- but is the one where the one guy is running around the office and pulling around a guy on a chair who is holding onto a waterski rope and they are running into the office furniture. Something I could totally see happening at FI's work.

catemeg · August 2010

I love the Google one with the guy who visits Paris, falls in love, proposes, and ends with "assembling a baby crib" or something like that. Too cute!

I also love Super Bowl commercials - the Betty White one for Snickers was awesome!

Narwhal · August 2010

I like the phone one where it's at the inauguration and then rewinds through the kid's life and stops at the guy looking at the girl on the train and he changes his ticket real fast. That one's so creative.

Haha... this one would actually be my least favorite currently out! I just feel like it says very little about the product. Every time it's on, my boyfriend rolls his eyes and says sarcastically, "Subliminal marketing - if I buy your phone, will I really become President someday?"

Wrong. If you buy the phone your KID will become President.

Goldlie11 · August 2010

I DVR everything, so I don't really watch commercials anymore. The only one I can think of is this old school one...

bajediva · August 2010

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Huggies commercial for Jeans Diapers!! They make that baby seem so...so... suave!

deburnin · August 2010

All of the Sienna commercials are pretty funny. I love the Sienna swagger wagon commercial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql-N3F1FhW4

I also really liked the State Farm commercial were the guy straps a watermelon to his waist and keeps knocking things over.

LizzyTish88 · August 2010

I love the one's from "The man your man could smell like" the old spice ones haha.

And also the new toyota one with the family and the Dad's giggle at the end. Listen to right after the little boy says he wants the toyota, and the dad is like "HA!" cracks me up everytime!

AudgiePodge · August 2010

I love the recent Yahoo commercials where people are lip syncing to the songs. Especially the one where the white guy is doing the song Flashing Lights. Hilarious!

GreenPepperBurger · August 2010

I also love the Paris/Google commercial as well as the Dos Equis commerical - the most interesting man in the world...

hetshup · August 2010

My SIL thinks that they swagger wagon mom is me. I kinda am goofy like that.

I also enjoy the mayhem commercials.

dwest2201 · August 2010

Hmm... I'd have to say the sienna swagger wagon and the despicable me commercials are probably my favorites right now... but I know there are others that I crack up at and just can't think of right now.

catemeg · August 2010

This one I find absolutely hilarious, though I'd never buy the car:

leia1979 · August 2010

I've never seen Google commercials. Maybe I'm close enough to Google that they figure they don't need to advertise here.

I like the Dos Equis "most interesting man" commercials, but only on the radio. I want to leave what the guy looks like up to my imagination! I also like Flo from Progressive. She could make for a fun Halloween costume.

I also like the Kia hamsters, even though I think the car is ugly.

KD+BC · August 2010

I love the Old Spice ones!

[Deleted User] · August 2010

I love the old coffee commercials (Taster's Choice, I believe), that was an on-going love story between the neighbors.

About 8-10 years ago there was some car commercial out - it was a carpool and they were all holding coffee cups and kept going over bumps and the only thing they all kept saying was "dude" over and over again - loved that cause my brother's dog was named dude and he would go crazy whenever that commercial came on.

I also like the current one where the dad moves the little girl to the 1st row of seats where her brothers usually sit so they can have one-on-one time...too adorable.

oceana919 · August 2010

The Dos Equis commercials get me every freaking time:

http://www.themostinterestingmanintheworld.net/the-most-interesting-man-in-the-world-shark-week/

"Sharks have a week dedicated to him"

::dying of laughter::

The Old Spice Guy ones are pretty hilarious too:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE

This one is an old one, but it still makes me tear up every time I see it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTxT7feUlPg

The commercial for Captain Phil Harris' last episode of Deadliest Catch made me cry every freaking time it came on. That stupid song makes me cry now, because all I can hear when it comes on is Hillstrand going, "I was lucky enough to walk the earth with Phil Harris...that's a damned fact."

::tears coming::

ekathleen684 · August 2010

I love those Old Spice commercials. I also like the Coors Light one on a previous thread. It reminded me of FI before we were engaged.

Did anyone see the Old Spice proposal?

Oceana, that Anhueser Busch commercial is a tear jerker and it is a real shame that people don't actually do that for our troops when they come home!

jemmini6 · August 2010

ahh...i HATE the new kia commercial. i actually kind of like the car, but that commercial alone inspired me to never ever purchase a kia product. LOL.

I like the Dos Equis ones, but the radio ones are funnier than the TV ones.

I also like the new Allstate commercials. Especially the teenage driver one:

ekathleen684 · August 2010

I hate ASPCA and Pedigree commercials. As soon as I hear Willie Nelson or Sarah McLaughlin I change the channel immediately or I'll start crying.

I'm also tearing up right now thinking about them.

They do. I've seen it happen quite often in Savannah. We have Hunter Army Airfield/Air Force Base here, so soldiers are deploying and returning all the time, and people will actually gather to applaud them, coming and going.

My favorites are the Old Spice and Dos Equis, but we DVR most everything, so I don't watch many commercials. Some friends of ours actually have a cardboard stand-up of the Dos Equis guy, and we pose with him at parties.

That's awesome... glad to hear that. I saw some soldiers in the airport a few years back and no one (including me obviously) was clapping for them. After seeing this I thought we should have been and felt bad.
