In answer to the hate commercial thread, I had to add this one. I LOVE the "Happy Cows Come From California" commercials. Not just because it's true, but because they're just clever. You can vote for which cow you would like to be the next Happy Cow by following this link. (I voted for Kirsten. She's freezing and that howling is getting closer, I swear).

Love the Guinness commercials .... Brilliant!
Also the Eat more Chicken ones ...
Okay, although I do not particularly like the American beer (except Yuengling) the commercials a usually pretty good.
I love the "Happy Cows" commercials to especially the one with the meditating duck......oooooommmmmmm..... er I mean mooooooooo.
I kind of like this one ... but I am not sure why ... hmmm

This Village Inn commercial.....I laugh my weed puller off every single time I see it.

As a general rule... I love the ones during the superbowl
I don't watch much tv really and never watch sports outside of a special event like the Olympics, but I always record the superbowl so I can fast foward and watch the commercials.
My favs in recent years were: The Pepsi guy getting caught with a coke (or was it the other way?), Cat hearding (reminds me of being a teacher), the Bud Bowl (the first couple of years at least... started to suck after a few years of it), and the Bud Frogs (they are still hilarious)
*And of course... The Captain Morgan Spiced Rum commercials*
I have to throw in any and all of the "Real American Heroes/Real Men of Genius" commercials.
As a little bit of trivia they started as "Real American Heroes" and were changed to "Real Men of Genius" after 9/11.

I love the Peyton Manning commercial for MAsterCard where he is in various rival cities the Indy Colts play.
In the Elevator..The other guy says, "Manning, you're going down!"
Manning replies...."Yeah! 4th Floor! Going to get a message. I'm excited."
In the Hotel room where the bellman brings him an edible arrangement and says..."Don't choke on this."
Manning says..."Thanks! I'll cut it up into a fruit salad or something."
Then at the hotel in San Diego..Ther housekeeper is in the next room's outdoor deck where Manning says..."Good Morning!" The house keeper says..."Take a hike!"
Manning replies.."I think I will! The weather here is sweet!"
Peyton Manning is my guy!! The commercials he has made for MasterCard are priceless. I really love the one he made talking about being in shape or having to buy a bigger shirt. Very laid back and funny as all get out.
i love the new M&M's commercial where you see the red M&M running on the conver belt at the store only to come up against the toliet paper packages and he just glares then squats over the scanner it doesn't beep so he sits down and scoots across it then yellow says look we are on the guest list red says thats not the guest list thats the menu
I like the Capitol One commercials with the Vikings.

I like the Capitol One commercials with the Vikings.
Especially the newest one where they are making their own card. Classic!
I also still love the Snickers one where they are at the gas station and the Viking is throwing garbage cans.
I don't know if these are regional or not, but another set of commercials I love are the "Dex" commercials, it's a brand of phone book I guess you could say...it features a rather nerdy looking dude who is the book in human form...the newest one is a reminder to recycle your old Dex book when you get a new one. The new book is sitting on the desk in the office while outside on the recycle pile is the old Dex, wrapped up in string and singing "Oh Danny Boy" as the recycle truck drives up. Too funny.

My fave is the one about the horsewhipping-
Hand me a Snickers, Pilgrim, or I shall have you horsewhipped. (Whatever) Don't you take that tone with me, you rascal, or I shall have you horsewhipped. (Right) You're so totally headed for an HW... (a WHAT?) HORSEWHIPPING!
Don't forget the one where Robin Hood steals "the feast"...Funny!

Yes! I love this one too!
I also love the one for Verizon (T Mobile? some cell phone company) with the guy checking into the motel, and the motel manager tells him the room is a dead zone, but the guy has his network, so the old guy goes, "Towels are kinda scratchy!!"
And the McDonald's McCafe (the one with the dudes) is awesome too. "We don't have to call movies FILMS anymore" as he's taking off his turtleneck sweater. Fantastic. :)
i loved the Bridgestone commercial from the superbowl where you have Mr. & Mrs. potato head driving down the road and she's just a nagging away. and he hits a bump and her lips fall off and roll down the hill and then she puts on the angry eyes

I usually end up singing along with that one. Greensleeves rocks my world; I used to play it on piano really well. It was the piece my music teacher used to decide whether or not to give up on me.
He chose not to give up, in case you were wondering, lol.
I love the Yellow Pages one where they use the Pomeranian as a broom. It makes me giggle because I have a Pom and he'd totally let me do that to him. Not like I would do it, but he'd let me.
WHAP! "Now that's thinking with your dipstick, Jimmy!"
The Bud Lite "Magic Fridge" ad and a Snickers ad from the late 90's featuring a guy waiting in line in Heaven.
ohh great thread.
I love the California Cows commercials.
I also really like the "free credit report.com" commercials with the band. Especially cause now they have one where they are at faire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiWaKGQaOH8
and their songs are super catchy.
Hehehe I like the new M&M commercial at the grocery store check out too hehehe
Here's a link to a Jim Beam Competition Commercial with our very own Demetrius and Holier Than Thou in the background, with Pirate Zoe's arm and garb showing in the beginning.
Shakespeare was on the olde forum.......not sure if he's on the new forum. He was also William Shakespeare at the Colorado Ren Faire (CoRF).

Love that one too! Taken from the Warner Bros. cartoon where Daffy Duck was trying to be Robin Hood... "YOIST and awaaaaaayyyy..."
I also like the ETrade baby in the club house at the golf course, where he's raggin' on his opponent for not paying up on "the skins beat down (he) just gave him". The opponent whines "You moved your ball!!!", to which the baby says "It was on the cartpath shank-a-pottamus!".
I LOVED that! Scotland gets MY Vote! Wow!

How about love the MUSIC from a commercial? The new Time-warner Turbo boost has got the catchiest tune, kind of a hip-hop piano. No one seems to know the title. I want it for a ring tone... Can't even get a hold of anyone at TW who knows anything.

I am so there with you on this big time Scotsman. I'm not a beer guy myself. But Yuengling is a superior American brew.
mine are the Mountain Dew:abe lincoln http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX-yxkPQT60 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX-yxkPQT60) and the spongebob: Burkerking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5X4TSbGreA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5X4TSbGreA) along with the hulu ones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CMWkesiVD4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CMWkesiVD4)

I am SO glad that Kirsten gets to go to Cowlifornia!
OMG! I saw one today.......the one where the baby is behind a computer, something about stock market trades. Anyway, he is with someone who is scratching off lottery tickets and then at the end the baby goes...let me make my surprise face.... :o..because the guy lost on the ticket.
I laughed so hard.... Hope you get to see it...and YEA Kirsten!!!
All the Jack in the Box commercials. The two two that seem to be running now are the one with the exec wearing a Robin Hood outfit and the other commercial is the one with the bowl-cuts.
...a powerful and elegant commercial... (about seatbelts)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-8PBx7isoM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-8PBx7isoM)
Two that I love from the batch from the Super Bowl -
Snickers Flag Football with Betty White and Abe Vigoda -
And Doritos with the doggie putting the shock collar on the jerk who tried to trick him into barking! Suh-weet Doggie Revenge!!! ;D
ohhhh i soo nearly forgot the nascar commercial it was last year sometime but it showed this guy and he starts handing people remote controls to the nascars and he says you've always wanted a chance to drive a nascar now we are giving you that chance you see one guy take his hands off and wheel and look at it like what the hay day. Tony Stewart jumps out of his car and runs away I rolled when i saw it i think they were chasing him with the car on the infield too rofl
OMG the seatbelt commercial gave me chills!!!

One that makes me kind of snicker is a current dairy queen one where the kids are fighting in the back seat about who is being closer to a "blizzard truck". The father turns around and says their mother is "clearly" closest and then they show her on the hood of the car screaming at him to put even less space between her and the truck. :D Dumb, but it made ME laugh....
(Dont know if someone put this on here already, I admit to not going through the entire thread. :-[ )
I saw the GEICO ad with Abe Lincoln, tonight. Mary asked if the dress she had on made her look big. Well he stood there looking so perplexed and finally said yes..lmao!
Poor Abe......lol!
There are several I'm enjoying now
- the NASCAR haulers talking smack while fueling up, then racing down the highway to the theme from Smokey and the Bandit.
- the GEICO commercial where the guy asks "Is it a bad idea to have a retired drill seargeant as a therapist?" (Priceless!)
- and the Kia commercial with the Hip-Hop Hamsters! AWESOME! :D
I LOVE the Kia commercial!! ;D (Though that phrase gets stuck in my head!!!)

I always get a kick out of the Dos Equis Beer commericals, "the most interesting man in the world".
They are silly, absurd, ridiculous, etc.............but funny. Here's a few of the lines:
"He is the life of parties he has never attended"
"If he were to punch you in the face, you'd have to fight off the urge to thank him."
"Sharks Have a week dedicated to him."
If he were to mail a letter without postage, it would still get there.
His personality is so magnetic, he is unable to carry credit cards.
He speeks fluent French, in Russian
Alien abductors have asked him, to probe them
If he we're to give you directions... You would never get lost. And you'd arive at least 5 minutes early.
He once had an akward moment, just to see how it feels
He's a lover... Not a fighter, but he's also a fighter, so Don't get any ideas.
:D :D Lots of stuff on youtube also.
This is the new "wear your seatbelt" ad running in the UK.
It was started by someone who wasn't hired to do it!
The commercial was created because the cause is important to him!
He came up with this idea now being hailed across the world as a wonderfully beautiful and creative commercial.

I bawled the first time i saw that commercial.
I'm a random windstorm!
