Commercials I love - Page 116

I like the new one they have out with the M&M's guy running on the conveyor belt at a store. Then the 2 M&M's are in the grocery bags and one says, "Look, we're on the guest list." and the other one goes, "That's the menu!"

I haven't seen that one yet but I'll be keeping my eyes open for it.

I adore that commercial with the home movie of Magic Johnson as a little boy where he talks about having to go out and earn money by pushing a lawn mower! His shorts and shoes crack me up!

And he just looks soooo dramatic and miserable pushing that lawn mower!! Too, too cute!!!

I know I should hate them, but the telephone co. guys... I think the ad is for Vios. But the red-headed guy with a red beard who works for the competing company just can't win! Talk about rooting for the underdog! In one, the Vios guy has won a big award for customer satisfaction and the redhead has Kung Pow chicken... a rare delicasy *snort*. and now he's in an elevator and pushes all the buttons and the Vios guy says he'll take the stairs. I'm sorry, but those crack me up. Just the chemistry between them. It's subtle, but funny.

I love the new Etrade commercial that aired during the superbowl. The one with the talking baby. Only in this one, he's got a friend and his friend starts singing "Broken Wing" by Sting. Too funny. You can actually go to the M&M website and view most of their commercials (including that conveyor belt one). The Fios one is Fios vs Cable. The thing that stinks is Fios is only available in certain areas. My husband and I just bundled our service with Comcast and we will be saving $100/month! That helps a great deal. But I do love some of those commercials.

I loved the Budweiser Clydesdale commercials that aired during the super bowl, especially the one where the horse fetches the tree branch..

I thought that one was really funny too. When I watched it I was thinking Broken Wings was by Tears for Fears, but it turns out we both remembered wrong. It was by Mr. Mister!

I went to look this commercial up on the eTrade website because my kids wanted to see it and they have a video in the list labeled "Baby Outtakes" that is hilarious!!

I like the new commercial for Chef-Boy-R-Dee (how the heck do you spell that?). The dad is trying to say how there is a serving of vegetables in every can, and the mother keeps slamming cabinets and hitting pots and pans to make noise so their kid won't hear him.
