I saw a foreign one the other day for some little European car that made a rhino want to hump it. It was very disturbing to see a rhino hump a car.

That's Mug rootbeer, I liked the other one where the husband is looking at his shirt collar and says "Honey this isn't your lipstick." And says something about the wedding video.

Now that one is hilarious. That clod is so clueless. I love how he digs himself into a hole so unaware.

I love the Visa commercial with the Patriots fan playing football in the woods with trees. Hilarious.

The NFL newlywed game commercials are pretty good too.

To me that is cute and funny. Little kids make me laugh, just like the chewy commercials where all the little kids are telling their family secrets and it's like "Kids talk a lot... Chewy"

I'm with you.....I love both of these. My other favorite is Starbucks. A guy is walking down the street and a rock band is following him around singing new lyrics to 'Eye of the Tiger'. One of the lines is something like, "One day he hopes he will be.......supervisor." They all end up in an elevator at work, the guy gets out, a new guy gets in and they start singing for him, "Roy.....Roy, Roy Roy." I'm not explaining this very good, but trust me, it's hysterical. (This is why I don't tell jokes. )

I love:

All of the identity theft commercials.
The swiffer commercial - lady dusting friends house.

The Geico Insurance commercial when the gecko sings "Kung Foo Fighting".

Too Funny

Has anyone seen the commercial where the guy is trying to ship a package to "Cloud 9" or "Funkytown"? I think it is for UPS or FedEx. Anyway, I think it is kind of clever.

I have only seen this commercial once and didn't catch who the advertising was for, but it was a man sitting on a couch and he tries to swat a fly or some kind of bug with a rolled up paper and the bug comes back at him and beats him up. At the very end of the commercial the bug gives the guy a wedgie.

i forget what beer it is (maybe budwiser) where a guy and girl are making out on the couch. then he goes into the kitchen and dances with the beer in his hands then returns to the girl and beer sprays all over her

it's not suspose to be a funny commerical but it's for a drug for a certain male problem...one item on the list of side effects is "if it lasts more than 6 hours seek medical attention" it always makes me giggle.

I love the latest back-to-school commercial for Staples. You see this young girl all ticked off about shopping for school supplies. She finally looks at her "Dad" and says, "You said 'School's Out Forever'."

Then Alice Cooper corrects her and says, "No, the song says, 'School's Out For Summer'!"

We used to sing that song as we ran out of school for the last time for summer vaca. "School's out for summer. School's out forever. School's been blown to pieces. No more pencils. No more books. No more teachers dirty looks.

Ok, I was really young and probably didn't know all the words. It was a fun song on the last day of school. Back then, no one blew up schools.


*******************

Also, there was a Roy Roger's commercial several years ago that got yanked because cafeteria workers were protesting around the country.

"So we have to say goodbye for the summer..." and they show all the meals in the cafeteria and the sad cafeteria ladies.

Then you see all the great food you can get at Roy's. Boy, I miss that place. Most of them in Jersey have closed. *sigh*

Which is why this commercial bugs me. The song does say "school's out forever" Alice!
