There used to be a commercial for some allergy medication in which a Mr. Natural looking fellow was lying in a field. He gets up, disrobes and runs through the field to the sound of "The Air that I Breathe" while some elderly bird-watchers track his process through binoculars. It still makes me giggle when I hear "The Air that I Breathe".

I want to see the talking beavers. Qboots has mentioned them before.
And while I'm on the subject why, oh why, did my PBS station quit running the Red Green Show. Does it still air in Canada? My husband and I would split sides laughing at that show. A redneck is a redneck no matter what country they are from, eh? I swear that show could have taken place anywhere in the Southern US.
The commercials are for Bell Canada telephone company. The beavers are named Frank and Gordon and they have their own website! http://www.frankandgordon.ca/We're currently getting a series of commercials starring talking beavers.

Not only that, but you can vote and support "National Beaver Day!"Only in Canada, you say.....Pity!
I have to laugh when I see the new Becel Margarine commercial.
Two executive types are standing on an escalator going up in what looks to be an office building. It has stopped moving. They both stand there. In shock. In fear. Then the woman screams "Help us". It's as if they're stuck in an elevator, and can't do anything. Yet they just have to "walk" up.
And Bell Canada's Frank and Gordon beavers have several different commercials that are airing now. Too cute!
I didn't read back past this last page so hope nobody already mentioned this one...but, I love the, I think its a cell phone, or wireless company ad where there are 3 guys in an office, one holding the cd player playing, "hey baby baby, baby, baby" and the other two guys are dancing. A fourth guy runs in all freaked out - the music gets turned off and the dancing guys get on their phones, find out the information needed and then resume dancing! I'm sure I didn't explain that well but - trust me, its funny!
I know that one, I think it's Nextel. My BIL's have those phones and they are always walkie-talking each other. It drives me crazy.
One of my new favorites is a credit card commercial (Citibank I think) where a guy is trying to get through to a real person and he starts out on his cell phone in his house and then to the train. The automated system says "state your password" and quietly he says "big boy" and it says "I'm sorry repeat your password" and he has to say "big boy" real loud. It is so funny! Then just as he gets a real person the train goes through a tunnel and he loses his connection. I love it!
I hate the Jessica Simpson pizza bites commercial but I love the end where Miss Piggy kicks Kermit!
I also love the old corn flakes commercial where the rooster is dancing to the song "love machine"
