Commercials I love

Oh, it is me and my mom! Only whereas she says "get off the computer now," I reply gaily "Yeah, w/e. Brb."

I don't know if it's national, but there's this new gas station thingy, Beyond Petrolium. They have the corniest commercials with cartoon toddlers driving cars, with this really happy music in the background. I hate it so much, but I have to dance when it comes on.

See, I can't stand that cell phone commercial. So I posted it in the other thread. And I was getting ready to post that BP one, too in the other thread because it's so irritating. One ad that I hate but I have to laugh every time it comes on is for the new Honda Civic (or something) with 2 college students in front of their respective new cars bragging over how good it is. I laugh because when in this lifetime are college students going to have enough money to pay for a new car unless their parents are paying for it for them? They're students. They can barely afford meals never mind new cars.

I love the Sour Patch Kids one where the girl wakes up and notices one pigtail has been cut off, and then a Sour Patch Kid shows up in the closet. She then pets him on the head and tells him it's okay. It goes with the motto "First they're sour, then they're sweet.

One of my favorites is for Montana's smokehouse restaurant. They have a moose head and a deer head mounted on one wall. They talk to each other and try to guess what the customers will order. So the deer guesses correctly and asks what they were playing for and the moose says "a buck"... Then the deer says, "you're a funny mooose"! The last line just gets me

Either I don't watch enough t.v. or I'm living in the wrong area - I haven't seen many of these commercials. No rabbit's foot, no sour patch and I have no idea what a Hillshire salad is. Hillshire makes sausage, no? That doesn't sound too appetizing.

This is actually a salad with chopped chicken. No sausage. But yes they make sausage.

There's a commercial on the radio for the Taco Bell Crunch Wrap. The Crunch Wrap wants to test drive a car and the salesman is saying no way the whole point being that the Crunch Wrap is all wrapped up and "good to go" so the salesman finally gets it and says, "but you still can't drive the car" and the Crunch Wrap says, "why not?" the salesman says, "because you can't see over the wheel" just the way he says it cracks me up!

Kudos to Kraft for the mayo commercial where "Lynne" makes her "better half BLT". I know the woman who plays Lynne is a model, but still, it's nice (to me anyway) to see an older woman looking so beautiful - crows feet, wrinkles and all - in a genre (advertising) that worships the 18 - 35 demographic.

That reminds me of another commercial out there, I've only seen it a couple times, not even sure what it's for, Dove maybe? But it's got several not so skinny ladies in it, I think it's great!

Has anyone seen the Sprint ad that mimicks the ones for ED (like Cyalis, Viagra, etc.?) It's for "Connectile Dysfunction". It shows these business people in an airport all busily typing away on their laptops, but this one guy can't use his because he doesn't have the Sprint card so he suffers "connectile dysfunction".

As much as I detest the Cyalis and like ads, this one was priceless!

I have seen that ad. It's cute.
