What is your favorite commercial?

ranchera20 · Marc Jacobs

My favorite is when Manu Ginobili (San Antonio Spurs player) is in his house giving a commercial about how his house has everything thats Time Warner! He's just soooo hot!!!!!

I cant think of any other ones but if I do I'll come back and edit!!!!

this is where my dorkiness comes out. my favorite commercial isn't current- it's from Walter Mondale's presidential campaign. And it is AMAZING. I took a class taught by the man who consulted for the campaign and did all of the media- he showed it in class one night and we all sat there speechless. I was fighting back tears and so was the person next to me. As soon as I got home, I looked it up and watched it continuously for like an hour. And it still gets me every time.

I can't even begin to describe it, but you can see it at (edit: the link isn't working right- click on the one at the very bottom right side- the kids faces) http://livingroomcandidate.movingimage.us/election/index.php?nav_action=election&nav_subaction=overview&campaign_id=173

about the first 40 seconds or so of what it gives you- in the original ad, there was some more on the end and it aired as a 60 second spot.

i love the commercial where there are the two boys at the crash testing plant:

"crash the blue one bob..." cheers

"crash the tan"

"the color's called desert sand mica"

"whatever, just crash it" wows

chomping on an apple "now crash the eight seater"

"crash another one bob"

"there are no more cars to crash"

"what about yours bob?"

hehehe. i love it. i think the boys are cute, their voices are cute, the dialouge is cute...

sorry if i messed up any part of it, but you guys get the point! while it's probably not my favorite, i feel like i've seen it enough, and i still laugh everytime

The new Geico campaign is just too much. I love them all, especially Tiny House.

I love love love the commercial for A1, where this woman and guy are out to eat and he's just woofing down his steak and the woman is yelling at him.. saying "stop eating.. i am trying to talk to you.. i dont even know who you are!" It sounds like a husband and wife fight.. then her "real" husband comes over and kicks the random guy out of his seat.. The guy just wanted to eat his steak!

Starbucks with "Hank" - so great, I love the idea of having a mascot & him doing the worm cheering me on.

I love that one too! Everytime it comes on my husband says, "Uh oh, you're gonna get the giggles."

I also like the Mike's Hard Lemonade ones with the empty bottles hitting on girls. It is so rediculous, but that bottle is a really funny guy.

there was an older one to "ben" and it was to the tune of survivor. ben benbenben.

there is also a GE commercial where there is an elephant dancing in the rainforest. super cute.

I think his name is actually Glenn. I love the Starbucks commercials too! Geico ones are good too, and I also liked the old Snapple ones where the bottles were like the "actors".

Now don't kill me but I love the Fanta commercials. Everytime I see them I sing along and dance around the room. It's just so catchy! "Fanta, Fanta, don't you wanna, Fanta, Fanta, don't you wanna... You're so hot in all that plaster. You need Fanta, faster, faster!" ha! hilarious.

I also love this commercial that's for vodka or rum or something. I've only seen it on comedy central. It starts out with the two flies sitting on a bench. The old one tells the young one not to waste his life and then he keels over with a little groan. (hee!) The song "Born, born to be alive" is playing in the background and the young fly does all this crazy stuff and then he dies just as suddenly as the old one did in the beggining. OMG! I crack up for hours after seeing that commercial. And I walk around singing, "Born, born to be aliiiiive..." It's so funny.

OMG, me too! How can you not dance around like an idiot to those commercials? Now they have them playing in the movie theater too, and I can't help but wiggle my butt in my seat a little while it's on.

The Tiny House ad is hillarious, but some of my new favorites are for Nationwide Insurance. There's a kid who builds this cute little robot and the whole family is gathered around in this sweet moment where they're really proud of their kid for building the robot, then the robot starts shooting lasers out of its eyes and blowing everything up. It's pretty funny.

And there's the other Nationwide commercial with MC Hammer that KILLS me every time I see it! I love it!

Christine · Coach

I am cracking up over the Fanta one.....HA!

My favorite one is the Mentos commercial with all the little birds in it. It starts off with the baby birds chirping in the nest, waiting for their mom to give them a mento (mento sounds weird when it's not plural, huh?) And then all the different birds are singing along to this catchy little tune!

I hope you guys have seen this commercial, otherwise you'll have no idea what I'm on about

Ooh, I have another favorite. It's the detergent commercial for All, with all the little animated dust bunnies with cute little faces and other dirty things that dance around to a techno beat. Then the detergent comes and blasts them all away. I wish it wouldn't bc I really like the animated dirty spots, they are so cute!
