Odd. A number of commercials listed here are ones that I especially hate. I hate the Aflack ads. I hate the Beggin’ Strips ads. I hate the Mike’s Hard Lemonade ads.
OTOH, I, too, love the ads for the Quaker product that keeps little kids from saying embarrasing things, and the ones where someone gets something completely wrong due to cell phone static interfearing with a message. I particularly liked the one where the Captain and Tennille are performing in the middle of the football practice. And the one where the sitter has floured the kids.
Those are the Sprint/PCI wireless phone commercials: they’re pretty funny. The advertisement is that somebody calls and asks for one thing but the other person hears something funny, because of the static of their analog cellphone. [w/heavy Spanish accent]“I’m not soup, and I’m not from the store, but I must have you!” I like the look on the lady’s face. - DougC
I always thought this one was strange, since it was for a sleep aid and the first side effect they mention is…drowsiness. How is that a side effect for sleeping pills?
There used to be one which opened in an opulent dining room, with an elegant woman in a fancy evening gown. Classical music plays in the background. A man enters, wearing a tuxedo, and suavely leans on the edge of a table set magnificently for a romantic dinner…overbalancing it and dumping everything all over the floor. StainMaster Carpet. It’s so out of left field, it still cracks me up to this day.
I have a copy of a Canadien? commercial for canned salmon. A bear is shown slapping a salmon out of a river. Just then a guy runs down and starts punching the bear. The bear retaliates with karate moves including a spinning back kick. The guy points into the air and says “Look, an eagle”. The bear looks up, the guy kicks him in the nads, and then walks over and picks up the salmon. A voice over describes how fresh the canned salmon is while the bear dances around holding his family jewels.
