I like the one for chewing gum with the singing teeth - “THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!” They just sound so cute. ---

> [@akira5822](#): > > The Toyota commercial featuring the little boys in the crash test center. > “Just crash it Bob” Toyota’s are especially clever. Along the same lines I love their NASCAR ads: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHJc5BLd1BE&feature=PlayList&p=D283C25BAC9DD3C3&playnext=1&playnext\_from=PL&index=39](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHJc5BLd1BE&feature=PlayList&p=D283C25BAC9DD3C3&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=39) I love the part where the bot invades Brian Vickers’ RV.

The one I think it clever right now is the Travelocity one where people leap into getaway cars. Neat play on “getaway,” I think. I like the part where the girl is screaming at her dad to just get in. I don’t see the whole thing on YouTube. Rats. ---

> [@salinqmind](#): > > Time Warner cable commercials featuring an average joe; latest one involves a hideous, giant clown statue he bought but wants to take back because it doesn’t match the decor of the house/OR MIGHT JUST COME ALIVE AT NIGHT1 I liked the one where he was holding the tiny lab puppy; the subject of the ad was “satellite hates puppies” – if you spend more for satellite, you have less money for puppy kibble. 🙂 ---

> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > Liberty Mutual Insurance had a series of commercials a while ago in which a series of people see someone doing something helpful to perfect strangers and are inspired to be helpful to someone else in turn, with a very nice song whose lyrics I can’t recall this moment. I liked those. [7 different ads, actually, each featuring a different song by the band Hem](http://allabouthem.com/faq.htm#eleven2). Hem is pretty awesome. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > I think the ad is for Lowe’s flooring. There’s a couple sitting on the couch, and you hear a noise in the background. The man says “No skateboarding in the house.” Then a bulldog comes rolling up to the couch. Without looking up, the man says “Take it outside.” And the dog rolls away. I think it’s Armstrong flooring, and the dog is called Charlie. This was the one that I was going to mention. It just makes me smile. The dog is so cute! I also really dig the ads for Pepsi Throwback. They’re righteous and outta sight! 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/commercials-that-dont-repulse-you/495426.md?page=4)
