Hee hee. The one in my sig!
I remember one a while back. The mom has her kids ready to paint easter eggs. She leaves to get something for literally half a second. When she comes back all the kids (and the whole room) are covered with easter egg paint.
I have two.
When the guy is decked out in a Miami jersey and he’s in a bar. Miami scores and he goes crazy. Of course, he’s in New York, surrounded by Jet fans.
The Snickers ad when a football coach is talking to his players doing half-time. (Paraphrased) “So what we’re going to do is, get on the bus! Then we’re going to go home! And when we get home, we’re going to play video games!!”
Cracks me up every time.
That is my favorite commercial in the world! Every time it came on I would stop what I was doing to watch.
I also think the Mitsubishi ads are great. I love the Montero commercial with the T-Rex song, 20th Century Boy.

Does anyone know what the song is in the new Mistubishi Outlander commercial? I love it, but I can’t find out who the darn artist is.

The Coors Light commercial with Kid Rock (who I usually loathe) where he takes some regular dude out for a wild night. The limo deposits the guy back at his house the next morning hungover, messy, and disheveled. The guy’s wife is looking very pissed off. Kid Rock says, “What? You said early.”
The Progressive Car Insurance commercial with the Instant Voodoo.com software, wher the woman gets back at her guy messing around with the hot babe at the nightclub.
“Oh great. A talking geko.”
"It smells like bacon! There’s only one thing that smells like bacon, and that’s BACON! What’s in the box? I can’t READ!!!
I hate that squirrel commericial! What is their motivation for making cars crash? Along those same lines, some SUV company has an add where a man and a woman are driving in the forest somewhere and a turtle is in their way. He gets out to move it and a bear has tied a rope to it in order to lure the man to a sound thrashing. He gets back in the jeep all beat up from (we assume) the bear. Why would a bear do this? Moronic.
Me, I like the ads some cell phone company puts out. They’re quite short, but one has a guy on a ledge ready to jump to his doom, but a stock alert on his phone pulls him off the ledge. Another has a dude trying to rob a box office and his distinctive ring (anyone recognize the song? I can’t place it.) alerts the box office girl to his true identity. Sweet.
It’s Breathe by Telepopmusik.

If they ever decide to do this with a Packer fan surrounded by Bears fans, I volunteer to don my Brett Favre jersey (home or away, I have both!) and play the Packer Backer!
I also liked the one (I think it was an NFL ad) that cut back and forth between Eddie George of the Titans getting ready to play on Sunday and a Titans fan getting ready to watch the game on TV. Again, I would be more than happy to be in a similar, Packer-themed ad.
I like the Volkswagen commercial where the guy finds a car on the lot that he’s quite taken with but then sees some gal and a salesman coming out to take it for a test drive. In order to keep them away, he leans down and starts licking the car’s door handle. This causes the others to stop dead in their tracks and reconsider choosing that car for a drive.
Oh yeah, the Snickers Bar commercial for the guy that’s going to be there for awhile because he mis-painted the NFL endzone to read as the “Kansas City Chefs”.
Bwhaa!
I just saw that “Behold, the power of cheese” commercial that I like. It’s the Christmas one (ack, it’s only November 4th!) ,with the little girl getting her parents up to see all the things Santa has brought her…dolls, a huge train, just about every toy there is, even a real car, the living room is filled with stuff, and the dad says, “Those must have been some cookies!” and the little girl says, “I didn’t leave him cookies, I left him Cheeeeeese!”
The cheese ones are often pretty funny. There’s a radio commercial where the speaker’s asking a mother if she wants to participate in a market-research thing about cheese. She responds, “Sure! We eat cheese all the time! Muenster, cheddar, havarti…just about every cheese there is!” The guy says, “Well…you were going to be one of the families without cheese.” She says, “Without cheese?!” He mumbles, “It would only be for a couple months…” Her little girl starts crying, “Mommy! Make him stop!” Behold…the power of cheese.
There was a very funny commercial here in the Netherlands which had the following premise:
You see a very sexy woman lying down on a bear skin rug in front of a roaring fireplace. Her romantic interest takes an ice cube out of the champagne cooler and begins to pass the ice cube along her body, which seems to be getting her very excited. By the time he has reached her upper body he is practically on top of her. Then comes the kicker: as he puts the ice cube in her mouth he happens to touch her teeth, which causes her to give him a swift knee to the groin.
The product: Sensodyne toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
Chrysler had a brilliant ad for the Concorde, but had to pull it over protests from upset parents.
Mom is chatting with her 12-year-old daughter while driving. There is an infant in the back seat
DAUGHTER: Why am I named Savannah?
MOM: Because you were conceived in Savannah, Georgia.
DAUGHTER: Then why is my little sister named Concorde?
Cut to the word “Concorde” on the dash.
DAUGHTER: Ewwwwww.
Narrator describes the virtues of the Concorde, including a roomy back seat.
Then there’s the one for some ISP touting that it doesn’t sell email addresses. The setting is a bar. MAN is hitting on WOMAN, and asks for her phone number. WOMAN complies, writing it on a card. BARTENDER and PATRON both MAN for the number. MAN thinks for a moment, then says “Five bucks OK?” PATRON and BARTENDER both say sure, and as they get out their wallets the camera focuses on the clearly perplexed WOMAN.
I loved the Volkswagen commercial where the shopping cart comes hurtling towards the car, and some guy leaps out in front of it, tackling the cart off camera. The best part is hearing the guy whimper “I’m okay” at the end. I also liked the coelacanth ad, too.
Currently, I enjoy the goldfish ad and the mayonnaise one with the ignored male strippers in the background (although why those ladies don’t think of something more imaginative to do with the mayo they love so much is beyond me).
There’s another cute one for a car, but I can’t even remember which car it’s for.
There’s a woman driving, and suddenly from the back seat we hear a little girl, (who looks just like the driver and is dressed just like her), saying, “You know, there’s enough room back here for a pony. We did get a pony, didn’t we?”
She says something else, and you realize it’s the “inner child” of the driver. The driver looks at a handsome man on the corner, and the little girl says, “Why are you looking at him? We don’t like boys! Boys are icky!”
I’m not getting it quite right, but the commercial is really cute.
Another one of those “gonna be a while? Have a snickers” ads:
A referee is getting his eyes checked.
Ref: E… V… Seven…
Doc: There are only letters, sir.
Ref: S… 14…
Doc: Letters only.
Ref: B… a fish… a little squiggly thing…
Doc: Sir…
Can’t remember the products name but it has something to do with data back up.
The boss and his two underlings rushing to a big meeting. Guy #1 tells the boss he has all the information he needs for the meeting in his head. All of a sudden, BAM!. He hits his head into an open file cabinet door and is out cold. Next frame Boss walks into meeting and Guy #2 comes in and tells him not to worry because he too had all the information in his head. Guy #2 puts his hand on a piece of paper on the table and slips and hits his head on the table.
The look on the boss’ face is priceless.
The boss never says a word in the ad but he didn"t need to.
