That’s what happens to your pets when you feed them only lettuce.

That’s odd. That one always makes me want to vomit. It’s like eating scabs, or earwax, or worse - vomitous. :eek:

The vast majority of \*humorous \*commercials leave me high and dry. Quite a few Geico ads at least give me a chuckle or two. But, [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPX2cQP8uoI) gets a sincere laugh from me every time; it’s comedy gold and near perfection.

As long as we’re reviving older commercials:[Mistaken Identity.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FXBTnVJsZA)

And when you think about the backstory that led to this, it’s rather disturbing.

I kinda like the GEICO one where Boyz II Men are singing the woman’s side effects at the pharmacy. (“So gassy, girl!”)

Have any of you seen the Panda Cheese commercials (from Egypt)? They’re a bit of an internet hit.

There’s 2 here. The second one was a follow up to the first, and was probably a bit funnier and more terrifying.

A commercial for Spectrum Cable. It doesn’t have a title, so I call it “Evil on the Train”.

“I bring the orange slices. It’s what I do.”

That one is funny, yes.

I like the [Farmer’s Close Claws](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQcZZp19wVc) commercial. That gets me to wondering, would a big cat really follow a laser pointer?

[Some do, yes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3BHSt42L0Y). Most seem to not care.

Pretty much all of the Charles Barkley/Spike Lee/Samuel L Jackson commercials for Capital One. My wife and I pretty much lost it during the [turtle rat](https://www.google.com/search?q=turtle+rat&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1) commercial last night.
