Bumping this because a few new commercials have tickled my funny bone recently. [Chantix slow turkey.](https://youtu.be/1oVH1dRgHYY) [Geico walrus goalie.](https://youtu.be/hHijbIMsYuM) ---

I like the [K-9 Advantix commercial with dogs around the camp fire.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkcuYe9RH7s) It was was all I could do to restrain myself at the vet yesterday when I picked up my dog’s heartworm pills. As she explained that they’re good against fleas and ticks, I really wanted to ask “what about mosquitooooooooooooooos?” but fought the urge. ---

I can’t tell if I hate this or I think it’s genius because it has me singing their made up jingle. Also, it captures 80’s sitcoms perfectly. [Flo, the Progressive maid.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y46Pn7l0YBA) “She’s not the maid we wanted, but she’s the maid we got.” ---

As she explained that they’re good against fleas and ticks, I really wanted to ask “what about mosquitooooooooooooooos?” but fought the urge. 😃 I would have felt that too. The other day I saw one of my dogs running around with something he’d found in the yard, and had to say, [“Soresto, Soresto, Soresto!”](https://www.ispot.tv/ad/IraI/seresto-whatever-your-dog-brings-home) ---

Also, I spotted this great Snickers commercial on YouTube with the Clown Prince of Crime that apparently didn’t air in the U. S. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/GLLzto1jnAY/maxresdefault.jpg "Snickers® Joker English Extended Commercial Full HD,1080p") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLLzto1jnAY) “I’m not crazy, I’m just differently sane.

It’s more of a PSA than a commercial but I really like [GEICO’s smart dogs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gP4oeXWVbw). ---

GEICO has been knocking it out of the park for awhile. I will actually slow down the DVR to watch this one: “PIE!!” “Pie’s comin’!!!” Cracks me up every time. 😃 ---

But you’re right, Geico’s been making some great commercials lately. So has that insurance company (All-state?) with Dean Winters—protecting you from mayhem like me. ---

[“Machine Music”](https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Izkj/koch-industries-machine-music) for Koch Industries. Love this commercial, interesting that the song is “Union Maid.” Or maybe you would say the song is “Red Wing.” ---

I figure the place is known for its lemon meringue pie, so it’s understood that’s what you’re ordering when you ask for pie. But I can’t say I’ve ever given it a deep think. ---
