[quote=“carrps, post:336, topic:749672”] This is my favorite Subaru dog ad now: [/QUOTE] I hadn’t seen that one yet, very well done! I never did the truck honk request as a kid but my boys sure did. ---

> [@Fugazi](#): > > This commercial was all right until [MLB.TV](http://MLB.TV) started showing it. [MLB.TV](http://MLB.TV) shows the same damn commercials after every half inning. After seeing the same commercial 18+ times a game, (they show them on pitching changes too) I can’t stand any of them no matter how clever. They’re all subject to overexposure. I also like the “just OK” with Gordon Ramsay. [Use the cocktail stick!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sivc97UXGI0) ---

LOVE Mayhem as the Cat, especially riding the Roomba. 😃 This one from De-Con gives me a giggle too: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L59CWLhTkgA) ---

Who knew obnoxious kids would be every bit as annoying after they were dead as dogshit? ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > I like this Captain Obvious commercial: > > [Condoms.](https://youtu.be/i6LDuOHyPMI) I was just going to post the same thing. I know I’ve seen the commercial for several days but I thought that can’t be what he’s saying. Once I started paying attention it dawned on me that I’ve seen this commercial only late at night. Yes, it makes me laugh now. ---

I like [this spooky Progressive commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCMLK7JTsXs) with the husband turning into his parents; first because I think the premise is amusing, and second because I like the cute bunny-teeth actress. I don’t know who she is but she’s been in lots of commercials. ---

A local dealership called John Heister Chevrolet has a long-running string of commercials featuring some use of the catchphrase “Get off your keister and come to Heister.” The overly serious tone of [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj0CgaEg-t0) is refreshingly funny for some reason. ---

I’ve mentioned the Progressive Motaur commercials before. Well, the Motaur is so badass he drinks gasoline. Kids, don’t try this at home. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wGMFLtQVgc) ---

I like one commercial for Southern New Hampshire University (knowing nothing about this institution) because it says something so important so simply. You can find it [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfHYnKMVrfw) at 00:12. “The world in which we live equally distributes talent, but it doesn’t equally distribute oppportunity, and paths are not always the same.” ---

I like the slow turkey ads. But I do have a minor bone to pick on one. The turkey is on the roof of the building, looking out the binoculars and doing a selfie with a pigeon. Then he walks to the elevator which has… up and down buttons? He’s on the roof- he can’t go up. ---

Apologies if it’s been said but… I like the Indeed commercial with Claire who was passed up for the VP job. The actress playing Claire does a really good job with her facial expressions showing the heartbreak of losing, the excitement of getting the interview request then the smug “fuck you all” of knowing she’s gonna get it. Good on her. ---

I like the Chantix turkey. Though he has a much nicer house, better car, and goes to much more interesting places in the car than I ever will. ---

I like the Muppets Facebook Portal commercial (although I really don’t know what they’re selling). Miss Piggy: “And of course \*Moi \*is on TV…” Statler & Waldorf: “NOBODY CARES!” Still makes me laugh. ---
