Not a commercial, _per se_, but an advertisement, so I think it fits the spirit of the thread. I saw it while driving to work. _We have a pickup truck. Let’s just move ourse—_ _NO! Hire Jon’s Movers!_ And the graphic, covering the entire door of a moving van, is the famous image of Batman slapping the stupid out of Robin. 🤣 ---

Progressive Insurance has had a series of commercials that feature a pair of NFL chaingang (ok, yardmarker) guys: The hold the orange …stanchions(?) uprights(?) that make up the first down markers and has them as housemates. The series is called Sticking Together. They’ve been ok, they share a bathroom, have to get stuff from the scary dark basement, parallel parking, heh. But I saw one tonight that was new to me where one uses the marker as a carpet beater. It’s clever since they’re about the right shape.

Following along in this, here’s a local billboard in SoFL that always gets a chuckle from me.

And winning. ---

Geico’s wordplay ads are pretty amusing. “We have a clogging problem, we have a Ratt problem, we have aunts.” The new one is pretty good. “There’s an issue with our neighbors fencing.” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/RlrIoeC4L20/maxresdefault.jpg "Fencing Problem / Geico New Ad") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlrIoeC4L20) ---

I keep trying to anticipate the next play on words like Geico has done. I wouldn’t have thought of fencing! Pretty good. ---

We have a problem with leeks? I’m not sure a bunch of vegetables lend themselves to humor, though. ---

Besides, too much of their audience won’t know what a “leek” is. ---

For absolutely no reason I can figure out, Little Caeser’s: “NO RULEZ!!!” “Puchya shirt back on.” “ONE RULE!!!” commercial slays me. The first time I saw it, I laughed my ass off and it continues to make me chuckle. Weird how a thing unexpectedly strikes your funny bone. ---

[This commercial](https://www.ispot.tv/ad/tdnm/amazon-fire-tv-cube-medieval-replay) for the Amazon Alexa amuses me. This guy is watching a medieval drama while ironing, missed that a character just died and, breaking the fourth wall, asks the actors to re-do the death scene. ---

That’s great. Although I must be thick. I didn’t catch the significance of the young woman’s name until the very end. At 90 seconds long I wonder how it’ll be ~~shortened~~ butchered for TV. ---

The NFL.shop ad actually features good music. Kind of a Northern Soul feel to it. Nice! ---
