This one is probably going to end up in the annoying commercial thread but I saw it and loved it. It’s for a hormone-less birth control for women in which we are invited to some woman’s vagina. So ridiculous, over-the-top and full of double entendres. Like when her vagina doorbell rings and she answers it with, “Coming! _wink_”

I love the “this is a cold call” Tide commercials, with Ice T and Stone Cold Steve Austin. This latest installment made me literally laugh out loud.

“No.”

I was thinking along those same lines when I saw the commercial.  
“Oh good, maybe next we can see the inside of someone’s ass cave. They can be like Indiana Jones with a giant boulder of shit rolling toward them”. Sorry, I know this is the commercials you don’t hate thread. Just cracked (no pun intended) me up that I was thinking the same thing.

I like this Geico commercial. The gecko is walking along a beach where he spots a sign saying, “Clothing optional.”

“How convenient.”

This is a reply to a really old post, but I had to say that when my sister and I are watching something on the dvr, if we’re zipping through the commercials, we’ll both yell “Dachshund!” if we see one, and we rewind to watch the ad.

I don’t know whether to put this here or in the annoying commercials thread, but I like the humor in the General auto insurance commercials starring Shaq.

Shaq sings. Badly.

This may reflect a lot on what I consider entertainment but that last Lifetime movie promo reminded me of John Mulaney.
