I too enjoy Geico’s clogging and Ratt commercials.
I can’t be the only one (can I?) who would love to see that family clogging to Ratt.
and then in cowboy garb clogging to A Horse With No Name for an encore
This Progressive commercial from 2016 has been running again. Protected by Flo.
I also like this Subway commercial - “This is why we named your brother Derek.”
Soresto was mentioned in the annoying commercials thread, but it’s actually one of my favorite commercials.
The dog looks so proud of himself. “Look, Mom. I brought you a present.”
I only scanned the most recent page to see if it’s been mentioned:
The Folger’s commercial with the woman who thinks she’s surprising her husband in the shower, opening her robe and the shower curtain. Then a chorus sings:
“You’ve got something up your sleeve
What you didn’t know is you were surprising your father-in-law Steve”
I’m amused at how father-in-law Steve doesn’t seem shocked or embarrassed at all, he just gives her a good pervy up-and-down once-over, then tilts his head very subtly, as if to say “come on in if you want”.
I came back to this thread for the Ratt commercial. It isn’t enough for me to switch to Geico, but I do smile at the commercial when it shows up.
I laugh at so many Geico ads. But come to think of it, we didn’t even consider Geico when we got insurance…
Which brings up my fundamental problem with so much modern advertising… why would “Geico made me laugh” equate to “I’ll trust them to come through with cash if I have an accident”?
Hey, I worked in advertising (for… decades; god, I’m old). And I wrote/designed a lot of funny ads. They were my favorites, they made me feel like I was doing some good in the world… but WHY did they work? When I think of my favorite ads, there’s no correlation to products/services I’ll pay good money for.
I mean, when we bought our car, we would’ve been fools to say “Who’s got the sexiest shots of a silver car drifting on wet twisty roads?”
No, we asked “Okay, what’ll be the most practical, and cost the least over the next five to ten years?” So we bought a Toyota, even though we hate the ads (I think, since we gave the Toyota company money, we should get a golden ticket that exempts us from ever seeing “Jan” again).
Cheetos and Bud Light have had some of THE best Superbowl ads. But they don’t tempt me to buy AT ALL… maybe because the former doesn’t count as food, and the other is barely beer.
Etrade’s Bear market commercial.
The Neutrogenea Acne Wash Consistency commercial may be new for COVID-19 (what day of the week is it?), but I hope they keep showing it just for the model they use. I wonder if she’s in anything else?
I love this commercial for Blue Shield of California.
This is the first commercial in a long time where I stop and watch it every time it comes on. The combination of the simple piano arrangement of “California Dreamin’”, the subtle shift in tone as it goes from the negative words to the positive ones, the message of hope at the end… they did this one right.
I still laugh every time I see Jason Momoa’s “Comfortable” ad for Rocket Mortgage that first aired on the Super Bowl.
The hair shake just kills.
I like the commercial, I think for Zillow, that has Bob Dylan’s song Shelter from the Storm.
Perhaps someone has already mentioned this, but “Stay” by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs clocks-in at 1:36. I’ve always thought they could’ve stayed a little longer, but I suppose that’s all the time they needed.
Jackson Browne’s version, however, could’ve been a lot shorter.
Are you sure you meant to post in this thread, and not here?
That explains it! I was confused…
I can’t agree about Cynthia from the HOA because the last place we lived had an autocratic, invasive HOA, and 16 years later, I’m still pissed off!! But my husband thinks it’s funny.
I see a solution to Cynthia.
