Back around 2013, there was a radio ad for Sierra Mist. It had the lyrics “la la lemon la la lime” and “sixteen ice cold ounces” in it. It was just a dumb commercial, but I really enjoyed the musical arrangement so much I’d turn it up loud when it came on.
I’ve tried for years to find it online so I can hear it again. Anyone know where I might find it?
Boring Flo:
Progressive TV Spot, 'Sleeping Baby' - iSpot.tv.
I don’t know if ads for streaming services count as commercials, but this one from Paramount+ is pretty funny, as the bucket of water from Flashdance causes the unfortunate death of one Kenny McCormick.
I don’t understand it, but I don’t hate “my cousin from Boston”. It helps that I don’t see them all that often.
I hate your cousin from Boston, but I actually like this one.
I didn’t hate this one from Ladder Insurance. I’ve only seen it a few times, and most of those have been the shortened version. Especially fun was the disclaimer at the end.
And the perfect counter: Danger for AAA Insurance
I also like the commercials for AAA roadside assistance: “Packing tape is like roadside assistance – quality matters.” “A garden hose is like roadside assistance – quality matters.”
This Iams commercial has been in rotation for a while and I never get sick of it. That is quite a bit of adorable to cram into one ad. Btw, does anyone know what kind of cat that is right below the green square?
American Curl.
Wow, that was fast; thanks! I’ve never seen one of those; so stinkin’ cute!
The latest commercial with Mr. Liberty Biberty admits that the statue is added during post (18 second mark).
The joke there could be that — since he’s a moron — he thinks they’ll add the statue to that spot in post, but he’s, y’know, wrong.
He’s good
Yeah, that is the joke. He’d have to be blind to not notice that the statue is on the other side so it can’t really be there, either.
That commercial should be extended a little, like maybe an hour.
I think it could. I think the gag could indeed be that he genuinely wants to know if they’ll digitally insert it at Point B, while failing to realize that, uh, even with the statue at Point A, the camera can already line up a shot of you and it; so, no, they won’t do that in post.
I hate shouting, and only recognize Dave Grohl and Kevin Hart, but this commercial amuses me to no end.
At least one Doper familiar with the area has stated that such a view is impossible without CGI:
I’m not disputing that it is CGI; only that, like you said, they were now admitting it: in the context of the storyline being real (as the TV commercial version of kayfabe, I guess).
That commercial doesn’t explain how my life would improved by having their product in it. If I didn’t already know what SiriusXM was that commercial wouldn’t help at all.
