Commercials you don't hate

Holy cow, that is a LOT of cute!

Speaking of cute pups, I will stop and watch this one with Regina King any time it comes on

Am I alone in loving Ron Popeil infomercials? The guy was such a showman (for better or for worse).

Yes, we bought the Burgomatic when I was a young. And yes we regretted it.

But I think I more than made up with it by just enjoying his infomercials after that. Because I never bought another one of his products again.

The Chevy commercial where the guy slaps his buddy’s Cheeto-dusted hand away from the giant touch screen is kinda funny.

I’ve been seeing the “KAYAK Denier” ad for a while, which I take as a good sign, because clearly somebody with a marketing budget has concluded that it’s good business/good PR to mercilessly mock the loons (my read is that antivaxxers are the closest analog to the “denier” in the commercial, but 2020 election outcome deniers and climate change deniers are reasonably close fits, too).

I like the imagery and the action and the song in this one for Lipton Iced Tea: Stop Chuggin’, Start Sippin’

I want that revolving house.

Nice - I do think the lady is chugging out of that bottle, though.

I just saw this the other day and thought “Bitch, train that damn dog or leave his ass at home”. I like dogs just fine but, like kids, if they can’t behave, don’t take them everywhere with you.

supposedly that’s based on a real place in Baja that does that every year …

i think it was a take on the “wine mom” trope

if I remember that ad wasn’t she paying for all the bad things the dog had done in the first place?

[Moderating]

And the gendered insult was necessary, why, here? Nothing about that commercial was specific to the dog-owner being a “bitch”.

Avoid using gender-specific insults from now on.

My thoughts were along the lines of her character in Boyz in the Hood asking Ice Cube’s character Why is it every time you talk about a female you gotta say bitch, ho, or hootchie?

Poor comedic attempt on my part, not intended malice. Lesson learned.

Thanks for 'splaining that. I couldn’t figure out why anyone would call Regina King a bitch :woman_facepalming:

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! I just remembered. The 1992 Olympics (I think). Paula Abdul “danced” with virtual celebrities from the past. Diet Pepsi IIRC?

Come on, back me up people. Who else remembers that? :slightly_smiling_face:

I like this one; it so perfectly evokes life with a teenager and what self-obsessed little pills they are. (At least, I was).

Some “classics”…

Wasn’t she the spokesperson for Diet Coke?

On euphemisms for sex. The young couples have them. The older couple doesn’t bother. “Wanna do it?”

Just saw this commercial for a company that helps you find licensed therapists. This is what the weight of mental illness feels like sometimes. A literal weight.
