It’s obnoxious, but I still love that Priceline commercial with the Asian couple and Bill Shatner: “But you must say everything I say exactly how I say it.” “Honey…” The actor’s mimicry of Shatner is perfect; I just love it. Can’t get enough of that commercial; I giggle like a schoolgirl every time it’s on. I think it drives the Mr. nuts how much I’m tickled by it. ---

More than 60 posts, and no mention of Flo the Progressive Insurance chick? I’m flabbergasted. ---

The reason I didn’t mention Flo is because she’s already had at least one whole, multipage thread dedicated to her. ---

Too lazy to link it, but for some reason I never tire of the Gamefly commercial where people are shown freaking out (yelling, screaming, wrecking furniture) over getting a bad game. NO idea why it cracks me up so much, but I can’t help it; I get giggle fits every time it comes on. ---

Or however that is spelled. Never fails to make me laugh! “401 K tanked…” “Why don’t you try reading the rule book…?” Yup! That’s the one! 😃 Q ---
