We always have commercials you hate threads…which I love. But let’s have some love for the commercials we love (you can tell this is loving since I’ve typed it thrice now).
I’ll start by mentioning the Tax Masters ad. For some reason I cannot help but laugh every time Patrick Cox says “hello!”. The way his voice goes up, and his head bobs…it’s so funny.
I love the AT&T commercial where the guy is apparently working and it’s his anniversary and his wife (girlfriend? concubine?) calls. The premise isn’t really original (a dumb guy? Noooo…) but the way he acts is very funny.
These are the first two…I’ll probably remember some more…any others?
Another one that cracks me up is the AT & T UVerse one where the family is having dinner. The little brother is reading the big sister’s diary, and she’s not upset. Plus, she wants feedback from her parents on its contents. The wife wants to mow the lawn on the weekend, and the husband will let her, but only if he can talk to her mother for hours on end.
That commercial makes me laugh every time I see it.
Of the current crop, some of the Geico commercials.
I also love the gas station coffee ads with the princess and the white horse – these crack me up.
But for really classic, you can’t beat the old Stan Freberg ads – Show us your Jeno’s Pizza rolls; Sunsweet pitter prunes; Great American Soups; and others.
I like very few commercials, the only one in recent memory I can recall that I really liked was for eyeglasses. The woman calls in her cat for the evening and it turns out to be a raccoon.
Very effective huh? I can’t even remember the name of the company selling glasses
The DirectTV commercials featuring the incredibly rich guy with the tiny giraffe, especially the one where he kisses it on the head. I have proved again and again that I will drop whatever I am doing to see a tiny giraffe.
I’m not sure and reckon it’s a phone company but the two guys are in a coffee shop and instead of just talking across the table to his co-worker, he calls and texts and sets up a meeting via his handheld.
I like the one where the two guys are on the chairlift and the one asks if he can date the other guys ex-girlfriend. She texts him and then sends a video at which point the friend grabs the phone and chucks it. The reason I like it is because it is fits in perfectly with ones I hate, the Sprint ones where folks are being complete dicks with their cell phones.
