I’m sure some people remember the Alka-Seltzer commercial "Mama Mia! “At’sa spicy meatball!” and the one with the well-meaning bride who cooks things like marshmallowed meatballs and poached oysters.
Then there was a commercial for a candy bar. A little kid posed behind a grid of Full of Almonds candy bars that would disappear, one by one. The voice-over said, "These are Full of Almonds candy bars. This [the kid] is Bobby Thompson. Then the last bar would disappear from just below Bobby’s nose, showing a mustache. “Uh, Bobby needs a shave.”
Please post here your favorite funny commercials, current or past.
I normally hate “funny” commercials, but this one makes me laugh every time.
And I laughed again. Also one of my favorites.
Hubby finds it amusing that I laugh at commercials I’ve laughed at a thousand times. Then I pointed out that he has a series of commercials that make him laugh every time… This one makes me laugh because it’s funny but mostly because it makes him laugh.

I still like the Thumbcats commercials.
Currently, the “smokey eye” commercial makes me laugh.
That actress nails it with the visual and the sly smile…
Loved it!
The “STAMPEDE!” at the end makes it
Stan Freberg’s classicJino’s Pizza Rollcommercial from the 60s is the gold standard for funny commericals.
One thing is a bit dated and needs needs explaining – at the time Lark Cigarettes had a commercial where they drove through the streets with a sign “Show us your Lark Packs” and which used the same music. I assume the two characters at the end are still well known today.
I’m pretty sure the guy on the left cracks up at the end when they are under the bed. At least I’d like to think he does.

Nope. Sean Whalen.
I always thought it was Buscemi until my wife set me straight.
Great googly-moogly!
