sigh I miss the Little Caesar’s commercials.
Not the pizza, just the commercials.
This is an ad for jeans (Levi’s Twisted Originals) which I’ve seen at http://www.streambox.co.kr . There are two naked young people making out… as the action heats up, instead of taking clothes off they start putting them on. T-shirt… socks… finally, when they are in a nigh-corybantic state, they start putting on the jeans…
CLICK
The lights come on. The camera pans across to the father, mother, and kid brother of the young woman. The family is shocked at what they see. They are, also, stark naked.
Hmmm… reading over the above, I think that maybe visual humor like this doesn’t translate well to prose. In any case, I LMAO at it.
When the one for the 10th anniversary diamond ring came on the first time, and the narrator said "give her something she’s never had before . . . "
My brother, the inimitable Rincewind, quipped, “Yeah! An orgasm!”
I hurt myself laughing.
All funny ones here…
Priceless, simply priceless (Janet Reno).
Check the site above and see if you aren’t inspired.
Iraq Priceless:

[li]Munitions used to hit the radar sites (AGM-154 Joint Stand-Off Weapon): $150,000 each.[/li][li]Aircraft used to deliver the munitions (F/A-18 Hornet): $24,000,000 each.[/li][li]Proving to Saddam there is a Bush in office again: Priceless.[/li][/ul]
Of course, this brings to mind a little abbreviation: SIDB (Same Iraq, Different Bush).
This isn’t exactly a good commercial, but I cracked up because of the oddness of it.
It’s a salad commercial. A mother is trying to get Junior to eat his peas. Her little monolouge goes something like, “Junior doesn’t like to eat his peas. So I try to get him to eat them any way I know how. Even if it means putting into his salad. He loves his salad.” That’s really paraphraising it, but I started cracking up and crying, “Who cares about the peas? What is your deal with the peas? What’s the obsession?” Junior gets as much nutrients out of the salad than he does the peas. She says something in the end like, “Someday he’ll eat his peas, but until then…the salad.” Something like that.
How about those classic Massingil (sp?) ads with the mother and daughter walking through the field of spring flowers…the daughter turns to her mother and says…
“Mom… have you ever had that not so fresh feeling?”
First…I love the pc way of saying “Hey Mom…I think my cooch stinks.”
Second…has any female EVER brought up the topic of the odor of her hooha with her mother? " Hey Mom–I just called to see how you’re doing and man the updraft from ny hooha is RIPE-any pointers?"
Not to be picky, but…
The infamous “Aaron Burr” commercial was done with a peanut butter sandwich, not a brownie. Doesn’t matter, it’s funny either way, but you had to hear him say, “Aaron Burr!” which came out more like “Ugin Buh” when he said it with a full mouth.
I think (not at all sure) that the one with the $25 dollar pet (“some things are worth spending a little more”) was actually a hyena (according to a sign on the cage), or possibly a dingo, but it sure wasn’t a regular dog. That’s a funny one too.
My current favorite is for one of the sports networks (maybe ESPN, maybe not) and the show being advertised is hockey. The one I’m thinking of shows women bowlers doing their thing, and the commercial just looks like televised bowling. Suddenly, bowler #2 absolutely cold-cocks bowler #1 with a hellacious body check as she’s getting ready to bowl. Bowler and ball go absolutely flying across the alley. The words come on the screen: “Bowling would be better if it were hockey.” I’ve seen the same theme done with billiards, and it’s just as funny.
It’s been a long time, but I remember a public service announcement from the early 1970’s that nearly left my Mom in hysterics.
Picture a lot of good looking people (including teens, grandmas, and even children) smiling, playing, etc. In the background, they sing this catchy little tune:
Veeeeeee Deeeeeeeeee
Is for EV’RYbody
Not just for the few…
Anyone can share VD
With someone
Nice as you…
Does anyone else remember this one? I swear it’s for real. I didn’t get the joke at the time because I was in elementary school and didn’t know what VD was then.
You’re right, it was a hyena.

Another one that bothers me–the ads with the people singing “Karma Chameleon” off key. Why the hell is this supposed to make anybody wanna buy Levis?
And one I liked…years ago there was a commercial for Colt .45 Malt Liquor, which featured a nuclear missile sub firing a can of the stuff through the Arctic ice after a countdown. I only ever saw it once–I assume somebody got the vapors over a humorous takeoff on an SLBM launch and they canned it.
But the commercial opens with a mother carrying a basket of laundry pass her son’s room where he is talking with his friend. Both are about 5. She stops as she overhears the friend ask
“What do you want for your birthday?”
The kids says without a hitch “A box of Maxi Pads.”
The mom sorta taken aback wonders and the friend asks the obvious question.
“Well what are those?”
The kid sighs.
“Dunno but everytime I see a commercial for them, they show people riding horses, and hang gliding and do all kinds of fun stuff. I figure I can do those things once I get a box of them.”
Something clatters outside and they show the mom busting a gut. It cracked me up watching it.
Guys, I just saw this one today. I don’t know how they had him labelled, but the dog in question was one of those little, scrawny, scruffy, bug-eyed, drowned-rat lookin’ fugly dogs. Sort of a cross between a Chihauhua, a terrier, and a 'possum.
Now, for a funny commercial, Nineiron, maybe you remember this one:
A couple of golfers at the edge of a cliff, one going berserk, (apparently had a bad round) shouting and screaming something like "I hate this game! I’m never going to play this stupid game again!"
He heaves club after club as hard as he can, off the cliff and into the water below. Then he stomps off, leaving the other guy standing there stunned.
As he leaves, he growls "I’ll be in the car!"
The other guy quietly mutters “…but those were my clubs.”
I don’t remember what the product was, but the scenario sticks with me.
Bboy, I remember that one. I think it was for some credit card or another, the message being that the guy can buy his buddy some new clubs.
Toilet golf: So you can shit and whack your balls at the same time. Real product, as described in this image.
That one never aired commercially, but it did appear on a commercial special.
Something like:
“What are we going to buy with our money?”
“We’re going to buy some o.b. tampons!”
