As the obvious counterpoint to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=440601) how about telling us the adverts you _do_ enjoy. I’ll start with a [funky monkey](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnzFRV1LwIo) ---

They only get shown in cinemas but I love all the [Orange Film Board](http://uk.youtube.com/results?search_query=orange+film+board&search=Search) adverts. The premise is that an actor pitches a movie to the “Orange Film Board” who proceed to wreck it by adding various mobile phone related plot twists, the tag being not to let a phone ruin your movie. ---

[Kick’n Chicken](http://youtube.com/watch?v=T1Scd0rNt-s) [$11.50 Hamburger](http://youtube.com/watch?v=aBYrdi1vEAI) although I like any of the commercials with that guy. ---

The Soutwest commercial where the guys trying to just get an E ticket. guy- “How about a window seat?” computer- “How about no.” The Bud Light commercial that was shown once during the last Super Bowl but is back now: “He has Bud Light.” “and a CHAINSAW!” ---

The cell phone service commercial where the deli-owner’s phone cuts out right after he makes a nasty joke about the wife of his roast beef supplier. The actor’s expression and delivery is priceless. ---

Alot of the commercials in the “hated” commcericals thread are actually ones I really enjoy. Viking and Pilgrim Snickers commercial is hilarious. Knife in the office KFC commercial is funny and has a point about WHAT makes KFC different. ---

A little off-topic but can I just say that I love these “favorite/least favorite commercial” threads so much more now that everyone can just link to the commercials on YouTube? Carry on. ---

Oh I also really likethe Coldstone Creamery commercials where either the kid or the Bigfoot have to weigh the potential risk/reward to go into the Coldstone because three of their biggest enemies are also there. I like that one of bigfoots is a bikini waxer. ---

The MasterCard ad with the 3 kids doing the [roboty dancing.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pczO2o2ylE) Also, the Visa check card commercial (can’t find it on YouTube) with all the people juggling in the toy store, just because of the “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” music. ---

It hasn’t been on in years, but the [Nextel Dance Party](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG6X8XSrGpg) is priceless. I used to amuse/embarass my daughters by dancing along with it when it came on. ---

[Killer ferrets!](http://www.clipjunkie.com/Killer-Ferrets-vid1694.html) What’s the even for? Diet Mountain Dew?? Whatever. I also have fondness for the Riverdancing chimpanzees, though I have no idea what they’re trying to sell me. ---
