I don’t remember the brand name, but it was for some Greek yogurt. Two women are standing there with cups of yogurt and the one says “if you eat this, whoever you look at looks like John Stamos for five seconds.” One of their lardass husbands comes in, right on que, so they eat some and poof! John Stamos. A few seconds later, the husband’s friend comes in, looking equally fat, hairy and dopey, and you see the women eating the yogurt like starving dogs. I LOLed when I first saw it.
I like the State Farm commercial where the guy is on the phone with his agent and they speak in Journey lyrics.
“Any way you want it.”
“That’s the way I need it.”
Also, my favorite DirecTV commercial is the “Don’t re-enact scenes from ‘Platoon’ with Charlie Sheen” one.
Husband: We just had a little Journey moment, didn’t we?
Agent: Yes we did.
Husband: Saw them in Reno in '87, place was crawling with chicks. [looks at wife, who is looking at him] I gotta go.
Messin’ with Sasquatch. Silly, but funny.
I like the Mayhem spots, too. But I wonder why they did not use the guy from *Bully Beatdown *whose real name is Mayhem?
I love this one, too.
When the wife grabs the phone and says, “What are you wearing?” the State Farm guy just says one thins, “Um…khakis?” in a cautious, perplexed way with a totally midwestern twang. It’s the way he says that word that cracks me up. Like: “Okay… what’s the next question going to be…?”
Ooo, that reminds me, I’ve got a commercial-related question that’s not worth its own thread:
In one of the Progressive commercials with the two guys from the other company, Flo says, Progressive has such-and-such.
The two guys chime in that their company has it too, in fact they invented it! Their pants catch on fire.
Then the first guy says, “It’s like a SOW-na in here.”
Question: Why the hell does he mispronounce it like that? Is there some deeper meaning here, or do people somewhere on the planet actually pronounce sauna that way?
I like at the Sears beach ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AXbzAbFyEjs
If the first guy is going to eat the fish, and the second guy is going to eat the pizza, is the girl going to eat the dog?
I must see this commercial.
I always crack up during the Western Sky Financial commercial. Indian woman, jade jewelrey, talking about giving you $10,000 today! Pow wow drums and tamborine shaking in the background. Then they show the fine print: APR for $10k is 89.68% with 84 monthly payments of $743.99! What?! Then at the bottom: “100% native american business operating on an American Reservation.” Laughing again - “what the hell is going on here?”
Urban hip hop culture. He be pimp’n.
You sound like an old white lady.
What’s even more comical; is the one with the guy.
He refuses to smile and looks down right scary. I hate to think what might happen if you default on your loan.
I certainly ought to.
There are some other great Cheez-it commercials on that page, too.
The Citibank commercial with Meb Keflezighi. It’s a completely uninteresting commercial except for his “Woo!” at the end. My wife and I, for reasons I can’t explain, die laughing every time he does that. He is enthusiastic in exactly the wrong way, and I am completely rooting for him in the Olympics because of that commercial.
ETA: Youtube link, in case you haven’t seen it.
I like Flo, Mayhem, Bergwood, the Geico gecko and hate just about every other insurance commercial, especially State Farm’s. I DO like the part of one where Andre Dawson is pulled out of the ivy at Wrigley and asks, “What YEAR is it?”. Also, there’s the awful (State Farm) one about believing everything on the internet, which is redeemed by Fanny Pack shrugging and saying “Bonjour?” before walking off with the girl.
Those two appear in other Progressive commercials and they’re always portrayed as idiots. So I’m guessing sow-na is just one more moment of idiocy.
I’m not a fan of Wendy’s and the commercials are dull, but the new Redhead Spokesgirl is so stunning I can’t help but watch everytime she’s on! She reminds me of Kari Byron on Mythbusters
I crack up every time at the new Brut commercial.
These ads are currently running on the local stations here in Atlanta.
They are stupid beyond belief but I laugh like a loon every time I see them.
Unfortunately what I CANNOT tell you is the name of the dealership – but I know the name of the cowboy and the horse, how’s that for effective advertising?
Also:
Jenny
That’s Wendy.
No, this is Wendy Thomas. Wendy's new burger: Dave's Hot 'N Juicy Cheeseburger - YouTube
This is the redheaded spokesgirl. Q: Who is the hot redhead girl in the Wendy’s...
