> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ballybay \* > \*\*For some reason, I also like the Coke commercial, where a woman has been watching her neighbor across the street in the shower, cooking dinner and playing his guitar, singing “I Want You to Want Me.” It’s cute, though I realize it would be creepy if the roles were reversed and it was a man obsessively watching a female neighbor. \*\* I think it’s creepy either way. I’d call the cops. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Gundy \* > \*\* > The Alice Cooper one **eyewearlime** mentioned is hilarious. I think a different commercial featuring Alice Cooper has him skipping rope with a couple of little girls - sublime. \*\* Actually, I just saw that one–I think it’s the same ad, just longer. ---

Right now my favorite is for some DSL service where a guy is sitting at his computer when it says: “We are sorry. You have reached the end of the internet. There is no more to see. Try again later.” The look on his face when he sits next to his wife on the couch just cracks me up. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mayflower \* > \*\*I loved the Snickers bar commercials, two in particular. One featured a man laying the hashmarks on a football field and putting the team name (the KC Chiefs) and logo in the end zone. Poor guy worked like a dog and after he finished a player tells him that it looked great, “but who are the ‘Chefs?’” The other also involved football and a guy gets plowed under during a play. They question him about his location, the date, etc, and he answers everything correctly till they ask him his name. He gets a serious look on his face and says, “I’m Batman.” > > I thought these were hilarious! \*\* I love those! Especially the Batman one, when the coach tells the player to sit out (“but I’m Batman!”). 🙂 I saw another one last night – I think it was for Zest soap. After the guy took a shower people kept crowding around him all day to smell “the great new scent of Bob.” Makes me giggle every time. ---

I’ve never liked the Snuggle fabric softener commercials until now–there is one where they are auditioning for the Snuggle mascot and this porcupine drops down and says in this tough-sounding voice, “I’m snuggly soft!” For some reason, this just cracks me up every time!! 😃 ---

I saw an ad recently for a new brand of ice cream (I can’t recall the name, sorry) where this woman and her husband are in bed, and the husband is coughing up a storm. The woman gets out of bed, goes into the kitchen, opens the freezer and gets out the ice cream. The setup is done such that you think she’s going to get her poor suffering husband some nice, soothing ice cream for his throat. What actually happens is that she sits down at the kitchen table and starts digging into the ice cream. Her husband continues to cough in the next room, and she reaches out her foot and pushes the kitchen door shut so that she can’t hear him and continues to savor her ice cream with this dreamy look on her face. It cracked me up. 🙂 ---
