Did you like one commercial but deem the other one not worthy? That’s right. Not only did I loathe the notion of the band members being attacked, I know that wolves, contrary to popular belief, are not the belligerent attackers they have been made out to be. :mad: ---

Western Saloon. Guy come in and shouts, “Big Jim’s comin’!”. Terrified patrons clear the place, leaving bartender alone. Big badass guy with red beard comes in. Bartender serves him a Schmidt “big mouth” beer which he drinks down. Bartender offers him another, saying “It’s on the house”. Guy replies , "What? You kiddin? _Big Jim’s Comin’!_ Honorable Mention: Couple having breakfast. Sleepy upstairs neighbor knocks and borrows a bar of Coast soap. We begin to hear whoops of delight coming from the upstairs shower. My friend and I start nudging each other, “What’s he doing with that soap, eh?”. Hubby looks out the window upwards and a blob of white goo lands on his forehead. We absolutely explode with laughter. And I never saw that commercial again. ---

The Geico ad with the raccoons in the garbage - one saying to the other “Taste this. It tastes like mango chutney and burnt hair.” My husband and I giggle over that one every time. It’s become his go-to phrase for any food he doesn’t like. Dunno why we find it so funny, but we do. ---

I just saw the Geico ad - a figure skating Sumo wrestler! Big huge guy scantily dressed on skates in an arena, the hushed commentary: ‘and there it is, his signature move - the baby bird!’ and the crowd goes wild! ---

I love the ad where the little kid is rushing into the bathroom and can’t get his belt undone. “Mom, we have a situation!” ---

Here are a few I caught on one of those “year’s funniest” programs a long time ago. Apparently there were a whole series of them, for the Nynex Yellow Pages. My favorites: [Furniture Stripping](https://youtu.be/_4KlH0umhOg) [Fishing Tackle](https://youtu.be/1fhBojJ0UOg) ---

“Well, the squirrels are back in the attic.” “Mom!?” “You father won’t call an exterminator. He says it’s personal this time.” Soooooooooo classically funny! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-funny-commercials/775396.md?page=1)
