Pleasing Commercials

[Deja Q]

Sadly, I don't know of any. Except when they end. That's the cool thing about DVDs; the commercial break starts, there are no commercials, and then it's back to the program. Maybe that's pleasing! :D

3. LOL

That commercial didn't use to do that (a Jeopardy staple) I have no idea why they changed it to that incredibly irritating new version.

2. I did really like that VW commercial

Where the 4 people in the Jetta were driving out in the country and Pink Moon by Nick Drake was playing.

[Taverner]

17. That one was good too

VW has had quite a few excellent commercials with music as the theme..

4. A TVLand commercial for Leave It To Beaver ...

The ad parodies anti-drug ads, discussing the evils of ... girls.

Mess with girls and girls will MESS YOU UP! :rofl:

[Deja Q]

5. How do the girls feel about that?

:wow:


:rofl:

[meegbear]

6. I dunno ...

but I sure don't wanna act all goofy and flaky over some girl.

[Deja Q]

7. And yet they still called him 'The Beaver'...

:shrug:


Oh, how about acting all goofy and flaky for some guy? :D

[meegbear]

9. Butch and rugged sure ...

but goofy and flaky? Well, if it gets me a phone number ....

[Orrex]

8. I hate to say it

but those Geico Caveman commercials bust me up every time. Not enough to offset the overwhelming annoyance of that stupid CGI gecko, mind you, but they still make me laugh.

10. Snoop Dogg's Orbit Gum commerical.

I think it's one of the funniest commercials ever! :rofl:

[sarge43]

11. I thought the FedEx caveman ad was damn funny.

I also get a kick out of the Capital One barbarians, especially the one where one of the lads gets spritzed at the mall perfume counter.

[Kat45]

12. I like the commercials with the AFLAC duck

They are a riot! Especially the one with Yogi Berra in it.

[Taverner]

16. Did you know Gilbert Gottfried does the voice?

[Kat45]

18. No, I didn't. Then that would be the only good thing he does!

[Taverner]

19. I actually find him funny

But he's not for everyone....I'm surprised he had a following beyond cult status.

[SIU_Blue]

13. the Geico(?) caveman one...

"I'll have the roast duck with the mango salsa"

"and I don't have much of an appetite, thanks..."

:rofl:

with props to this thread which reminded me of it.

14. VW had one a while back set to ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky"

I loved the way they edited and directed that commercial - very well done.

And I HATE ELO!!!

15. Marbles is a game

I don't care about the sweat shop thing (Well, I do) but some of their spots from about a decade ago were very entertaining:

Dennis Hopper's crazed referee: Do you know what Bruce Smith does in these shoes? Bad things man, bad things. Do you know what Bruce Smith would do if he saw me messing with his shoes? Bad things man, bad things.

And Spike Lee did some great spots with them, like his discussion of trash talking that included the amount of waste that people generated every day.
