I like that Green M&M commercial where she's naked (Now that's what I call eye-candy), but I can't find that commercial anywhere.

I also like that Lee Brazil Jeans Commercial where the people are grabbing the jeans.

[BTO]

I like all the Free Credit Report.Com commercials. And the swiffer mop commercial with the cute blond chick.

I like commercials, but I like the programs more, but that's just me. However,
if I had to pick what commercials I like, it would be infomercials for exercise
equipment featuring those good looking women or a Billy Mays commercial

[Hollow]

i like an occasional commercial. i started seeing billy mays commercials when i was nine or ten years old and became a fan right away. i wasn't sure what was so compelling about him but i'd always get excited whenever his commercials came on.

I loved the classic TV commercials of the '50s and '60s, esp. the animated
ones by the likes of Jay Ward and Hanna-Barbera and the funny ones by
satirist Stan Freberg. Today's commercials, on the whole, are more hard-sell
and less amusing. There's less humor in the new commercials, and I miss that.

I always liked that dropped phone call one. "Cat got your tongue? Earl got your tongue?" :lol:

Any good cartoon commercials? Because I made a thread about that on Big Cartoons Forum. (Speaking of which, would it hurt that I launch a Fan Page for BCDB on Facebook)?

I really enjoy the progressive.com commercials with Flo. "There's no discount for agreeing with me." "I know, I got carried away." "I get that all the time."

[adultescent]

I *really* like this commercial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jd-seq-OdU ... I first saw an almost identical version of this commercial on Australian tv months ago, and I was so hoping the woman in it really was a "nature cinematographer", but, no, I found out she's a South African model named Tanit Phoenix: http://www.tanitphoenix.co.za/ ... I've actually gone into a couple of optometry businesses in Sydney just to get a Transitions brochure with pics of her in it lol :| ...

Growing up in New York State, in the late fifties, among my favorites were
the Schultz & Dooley commercials for Utica Club beer. Schultz and Dooley
were two talking beer steins. The original black-&-white ads ran from 1959 to
1965 (with a brief color revival in 1969). I just learned a few years ago that
Bil Baird was the puppeteer and that comedian Jonathan Winters provided the
voices. The original commercials were very entertaining (I found a video tape
on eBay a while back). There are also some of them posted on Youtube.
Great stuff. esp. the one with the kitty cat. That one won a Clio award for
Best Television Commercial. It took a long time to make that commercial, but
it paid off. The prop man put some catnip or something on a Schultz doll so
that the kitty cat would lick it off. Jonathan Winters was given free rein to
ad-lib and do his thing. When Schultz starts giggling and laughing uncontrollably, it is hysterical. :lol:

I mostly like old commericals from the 50's 60's and some 70's. I have eight DVDs of old commericals, and when I get an old TV with the original commericals included I'm a happy man.

[PlayOn]

I love the M&M commericals.
