This is for those of us who love commercials....This is our thread!

As a child, I would look forward to commercial breaks and curse the shows!(most people it's vice versa)

I'd be like "hurry up and start the commercial break!"

When the commercial break would come on, I'd be like.......

What are your favorite commercials?

Zoneboy · 01-16-2009, 11:52 AM

Without a doubt this is my favorite commercial ever.

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 · 01-16-2009, 05:21 PM

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

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?"

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 · 08-31-2009, 03:38 PM

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.

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.

I love the M&M commericals.
