favorite commercial?
There aren't very many commercials I can say I like but I love the Capital One commercials with the Vikings. Do you have a favorite commercial and what is it?

I used to really enjoy the Emerald Nuts commercials. Thought they were pretty insane, but funny.
Normally, everything I watch is pre-recorded on my DVR, so I skip the commercials, but I've actually stopped and "rewound" to watch Emerald Nuts.

There is a new one, I think it is boost mobile. It's the hippie chick and the guy on the motorcycle. Her armpit hair is flailing in the breeze and whipping him in the face. It is so disgusting, but it gets a chuckle out of me every time!
Here is the link if you haven't seen it:

I like the Free Credit Report ads, too, especially the 'dream girl' one and the one on the bikes. Sadly, I know way too much about those ads. The kid who 'sings' them is actually a French-Canadian (Eric Violette) and rumor has it he's lip sync-ing and doesn't speak English. The pirate hat is in every ad in that series. If he's not singing them, and I don't think he is, then I'm curious who really is. It seems odd to me they wouldn't have just hired someone who could actually sing in English, but I know nothing about producing commercials.
I also like the M&M ads.
I saw a new one last night that cracked me up. A woman is trying to get a piece of fish out of a pan and it's stuck. The pan goes flying through the kitchen window and a car window outside. I don't know the product, probably PAM or some other cooking spray.
Debbie-cat, have you seen that ad for Arrowhead Auto Body? (Don't just go to anybody, Arrowhead Auto Body's gonna fix it right!) That tune is way too catchy!
The baby commercials just creep me out for some reason.
Love the Pedigree commercials, especially the ones that talk about shelter doggies.
Most annoying and disgusting ad: "Bob" who needs male enhancement. Talk about creepy!Last edited by Spirit Deer; 02-20-2009 at 09:42 AM.

I LOVE the free credit report dot com commercials!! They crack me up.
It's an older one, but I love the nabisco commercial where the cookie is singing, "if you think I'm sexy and you want my body, c'mon baby let me knooooooooooow" right before he gets eaten.
Wesley loves the capri sun commercials. He giggles at the 'respect the pouch respect it!' and runs around screeching it all the time!McD

I just saw one from Suburu Forrester. The boy is making a pinewood derby car. It's not the best looking. Another boy is handed his by his father & it looks really nice, but the other boys' not so goodlooking car wins.
It was a feel good ad.

One current commercial that makes me laugh every time I see it is the one for Hulu.com that stars Alec Baldwin as an alien out to eat your brains.

that guy in the credit report.com commercials does speak english coz dh and i just saw him in some movie (don't remember what it was though) and i said..."Look that's the guy from the credit report.com commercials.".....it was some stupid 'b' chick-flick....
i like the at&t rollover minutes commercial where the lady is trying to 'save' the minutes (one the family spills milk on them...then another the son tries to sell them in a garage sale)....
and i love that little geico lizard....he's adorable....
