The favorite commercial thread...

Sign in to disble this ad
As a guy who grew up watching TV and commercials... I remember Speedy, floating heads, Call for Phillip Morris, Ho ho ho.. and more... but some commercials go way beyond their nostalgic magic .. and are just flat out hilarious. Some old .. but far more new since the times have changed.. I could probably fill this thread up myself.. but for starters... this one really just cracks me up.

So what cracks you up... ?

This one was in a Super Bowl game, don't remember exactly which one. I do remember having to change shirts after getting food all over myself!

I'll let you figure out why. If you need a hint/don't get it from watching the commercial, read some of the comments.

The old Miller High Life ads were terrific. A couple of my favorites:

Miller high Life- boat - YouTube
Miller High Life--Deviled Egg - YouTube
Miller High Life--SUV - YouTube

Snickers had a few good ones more recently. Like this one:

Snickers Commercial - Disappearance - Germany - YouTube

All the commercials I've seen the last year or two have pretty much been crap.
The harder they try to be funny, the less funny they are.

My favorite commercial ever was a radio advert actually. The Nivea "Soap is Dumb" bit.

The Bud light "Rocket Sled" super bowl add was crazy good too
