Favorite TV commercials?

Sign in to disble this ad
I didn't want to dilute the "most hated" thread. I generally dislike commercials, but every once in a while, one will knock my socks off.

This is hands-down my all time fave - the Tide "talking stain" superbowl ad:

I could watch that all day - whoever did the gibberish is a freaking genius!

It was also clever marketing from them. That extra bit of head meant they were always selling you less than a pint, for the price of a pint!

(I wish more places used lined glasses!)

I just saw this on the TV.

It's certainly doing something for me

However, some of them are sadly a bit too flat for my tastes.

Hehe, aye, it's a good one, tho I can't say those would make a difference if you were walking in sand. But they get my vote!

Also, the newish M&S ad, Oh Bouy indeed

One I remember from a good numbers of years back, when in my early teens, I think...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viicfCTN7co

Could only ever remember the characters and what the ad looked like, never what it advertised.

Ah, the Judderman. Truly an awesome advert, and kind of creepy too.

I do have to admit that I like this commercial featuring "Skippy" from the television show "Family Ties". I have no idea what is being advertised but it has farting in it so therefore I think it is funny.

Beer commercials if they're funny. My favorite was probably the Bud Light revolving fridge. And also, ads that are fast paced with quick cuts and lots of short phrases

I pretty much all of them on FF because most of the stuff I watch is on DVR. I do however slow down and take notes on the most incredible man commercials. Stay thirsty my friends.
