Mine are both Geico commercials.

I love the Talking Pothole commercial and the one that has the Road Runner and Wiley Coyote in it. It cracks me up when the gecko repeats what the Road Runner says and that is "Meep, Meep".


But, I can't stand that Tostedos talking bag commercial and it sounds so stupid when I hear the word Boo ya!.

This old long-running ad for L&P (soft drink) reminds me of my childhood. I must have watched it hundreds of times as a kid. It features one of my favourite songs, Counting the Beat by The Swingers.

This one is a relatively recent ad, and it never fails to crack me up.

I can only think of one that I never get tired of, for Gas-X (anti-farting product):
Job interviewer (examining man's resume): I see you're 'flatulent' in 3 languages, graduated first in your 'gas'..." (applicant squirms uncomfortably) (Assistant enters)
Assistant: Your son 'Rip' is on line 'toot'.

(as interviewer turns away to answer phone, man hastily chews tablet)
Announcer: Gas on your mind? Gas-X gets rid of gas fast. Take Gas-X and get your mind off gas.

Today's commercials are repulsive and a sign that all hope for humanity is lost. :thumbdown:

Mine are both Pacific Blue Cross commercials that feature one of my favourite Sweet Peas.

The restaurant one for dental and the bakery one where the woman slips. Just look up Pacific Blue Cross Life Bites on YouTube to watch the cute, little Sweet Pea.

one from the 60s was an anti-smoking PSA, it was a cartoon featuring some guy waking up with a typical smoker's hack, and he coughs so hard that his head bounces off his body and bounces away down the street. :lol: then from the 70s was an after shave commercial [I think it was "Afta"] where this guy in a monologue says as a kid he did kid things, but now as an adult he shaves in the adult way, using Afta aftershave, then he slaps some on each cheek then cries like a baby! WAAAAA!! ! :lmao:

I like the old, OLD (like 60s) Alka-Seltzer commercial where there's this little "boy" (animated) with red hair, and an Alka-Seltzer for a body.

Also, I like, at Christmas, when Santy is riding an electric shaver.

More recent, include: The eTrade babies, that talk (mostly seen during the Super Bowl). Also, the extended commercials for "The Big Bang Theory", where they show Simon ("Howard") playing the keyboard with the Barenaked Ladies; and they show the cast at a "Table Read", and various other stuff----I just LOVE that commercial, and would like to see it, about 6 times in-a-row!!

Also, you can't have a Super Bowl, without the Clydesdale horses!!

I also like the ad for the new Microsoft Surface, and would LOVE to have one----but, that 500 dollar price-tag, gets in the way!!

This one is my forever best:


I also consider fun almost all commercials of the beer "Żubr"(="European bison").

But you probably won't understand much because they use Polish puns. For example the one above says "Dobrze posiedzieć przy żubrze" means "It's good to sit next to European bison" but also "It's good to spend time with the beer Żubr".
Not like they make me buy beer. But they are funny.
