Subject: Commercials you love

Written By: star500 on 10/11/07 at 3:50 pm

Are there any commercials out there that people love from this decade? I personally love the old Imac commercial, the G4 Imac.

This is actually an old Raisin Brain commercial but Raisin Bran decided to recycle it and re-released it:

The Nicoderm commercial with the crazy stewardress. She is a riot!

The little Richard Geico commercial, that commercial is hilarious!

Anyone have any ads that they love??? I'm not a commercial person but there are some ads that if I see them, I won't put the TV on mute right away and will have a good laugh over them.

That commercial for T-Mobile, where the guy is like "What's my girlfriend doing in your fave 5" and his roomate is like "That's not my phone".  Then it starts ringing, and the caller tune plays 'Secret Lovers' by Atlantic Starr ;D

Oh, and that guy who plays the guy asking the question is Johnson, from those Raisin Bran Crunch commercials which I also love ...

"Johnson, you're fired!" ;D

If there's a puppy in a commercial, I love it.

I saw commercial for toilet paper (Charmin maybe) it had a puppy golden retriever laying on TP stretched out like a hammock!  Too cute.


I like the suv commercial (I'm pretty sure it was Jeep)  where the family is "driving" underwater and all the aquatic life go by the windows... I like this because the commercial runs a disclaimer across the bottom of the screen similar to....  "Vehicle does not operate underwater."  Who needs this  disclaimer?!?  Is there someone at home putting down the doobie saying "That's cool man! Let's try it!!!"  SHEESH!  :D

I like that commercial for Michelin, where the Michelin Man is examining tires on the assembly line, and as the tire goes away, he has a tear in his eye while you hear the classic 'Never Gonna Let You Go'.  Then a new tire comes, and he's got a smile on his face

A few adverts I like at the moment include a rotoscoped commercial for a TomTom satellite navigation system, the Bravia LCD commercial with lots of plasticine rabbits hopping around town and the hovis 'Best Of both' advert with disappearing bread in different forms such as jam on toast, sandwiches, beans on toast, etc. There is also a voiceover rhyme that is performed by children.

Another advert that is worth watching is one for Cadbury's Dairy Milk in which a gorilla plays the drums to 'In The Air Tonight' by Phil Collins.
