Can't believe I haven't posted this one yet! I LOVE the Geico/Tiny House commercial. DAMN I wish that show was real!! I'd totally watch it! I mean, c'mon, it's a TINY HOUSE! Jeez!
In case you haven't seen the commercial, it's one of those fake commercials Geico does for a new reality show called "Tiny House." The premise is this: "There marriage was built to last..." Husband: "You are so awesome!" "But the house was built...TOO SMALL." And from there you see shots of the newlywed couple in these rooms that resemble the Worms' appartment in MIB (that is, they're scaled down), and they have to live in it for a year. Oh, it's great. The bed, the kitchen, everything. God, I hope someone someday really does make a Tiny House realty show. "I just want to make an omellete!" "This is so NOT awesome." *clutches face* Best show ever!!

Also, the Geico commercials with the cavemen are very funny too. You know, I don't think Geico's ever done a commercial I *haven't* liked. I even like the square dude who travels "door to door" with the lizard....

The Tiny House commercial cracks me up..so do the cavemen.

It so seems like a reality show that Fox would do.

Joey: The question is, Rachel, does he like you? ''Cuz if he doesn''t, then it''s all just a moo point.
Rachel: Huh...a...moo point?
Joey: Yeah. It''''s like a cow''s opinion. It doesn''t matter....It''s moo.

XD I just recently saw the new Geico commercials. I've only seen the cavemen ones, but they're so funny.

I would have to say that my favorite commercial is the one about Disney characters. Their all talking about how they wish they could make Disney World better, Jiminy Cricket trying to tell them that there's a wishing star in the sky. Then all of the sudden....


"LOOK OUT!!!"
*BOOM!*
"...I TRIED to tell you guys!"

XD

I also like the Disney commercial with the tow dogs... "So thiiiis is looove!" So sweet, and the puppies in the end just make me go "AWWWW *.*"

The Robot Chicken commercials make me laugh, too. Kill Bill Santa Claus and Jesus with katanas cracks me up everytime. I can't wait to see it play out on the show. XD

I remember this commercial from several years ago. This guy is at a party all stressed out, standing in a corner where all the food and punch is. A guy walks up to him and says "Do you remember ME?" and made a fist gesture, looking like he was gonna pound the guy out. He nods in reply and the guy walks away. Another guy goes up to him and asks the same question. He nods and the guy walks away. Finally, a pregnant woman goes up to him and asks in a sexy voice, "Do you remember me?"

I literally laughed my ass off at that commercial! I think it was advertising some kind of deoderant, I forget which. Axe maybe? I don't remember.

EDIT: I just remembered that the other guy asking the question (not the pissed off guy) was gay.

Sometimes I really wish they'd reair the old commercials. But, it's cool to see the countdown for the top 20 best commercials or something like that.

I've seen that. It's suprisingly cute and not really annoying. Although it took me five minutes to explain to my dad how to play Marco Polo after he saw it -_-

There's this ad I saw on TBS for pet adoption. It shows this guy laying out a bunch of small toy soliders then setting his cat down (with some kind of weird hat on) and saying "Bonsai Cat starts to attack the soliders!!!" *shot of cat batting at a couple soliders* *shot of guy rolling a small toy tank on his cat* "Here come to re-enforcements!!!"*shot of cat moving its tail* "Oh and with one flick of the tail it's all over!!!" and then a voice says "Imagine how much more fun things would be with a pet" or something like that. It's all really cute and I actually laughed out loud at it.

Recently I saw a commercial for Subaru featuring Kansas' "Dust in the Wind".

The only thing I can't stop thinking about is the temptation to shout out:

"YOU'RE MY BOY, BLUE! You're my boy."

But they need to be inspired, and let's face it, 'Superman'...the last time you really inspired anyone... was when you were dead." -- Batman, to Superman, Infinite Crisis, issue 1

I like the Vonage commercials especially the one where the kid sends his bat through the sliding glass door.
Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once. Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope. And you''ve got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception.

I like the Vonage commercials, too. Two others I like are both DQ commercials, the "I've learned to speak bee" one and the funnier one where this guy shows up to comfort his girlfriend because her cat Muffin died. They hug, and he sees the yummy icecream she has and takes a sip while she's cryin. He goes "mmm, Mocha." and the girl says, "no, baby, Muffin." "Oh, right! Muffin! Muffin, the CAT." and takes another sip. Insensitive, but funny.

I quite like the Sobe Adrenaline Rush commercials, where they're speaking of some over-achiever and listing their ridiculous achievements..then they catapult them out of the commercial. XD

Anyone watch the commercial for Hallmark Shoebox greeting cards, featuring the laughing women?

Replace the women with Ayeka, Naga, Kodachi, etc. THAT is what I can't help but think about while watching the commercial.

Has anyone seen the Capital One commercials? I love them!

They're singing the jingle in the background "Hands in my pocket, hands in my pocket hands in my pocket..." and then it shows guys in suits with their hands in other people's pockets. Literally!

Then it goes on to say that "with high interests, banks always have their hands in your pocket. Get them out with Capital One". When I first saw that commercial, I laughed my ass off XD

In Australia at the moment, they've got this great ad for (I think) homeloans -

You see this guy getting ready for work, and he puts a completely see-through suit on, including tie, socks and shoes. He picks up his see-through briefcase, and you see him walking to work with various objects covering his...er privates. Then he gets to work, and everything in his office is see-through as well, and then it goes onto to saying that this company has nothing to hide or something like that.

Trust me, it's hilarious seeing some old dude in a transparent suit. :lol:

I love the PSP commercial with the squirrles when they say "Hells Yeah!" It makes me laugh every time.There's this other one that's probably local, but its for Bojangles and they make fun of the used car sales stores. This guy in a cowboy hat and this girl in very small shorts are showing off differnet meals and the guy screams "WE WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD!!!" It is so funny.

I really like the Verizon commercials where the two songs Temperature and My Humps are played. I also remember a few years ago where Geico had that one gecko do the robot!! It was so much fun seeing it. Another one I like was those one identity theft commercials like had this one person and like the opposite sex would have their voice to show how their identity got stolen. I thought the one where there was this really old guy and a teenage valley girl voice is on him was really creepy. Anybody know what I am talking about?

My favorite commericials are the identity theft commericials... True, identity teft isn't funny (at ALL), but these commercials are just too hilarious.

My favorite one is the one, where these two hillbilly guys stole these two old ladies' ID, and so here are these old ladies with hillbilly guy voices. Their discussion about the motorcycles was hilarious...

Old Lady 1: It was all "RRAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Old Lady 2: No, more like "BRRRRRRRRRR!"

Old Lady 1: No, "RRAAAAAAAAAAH!"

*laughter*

Old Lady 1: So good 'cuz their free... Shoot. *sips tea*

Old Lady 2: Yeah, shoot.


LOL!!! *rollin' on the floor*

For some reason, this recent Jell-O commercial where these people are jumping up and down whilst showing red Jell-O jiggling to the music makes me giggle. :P
