Anyone seen that Raisin Bran Crunch commercial? Damn, that's a great commercial. Basically, this guy is sitting in his cubicle eating Raisin Bran, and his boss comes by and gives this little speech about how he's fired, I think it starts off something like "You've been with us a while, but I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go..." but the guy can't hear him over the sound of his cereal. So it goes back and forth, and you can hear little snippets of what the boss is saying, and the cereal. The guy's totally oblivious, and he nods every once in a while, and has this little grin on his face. The boss goes, "That's a great attitude. You'll go far. But not here. Cuz you're fired."
There's also a sequel where the boss comes up and cereal guy's still there. "Didn't I fire you yesterday? And the day before? Why do you keep coming back? You're fired! I want you out of here." and the cereal guy gives this big dopey grin and two thumbs up.
And as for commercials that creep me out, I get seriously freaked out over the Levi's commercial where the guy takes the mannaquin's jeans, and the freaky thing follows him home to kill him. Scariest commercial ever.

That Raison Bran commercial is hilarious!

Does anyone remember that Halls commercial a few years back? The guy went out golfing and every time he swinged the club, he was like "fore" because he had a sore throat and no one could hear him. Then he pops a Halls coughdrop in his mouth, swings his club, and he was like "FORE!!" Then the ball goes flying out of sight and you hear someone's car alarm go off. I thought it was hilarious, even though I've never been a fan of golf.

I've never seen that commercial. It sounds pretty freaky.

I've never seen that commercial. It sounds pretty freaky.

It is, for two reasons: the background music they use, and the mannequin they chose. I don't know the name of the song that plays, but I used to like it. Now it just freaks me out. What freaks me out most is the fact that you never see the mannequin *move.* He's just kind of *there* in the background, all...mannequin-y and starin'. Then they do the super scary shot of him standing in the window lookin at the guy sleeping on the couch, and

Ihateit.
But on the better side of commercials, I still like that Carfax commercial where the dog's driving the truck and the owner's nagging him about not listenting. Great stuff.

New favorite commercial! I love the new Chicklets commercial where there's these Japanese girls chanting, "SUKI SUKI AHA AHA!" and stuff over and over and there's this guy in the lower left hand corner trying to translate it. I found it to be hilarious because I understood every word the girls were saying and the guy was studdering "uh... I like... watermelon" and stuff.

Aw, that one sounds fun. On a similar vein, there's a new Progresso/Campbells/canned soup commercial where a couple is sitting around eating and practicing their Japanese for vacation. They say all kinds of things like (subtitled) "the carrots are pretty," and stuff, and the husband goes: "Yes, you can really taste the taxi." His wife gives him a funny look, and he goes, "oh...Chicken. Chicken." then the announcer guy says all his announcer-y stuff, and it cuts back to the couple in Japan yelling "CHICKEN! CHICKEN!" at a taxi that drives by. It's kinda weird, tho, cuz I looked up the words for both chicken and taxi in my little picture dictionary, and they sound nothing alike! Unless, I suppose, "chicken" and "cooked chicken" are two different words.

It's still pretty funny tho, "taste the taxi."

I remembered one today I thought was great. A woman goes out of her apartment and buys a really modern office lamp. Then she brings it back to her apartment and takes an old one, a round one with a bendy neck, and leaves it next to her trash. It starts raining hard and the lamp is just drooping down. Violin music is playing. A man in a trenchcoat walks by and says in a Swedish accent, "Are you feeling sorry for the old lamp? It's a lamp! Lamps don't have feelings! Besides, the new lamp is much nicer." And then the IKEA logo comes up.

I love this wells fargo (I THINK it's wells fargo) commercial...A woman is angrily throwing stuff out of the window of her house, obviously her boyfriend's stuff, and a guy walks buy, dodging something. She sticks her head out, and says "Hey, buddy...you wanna buy a car?" And she gestures to this really gorgeous, expensive old car (derek told me what it was, but i forget now ^^; ) and the guy goes "...what..?" and she says "20 bucks. C'mon. TWENTY BUCKS" and he gets out his wallet, all excited, and he has no cash. And it's like "Need an ATM?"

XD;;

I like the Make-Out Dreams Adult Swim commercial. I think it's funny because you have these people making out, and it has nothing to do with anything.

Haha. The 'make-out' commericals are funny. I saw they did one for Anime once (Which was horrible, because there are only like 4 anime shows on the air now) and at the end of the song the woman mentions 'Family Guy'. Kinda of random, naming all these anime and then 'Family Guy'.

two words: Emerald Nuts. Their commercials are SOOOO strange, they're funny. There are a bunch of different ones, all of which feature people who love Emerald Nuts, and all of them start with E and N. My absolute favorite of the series is "Extreme Nurses love Emerald Nuts." and it has these two nurses headbanging behind their counter. There's also Entangled Nine-year-olds, Egyptian Navigators, Earmuffed Negotiators (I like this one too), and others. Good stuff.

OMG I die laughing everytime that commercial comes on! It's just great!!

The mannequin one freaks me out too, it's just wrong.

my favorite 'mercial now has GOT to be the one where there's a couple in an SUV it's rainy outside, they are leaving their date or something. The woman is driving, and all of a sudden she serves, adn says "That girl almost hit me!" The guy says under his breath, "Women drivers" The next thing you see is the SUV pulling over, and she pushes him out in the rain. I'm not even sure what it's advertising, but I just love it. It's like, yeah okay, "women drivers? Isn't that a woman driving your sorry butt around?" hehe, but I love it!

and I have to add this but those "thank you" commercials... I have to mute the tv, and on certain ones, change the channel until I"m sure the skit is over, those are the MOST annoying commercials ever made.

Has any Canadian seen the new commercial that has all these random guys singing Boy George's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me"? All these guys are singing lines from the song and then at the end it says "Please come back Hockey". I think it's a Molsen ad because it looks like their logo at the end. Anyway, it's hilarious because they're all off key.

For you Americans who dont know, some of Canada's hockey players are on strike because their owners won't pay them more, so we don't have any hockey, even though the season should have started Last month (I think).
