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).

Actually it's all the hockey players, not just Canadians, and they're not on strike, the owners have locked them out. I would probably join the singing crew, even though hockey has been bad the past few years, bad hockey is better than no hockey.

...You mean this isn't a Canadian problem? Well, why has no one over here mentioned American hockey teams being in the same position? That's weird 0____o;

Actually, they have. The league's "Collective Bargaining Agreement" expired, so there's no NHL hockey at all, anywhere. There's only three or four Canadian teams anyway, so that would only be a minor setback.

I don't really like that commercial anyway; I never liked hockey, and I just kind of chuckle at the guys and their collective misfortune.

Guys, get back on topic.

Heh, one I just saw a few minutes ago was pretty funny. It was a Red Bull commerical, and a guy just got craped on by a bird. So he drinks some Red Bull and get's his wings, and flies in the air. He eventually flies over the bird who crapped on him, unzips his pants, and then you see the bird all scared before it cuts to the closing image of the Red Bull can to end it. XD

Dan, I've seen that commercial. Tho I don't really like any of the Red Bull commercials, that one is probably the one I dislike least.

Has anyone seen the mountain biking commercial with the guy who doesn't have a bike. It's pretty funny. He runs like he's pedaling, and it just looks so hilarious. Then, the tries to go down a big hill and he bumps into a rock and just crashes. I don't know what it's for, but I (heart) it.
Also, almost *any* Sonic commercial with Pete and whatever the other guy's name is (the two guys in the car). "I want a name that accurately describes myself. Like...Doctor...Funtime." "Oh, okay, I got one. Jobless Pete." The look on the other guys face is just priceless. "Or how bout...'cries at night'?" And then the other one: "I don't know much in this crazy mixed-up world, but I do know one thing: Them penguins... is funny lookin birds." Best. Damn. Line. Ever. XD

I LOVE the bike commercial. It's fuckin hilarious. and it's for rewards for some credit card, I think.

I despise the sonic commercials,a nd I despise the sonic guys even more.

=D I finally know what commercial you're talking about..becuase my friend from Canada is in it!

XD he's a comedian, and he does TV spots and commercials sometimes. He's the one singing in the rain, staring at the window. when he showed it to me, I thought of this, and was like "HEY! THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT! WHEE."

so yeah. That's cool.

I LOVE the AmeriQuest commercials that they showed during the superbowl. Especially the cat one. XD

There are these beer commericals that I find really funny. It has these guys drinking beer, and they do something, and then this old Nova Scotia guy comes up and says, complete with accent..."WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? THAT'S THE PRIDE OF NOVA SCOTIA YOU JUST DEFACED!ALEXANDER KEITH SLAVED TO MAKE THAT BREW!" And in the one I saw recently, the dude had popped off the top of the beer bottle, and the guy was like "YOU JUST INJURED THE PRIDE OF NOVA SCOTIA! NOW, YOU GO GET HIM A NECKBRACE!" So the dude picks up a napkin, and puts it on the top of the bottle and this is followed by a "NOT A HAT, A NECKBRACE! THIS ISN'T A FASHION SHOW, IT'S AN EMERGENCY!"
Not exactly like that, but still funny.
And then there's the weather network, doing advertisements for winter, but there's a list of warnings, just like drug commericals..."Warning. The weather network is not responsible for any side effects felt of weather such as the freezing of the extremities, cabin fever, or hot chocolate dependance. Winter activities may not be taken with Summer fun."

There are two Dr. Pepper commercials I adore.

The first shows a guy doing all sorts of things for his girlfriend...getting her tampons, folding her panties at the laundromat, doing Yoga with her...and Meatloaf's "I would do anything for love" is playing. Then, she takes a drink of his Dr. Pepper..he grabs it ("But I won't do that..."), glares at her, then runs out the door.

The second shows a soccor mom slowly getting out of her van. "Stacey's Mom" is playing, and a bunch of her son's friends and her son are staring as she clicks the automated door opener on her keys, and the door of her van slowly opens. Inside are coolers full of Dr. Pepper. The boys come running, and look at her as though she's a goddess.

XD oh I love those. My two favorites are the one where they spill the beer on the floor and the guy with the Newfie accent (I think it's a newf) comes up and says "You've just spilt the pride of Nova Scotia" or something like that. Then at the end says "I always wanted to stand on a lake of beer, but not like this."

Then there's one of the first ones they aired waaaaaay back where the guy's peeling off the label and the Newfie says something about how Alexander Keith used to personally draw all the labels by hand without tracing.

"Stacey's Mom" is playing

Completely off topic, but that reminded me of that song from a few years ago. Remember, "Stacey's mom, has got it going on" and the music video with the kid fantasizing about the girl's mom *shudder*

Um..honey..that IS the song. Hence the name "Stacey's mom". o_O;

Oh, sorry. I thought you ment that the ad had this girl named Stacey and her mom was playing, as in playing in the soccer game. Now I get what the ad was about....
.....sorry, I am so not understanding words here 0___o

That would be for Sunny Delight orange drink.

The one commercial that's now stuck in my head was the Capital One commercials featuring David Spade. The one where there are "1,000 Ways to Say No"!

"I predict a no-storm, S"ain't" happening, N.O., a-no-ha, nonka!"

Of course, you'll have to watch his SNL skits to get the joke.

No, it's not. It's an ad for Dr. Pepper. I see this damn commercial all the time.

Those commercials sound hilarious. I love Dr Pepper, but I have not seen any commercials for it in ages. Though I must say that the Hanson Dr Pepper commercial from something like ten years ago or so (probably more than that) was so adorable. They were singing the old Dr Pepper jingle "Dr Pepper, you're a part of me".

One that just popped in my head that I just remembered was part of the Subway new toasted subs line of commericals that have been airing the past few months. In this one, a girl is walking home with a couple of guys building a snowman and are making fun of the girl. She walks in her house and her mom tells her that she bought her favorite sub for her, which just happened to be one of the toasted subs. She grins and goes back outside and says that the snowman looks hungry, the boys nod, and she places the sub in the snowman's hands. The boys look happy for a breif moment but then the snowman starts melting away and they run away screaming with the girl watching with a manicial look on her face. XD

Two of mine I've been meaning to post. One is recent. It's a montage of one girl repeatedly introducing herself to guys in front of various Las Vegas hotels.

"Hi, I'm Cindy!"
"Hi, I'm Jan!"
"Hi, I'm Marcia"
"I'm Monica"
"Hi there, I'm Rachel"
"I'm Phoebe"
"Hi, I'm Samantha."
And the last one is her and a friend hitting on two guys:

"Hi, I'm Ginger."
Guy: "Ginger? I'm Norm and this is my buddy Cliff."

And this one is from 1999:

Scene: New York City. A businessman gets into a cab and, in a deep Southern accent, says "Airport!" A speaker in the cab says, "Hi, this is Joe Torre, manager of the New York Yankees, reminding you to buckle up." (NYC cabs actually had local celebrities doing that) The businessman is enraged, saying "I'm sick and tired of hearing about the damn Yankees! Atlanta Braves, team of the decade." Meanwhile, the camera shows the cabbie's licence, with his picture in a Yankee cap. The cab stops and the businessman pays and leaves, only when he gets out, he's in a dark alley with nothing identifiable around. From the dark a butch drag queen comes up and says to him, "Oh, honey, you look lost!"

I cannot remember what this commercial was advertising, but I love it. The Americans/Canadians were trying to communicate with the Japanese via sattelite. All they could say was "konnichiha!" and the Japanese were all like "WTF?" I thought it was hilarious XD Anyone know which commerical I'm referring to and what it was advertising?

I think that was for some kind of automated videoconferencing equipment. Maybe Microsoft or IBM.
