Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 15, 2004 Red Stripe, it's beer! Hooray beer! Yeah the newer Red Stripe commercials with the jamaican guys are great, and they're rarely shown. The recent Guinness ads are pretty good as well. "GENIUS!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted November 16, 2004 Jack in the Box has a zillion commercials I love. (The one with the doctor talking about how healthy their new chedder cheese fries are come to mind) another one I think of when I think great commercial is the commercial for the first Evil Dead video game. Oh and the first WWF superbowl commercial was gold. Edit: Oh and I love the Aflac Duck, so you all can eat me. (note if Michael Moore is reading I revoke that offer) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cerebus Report post Posted November 16, 2004 ESPN commercials are usually fucking great. The latest Sportscenter commercial with the mascot sitting in the waiting room next to the guy bouncing a ball on his tennis racket had me laughing quite a bit. But that's probably because I think mascots are the funniest things on Earth second only to monkies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 One of the all time greatest commercials, still, is the Robert Loggia orange juice commercial. I forget the brand of OJ that was involved, but it was still hilarious. Mom: Billy, why won't you drink your orange juice? Billy: I don't want to! Mom: Well, is there anyone who could convince you to drink your orange juice? Billy: I don't know.....Robert Loggia? *Robert Loggia suddenly walks into the kitchen via the backdoor* Loggia: Drink your orange juice, kid. It's good. *Billy eagerly starts drinking juice* Billy: Thanks, Mr. Loggia! Absolute GOLD, every time I see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 That Pepsi Twist commercial from a couple years ago was pretty funny. It had a black dude but damned if I remember who it was, and he was with Hallie Eisenberg. I only remember bits and pieces, but the end made me laugh *shilling* Hallie: "...but I'm not really Hallie Eisenberg *unzip* I'm Halle Berry" Guy: *gets "mhmm" look on face* *more shilling* Halle: "But I'm not really Halle Berry *unzip* I'm Barry Bostwick!" Guy: "...who's Barry Bostwick?" *Barry just shrugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 Going back to the worst commercials as of late (inspired by my listening to the radio this morning) I'm tired of all the Viagra and artificial testosterone (e.g. Testosene or whatever) commercials on the radio and TV ("Wild Thing"?) While I know it's a situation I may have to face some day, I do not want to hear about 40-50 year old men rediscovering their sexual vigor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 Wild Thing, is that you? I'm sure the commercial works in terms of targeting its demographic, but you're right -- I HATE that commercial, as well as most, if not all, of those "boner" commercials. "My guy takes Levitra."

NYU 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 Personally, I hate that recent Taco Bell commercial with the Zesty Chicken Bowl, or whatever they're calling it these days. Maybe it's just because I've worked in fast food before, but I find the promo particularly annoying. The workers can't start making it until someone orders it, so what does one hilarious customer do in front of his girlfriend? Why, he PRETENDS to order it, just so he could see this kid earning minimum-wage run back and forth, not sure of what to do. Then, at the end, we're supposed to be pleased that this guy got his comeuppance - because his unrealistically good-looking girlfriend PRETENDED to give him a piece of chicken but then ate it herself. Oh, cruel irony! This guy must have surely learned the error of his ways! Just terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha. I wondered that myself. Plus, I think that herpes chick will be typecast as a result. Bob Ryan, is that you? Nah, there's already too many white guys posing as sports reporters. And I must admit, I like the "Think outside the bun" line Taco Bell has, and some of their older commercials in this campaign were good, but it's time to come up with something new...

Special K 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2004 I happen to like the 'selfish player' Bud commercials. Also Ray Lewis draggin back the yellow line. "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? HNYEARGH!" Gotta agree with the chicken bowl commercial. He should have gotten slapped in the face with some scalding beans. Geico's parody commercials have been pretty spot on, in imitation if nothing else.

Guest Smues Report post Posted November 16, 2004 There's a set of anti-teen pregenancy ads running up here that make me laugh. They run back to back. They both have a big guy in a shirt that says "sex" on it. In the first one some one is trying to get into a building but the guy in the sex shirt holds him back and kicks his ass and it says "Sex holds you back." Then the next one the guy is on a skateboarding and the guy in the Sex shirt tackles him and runs off with the skateboard "Sex takes things away." Unintentional comedy gold. As for those Truth ads....yee gods do I hate those. I've e-mailed them a few times and the response is always something like "So you aren't on board with us eh? Well that's cool. " Then they throw in some Did You Know Tobacco fact and end with something about it being crazy. However, their first ads, Splode, H-bombs, etc. Were fucking gold. I miss those.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Am I just a perv, or does anyone else see the unintentional (i assume) humor in the new Holiday Gap commercials with Sarah Jessica Parker? The bit of seemingly unintentional humor comes at the end of the ad. SJP while opening a gift box says "How do you share it" followed by the Gap logo a few seconds later.

Just go to Ralley's or Zip (if they have those anymore) or Steak n' Shake if there's any of those near you, it's pretty much the same thing.
