[up][up][up][up] Even though the punchline can be expected from the beginning, it's still funny nevertheless [lol]

[up][up] Both of them are sweet, I always like heartwarming commercials like that (as long as it didn't venture into Glurge).

[up] James Earl Jones and Malcolm McDowell in a commercial? Why can't all commercials be like that..

I'm not sure whether this one's about manliness or Female Gaze.

I'd once had a link to some deeply disturbing commercials, along with generic You Tube videos of the same ilk. Would you like me to find it?

My favorite commercial? Probably this one.

This ad is for a local air conditioning company, but I think it deserves to be shared with the world. I like to think this is how David Lynch would sell A Cs.

Been a while but I have seen some amusing commercials on the tv recently.

My current favs are the Duluth Trading Co. Mens and Womens work wear.

Did you ever wonder how it would look if Disney made a Bra Ad?

Worst: Every GEICO ad ever. They oversell their gags well past the breaking point, make cheesy references that only three people will get on the premise of "this existed, so it's funny", and abuse cutaway gags like nobody's business. It's a lot like watching Family Guy, except minus the over-the-top vulgarity and ham-fisted soapboxing against certain religious and/or political beliefs.

I rather like the Biotene commercials. There's something amusingly retro about them. :)

This one has to be up there at the moment for best commercial, or at least the one embedded in this webpage:

I've adored this one ever since I saw someone post it... can't remember if it was on TVT or Tumblr, but it is adorable.

This commercial seems charming and a little funny at first. But watch it through to the very end. Think about the video how things have gone up to the end. Then consider the context of the conclusion of the companies tag line at the end.

I've seen that commercial and have always had that uncomfortable bit of Fridge Logic at the end. "I'm never letting go," does that mean he's going to be forced to let go? Suddenly, the life he didn't expect is perfect for him, but something's going to happen - the wife will leave him and take the kids or something? He's going to chase strange and let go on his own? I mean... Wt F commercial? You're trying to be cute, but you've lead us down this narrative whereby whatever the guy says, the opposite happens!

I like the "$5!" song for Little Caesar's more than the one for Subway. ^_^;;

[up]That's part of the joke. They're basically making a Suspiciously Similar Song to mock the fact that Subway no longer has five-dollar footlongs. (I think the least expensive is $5.25 now.)

I like this one as well:

There's something very funny about a guy in a business suit jacket, shirt, tie, and denim hotpants. And I'm sure that one or two of the Pussycat Dolls actually shows up in the vid too.
