What's your favorite commercial?

This one used to show during bull riding and makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it. I also love the truck commercial where the guy restores an old Ford and gives it to his dad (sniff,sniff).

The Tom Lasorda World Series commercials. . .I loved them and felt there should have been more of them, including a Yankee one, where he talks A-Rod out of hanging himself. . .oops. . .a tad too late. . .

I always laugh at the guy who works with monkeys. Always. Especially when they all point their laser pointers at his weiner.

Oh I like silly commercials, like the geico caveman ones.

Hey, I was gonna say the Geico caveman ones... especially the one at the airport... : ) I also love the identity theft ones, with the voice-overs (from Citibank, I think?). It lifts and separates...

Running of the Squirrels

The boat motor reminds me of The Rescuers, where the dragonfly that ferries them around in their leaf boat is named "Evinrude."

The new Coors Light ones with the fake press conferences with old coaches, because my friend is one of the guys in them. Also the beer one that does Man Law.

I love the Royksopp song in the Geico airport commercial. I'd love to see that guy without the caveman makeup - he looks like he might be kind of cute.

I love the caveman one where the cat is running and arrows are hitting the wall behind him!

There was one last year for an SUV, I think Suzuki. It was a lame commercial, in that it was trying to say that you don't need to be all rock'n'roll OUTDOORSMAN to own an SUV, but I just liked the last line where the mild-mannered suburban dad looks at the Extreme Sports rock-climbing dude, notices his Celtic armband tattoo and says, "Nice tattoo. Real original."
'Cause I hate those tattoos.

This Amp'd Mobile commercial is pretty funny. A business casual dude gets caught rapping in the mirror of the office bathroom.

I can't remember which company it was, but someone here linked to a hilarious commercial in which a guy's daughter leans into the car window just as a cop car pulls up and flashes its lights.

You're lucky most of you don't get liquor ads. I hate all of them, but Johnnie Walker currently has a campaign with pretentious robots that is driving me batty. (One here.) Curses on the ad copywriter who once read "I Robot".

I can't think of any ads I like right now.

I like the Geico Caveman airport commercial too. Mostly because of the song.

The only Geico ads I see are with the gecko; no cavemen and that makes me sad. But speaking of cavemen, I like the milk cavemen ads - dude gets smished by dinosaurs!

I kinda like the Johnnie Walker ad, taz. Or maybe it's just the robot's voice. Rawr!
