Great TV Commercials thread!There are a lot of funny, touching and amazing tv commercials out there, so I thought I would start a thread to honor them!!!(or make fun of them!! HeeHee...) I just saw the Mastercard one where the zookeeper sneezes and the elephant takes his card and buys him soup and medicine and, with a spider monkeys' help, takes care of him at home!!! Pretty cool.... I also like the one where the guy trips, and starts a ball of people, cars,wedding folks etc....as it rolls down San Francisco streets... Groovy!!!

God...I hate commercials. But there are some pretty clever ones out there. I like the Geico caveman commercials, lol.
But this one is the worst: Head On, apply directly to the forehead! Head On, apply directly to the forehead! Head On, apply directly to the forehead! |

I hate all the adverts about loans...They make it look like an easy way to get 'free' money...they neglect to tell you that it will cost you twice the amount you borrowed...at least!.....Or it will end up costing you your house.... | ||
| gort |
The 'free' credit report one bugs me!!
SUCH A LIE!!!! Consumers are idiots, and that's what they count on...... |

Oh DEAR GOD, a whole thread about annoying waste of time adverts. | ||
| frys_red_jacket |
i think some adverts can be quite funny, at first i thought the lynx advert was funny at first (where this old bloke goes into the bathroom and sprays on some lynx, he comes out and this youngish woman sniffs him, starts saying this random chica bow wow stuff and rips off his clothes) but now its been on so many times im sick of seen it | ||

I like some commercials better than some shows.....and they are a cottage industry!
A good commercial is a work of art......some ad creators have gone on to direct, do music videos, and do special effects for movies. They're only a waste of time if they suck...... |

| Guest |

| 1B-DI |
I thought it was hilarious, but I kinda felt bad for the little guy who was dancing and singing (squealing?). I hope they paid him a lot, that commercial is gonna kill his social life

Ridley Scott....Gladiator, Bladerunner etc....did one of the most famous commercials, Predy....
The Apple, hammer in the screen, 1984 style one. |

I always crack up when It shows a car driving on the edge of a building, or people forming human chains over the ocean, or something wild like that.....

||
| 1B-DI |
Yeah, really! Or the Barbie commercials that say "Barbie does not actually walk/talk/etc" Those crack me up! | ||

True.....I hated the Transformers/toy sales dealio......but the trailer looks good...
Surprise to me....... |
||
| Guest |
I personally dont know why everyone wants to see the transformers that much.
Just Like in Clerks II Elias: Since God created man, and man created the Transformers, the Transformers are like a gift from God, Randal! Randal Graves: No sir. They are not a gift from God. They are an unholy curse from the beast we call the Desolate One. |

I actually groaned when I saw the trailer for the Transformers movie.
Nope, not gonna see it. |
