Commercials

I'll start with the ones I really like:

The Geico commercials with that little Gecko lizard. He cracks me up.

Capital One with the marauding hooligans.

The ones I hate so much I change the station are for MasterCard with that whiny voiced announcer who rattles off outrageous prices for things and then sums it up with "priceless". Every time I hear his voice I want to smack him across the face with a rubber mallot like Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.

Any SUV commercial that personifies the dumbing down of America and gas guzzling stupidity.

I think ESPN is a bunch of a-holes who conduct the sports equivalent of yellow-journalism; they foster the problems in sports, then devote show after show to how to fix those problems.

That said,I've always thought their Sportscenter commercials are the best out there. I like the Manning family touring the studio, with Peyton and Eli hitting each other, and Archie looking back at them. Stone Cold getting whacked with a folding chair by Dan Patrick is a good one as well.

Every time that commercial for "American Freight" (it's a local company, I think) comes on I either hit the mute button or change the channel. I absolutely hate that screaming idiot that does the commercial. They could not pay me enough to set foot in one of those stores. [img]mad.gif[/img] [img]mad.gif[/img] [img]mad.gif[/img]

I like the commercial GL talks about too.

I really hate it when they interupt the commercials with those pesky tv programs. [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]

I'll tell you the one I wish I had on tape is from back in the day. Kash Amburgy had a commercial that featured a youthful Gae wearing a cheerleader uniform and chanting "Save Cash with Kash." That was hot.

LewBaby, does Mrs. Lew know you're so fixated on someone who is old enough to be your mother?

Trav is a race fan, and I will often read through the left turns and pay attention to the commercials. Some of them are great.

My favorite commercial of all time was from back in the 90s. It was a lady lounging on a raft in a cove and an elephant swims underneath, takes her Coke and leaves a trunk full of peanuts in payment. The old music on it was awesome. I managed to record about 3/4 of that commercial and have it appropriately enough on a tape of a documentary on Guy Lombardo. More than anything else the music in that commercial really struck a chord with me. I think I was born about 60 yrs too late....
