Commercials You Love/Like/Don't Hate

That black lady is married to a fat white man who can’t do laundry but has two completely black kids who are insomniacs and one completely white kid.

I like the Walgreens ad with the 4 older ladies playing golf; one takes a swing at the ball and hits a good one. As her friends cheer her on, the woman does this adorable little dance, swinging her arms and hips. She just looks so jazzed and happy for herself.

[quote]I like the commercial with Clarence Frogman Henry singing "I Don't Know Why I Love You But I Do" -- I love the song and it's a pleasure to hear it so often when they play the commercial constantly. I'm not sure what they're trying to sell

Funny, I love that rendition of "I Don't Know Why I Love You But I Do" and my ears perk up when I hear it during the commercial...but I also have no idea what they're selling.

I have to say, even though they play them over and over, I never tire of the Allstate Insurance commercials with the "mayhem" actor. The guy is fascinating to watch. He should be doing films.

I like the commercial, something about “I don’t know why I love you but I do”. It seems like the commercial in R1, but there is a dog.

I hate that smug women with smooth skin shilling shea (?) butter, coco butter, and coconut butter.

They've spent millions on the ad campaign and we have no idea what they're selling. But we do like the song.

All of yous who don’t know what they’re selling are idiots.

And yous a jerk, R6.

The one for Hormel canned chili, which shows a man, wife and teen daughter dancing in their kitchen after making chili dogs. Their dance moves are really over the top and hilarious, especially the woman - they show some obviously fake legs kicking up in crazy directions which are supposed to show how happy these chili dogs make this family.

It looks like he's a second husband with a white stepdaughter...

The whippet is cute.

The Chanel #5 commercial set to "I Don't Want to Set The World on Fire".

Directed by Ridley Scott and evidently won him Blade Runner.

"Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?"

It was years before I realized what the question was...

r1, the white guy might be their stepdad, who knows?

I like the commercial. I agree with OP - love that song!

That Liberty Mutual one, liberty, liberty, LIBERTY! So annoying!

[R12] with the puppet? Yes! Annoying and unfunny!

I used to love the commercial you're talking about, OP. But since I've now seen it 3,000 times I'm loving it less. It's for Expedia. BTW that dog needs to GO OUT.

I like the commercial with people at a cocktail party with a Dean Martin record faintly in the background. Don't remember the product.

I love the one I nearly don't see enough of with Ella Fitzgerald singing "Oops!" for Smirnoff's. The original record with Louis (pronounced "Louie" btw) Armstrong:

The Allstate commercial featuring Mayhem (Dean Winters) as a cat. No matter how many times i see it, it always cracks me up. Having said that, Allstate really ruined the concept by making another commercial but including Tina Fey with Mayhem as a dog.

That Expedia commercial always makes me smile. Every pet owner alive recognizes the loving look exchanged between the bathing beauty and her dog.

There is another ad in this campaign in which the family appears to be celebrating the Whippet's birthday.

This thread makes me yearn for the old women Volkswagen commercials. We need them in the era of Trump!

I'm GEN X, and I want to love EDM, so I'm happy Major Lazer's (remade) song got some traction in that Volvo commercial. I still think of Depeche Mode and Erasure when I think of EDM. I saw Deadmau5 at a festival a couple of years ago and was completely confused; I am definitely old.

Creepy Audry on the Jardiance commercial, she's scary to me. Like a possessed robot.

[quote]The Allstate commercial featuring Mayhem (Dean Winters) as a cat. No matter how many times i see it, it always cracks me up.

He's so into it, everything he does. He really pops through the screen.

Mayhem (Dean Winters) and Fey are micro movies.

I love the Geiko raccoons - They steal the dump truck and go crazy.

R21 Oh yeah - I love when she says 'I just saw you eat poop' and she says it so quietly you almost miss it!

No, you're an old lady...

I love any ad with raccoons

I'm old enough to remember when EDM was called House music. Listen to some old school Chicago house. Just google it, you won't be disappointed r18.

I will google it, r26. Thank you for the recommendation! I refuse to believe I'm too old to enjoy new(to me) music.

how old are we, liking commercials?

A PSA for foster kids starts with the family bringing home a teenaged foster child. As he comes in the front door, he sees an array of pictures and focuses on a photo of the family. The ad shows the family playing together in the front yard, dining, and the kid seems to be doing okay. He comes home one day and notices the photo has been replaced with a new one that includes him. He goes to the kitchen and hugs his foster mother. They don't say anything.

I teared up.

1 877 kars for kids

like the human centipede, it is what it is

R30 should be shot.

Just saw one for Delta faucets with a guy getting into his shower all drowsy and half awake, then the water from his Delta shower head hits him and he starts dancing. He's shown through the steamy glass door, throwing his legs around, doing spins and back bends. I enjoyed this.

That Clarence Frogman Henry song is so great. At least maybe these commercials will expose old music to a new generation. I wonder if their family gets the royalties?

Love the expression on the whippet!

Love the "struggling actor" in the full "Liberty Mutual" commercial! ("Liberty, biberty!" "Line!" "Maybe I could come out of the water...." "We'll dub it.")

Love the "Mayhem Man"! ("It's my son's favorite color. You should try it.")

Love, love, love the foraging raccoons! ("I don't want to taste it! I have a very sensitive palate.")

"Hi-eeeee.....Bye-eeeee". You can't believe how fast I can hit the "mute" button!

I love the Shriner Hospital commercials, they really make me feel privileged and feel sorry

I like the one with twink Steven sneaking into a house to get laid. He means to go into his boyfriend’s window, but ends up in the boyfriend’s sister’s room with Dad perving on him.

This one...

There is a car dealership, in my area, that has recently partnered with Truecar.com, where you can sell them your car. They are running commercials constantly, calling the service Clickaroo. The ads are annoying because the woman, has a strange accent, it is like a mixture of Australian and a New Jersey accent.

Ugh. The weirdly homophobic Jake From State Farm commercial. The slightly drunk husband clutching the phone, "You'd do that for me, really..." and the frau wife catching him in the act. It's been on constant rotation lately. Curdles my blood every time. Fuck State Farm.

R39, if you could buy a car with extra commas, you’d be in luck!

This one is annoying and is constantly on streaming services. If you watch it without the sound, it looks even weirder. The wife is clearly a lesbian and the husband gay. Without the sound it looks like a lesbian chubby chaser is trying to seduce the two fat women. And, then they discover their DL husbears "experimenting" in the guestroom. Also, the one guy sitting at the head of the bed really looks like he is traumatized, like he just witnessed something he wasn't prepared for. I guess if you are in a lavender marriage, you have to have a purple mattress.

Geiko Pinnochio -- As the motivational speaker, and trying to talk his way out of the parking ticket. Brilliant!

Those and the dating app picture, r43.

I have a major celluloid crush on that cute CVS Concierge ("Me Again"). Adorable. Wish I could find a link.

The three Watts brothers being chastised by their mom as they argue in the back seat of the car. Adorable and so fucking hot. Whew!.

"Bow Wow Wow" - E Trade commercial.

That old dykey looking woman in the Downy Unstoppables commercial, scares me.

R48, I'm low line fascinated/repulsed by that commercial- she's like the Scent Nazi.

Geico - the man who was raised by wolves.

The Liberty Mutual Emu. LIMU EMU. And its blonde-wigged emu wife.

R49 Me, too. She scares yet fascinates me.

I get a kick out of the Geico gecko trying to convince the new neighbor that those "biscuits/cookies" are from:

"My Mum's secret recipe."

"Nutmeg?"

"Cinnamon?"

"It's a secret!"

I like the singing fish. Great voice.

I like the one for GM where they’re asking kids about the features of the car.

The little kid that struggles to say “Lane Departure Warning” is cute as a button. And his mispronunciation is adorable.

Posted this on another thread.

I think I'm in love with the man swimming in the pool.

Yes R34, that guy is brilliant.

As someone upthread said, it's good when they place a catchy tune in the ad.

Recently discovered that Rhythm is a Dancer song, so the TD commercial of the Bank Manager alone is one of my faves right now!

The guy at R34 and r57 is hot and the commercial is hysterical.

“Line!”

I love the Range Rover commercial with the little dog who sticks his head out the car window and the early-sixties-soul type song playing in the background.

I’ll have to keep an eye out for that one, r60. Sounds good.

Here you go, R61:

[quote]Geiko Pinnochio -- As the motivational speaker, and trying to talk his way out of the parking ticket.

R43 I lose it every time when he breaks the front window with his nose, then his growing nose honks his horn and the woman in the background is so startled. That ad makes me laugh outloud which is more than any sitcom I've seen lately.

R50, I think the wolves are the star of that commercial, but the southern lady's accent is so perfect!

Kelloggs "We Do Breakfast"

I like the CarMax/Limp Bizkit ad solely for the little girl in the backseat who keeps lp synching "like a chump... like a chump."

*lip

Nat West "This is how we do it".

Love that little girl! She's so cool.

Still a fan of the Matthew McConaughey Lincoln commercials

I cosign R56.

That man is a hot DILF

Love the cute guy in glasses in the new owl commercial -- playing putt putt. Great legs/body in the long shots. I am getting a new admiration for cute nerd types.

I liked the “cable guy” in the commercials for the same company. He stirred my loins.

“Dude, not my department.”

AND the blonde with glasses on the weight bench, of course. Someone on our team is clearly casting and doing a great job at it.

Baby Mr Peanut.

Flo's still got it .

She's great in the club with Karaoke Jamie and the new Faking Hideous Laugh colleague. "Why'd you stop? I was listening!"

And with Bigfoot: "Now they're busy with other things, Bigfoot." "My name is Daryl."

Just saw a commercial for Walmart that used "Heroes" by David Bowie as the background music. I know Walmart is problematic for some people, but there's none in my area so they don't get my money, but I love that song so much that I give them a small pass. Also, they made me a little misty with this ad, as they showed all of their employees who are still working during the virus and I appreciate that.

Carl, the guy in the Selsun Blue commercial, hot, with great pits.

I think Ian Bell does a great job on the American Cancer Society commercial. He really did recover from Cancer so the entire piece reads like an ad lib confessional.

Really like this one

I’m in lust with Mr. Jones from the Spectrum mobile ads. I’d happily pay his phone bill.

R79, that commercial wound up on the “Commercials You Hate” thread.

You in danger, gurl.

I watch I Love Lucy on the Hallmark Channel and one commercial break was for an upcoming romance movie. I liked the commercial because of the music they played - the song was "As" by Stevie Wonder. It was nice to hear this urban classic and even though the "beat" of it was a little strange for this channel, the lyrics worked very well for the type of film: "As around the sun the earth knows it's revolving and the rosebuds know to bloom in early May. Just as hate knows love's the cure, you can rest your mind assured that I'll be love you always".

The new Progressive commercial featuring a Zoom meeting is terrific. They must have a great ad agency.

And the follow-up.

Very moist snack cake. Loving the eyes and arms.

I like this and I love metal guys with great hair. Missing the gigs.

This one is several years old but I loved the song and whole vibe of the ad for Southern Comfort.

Another ad that sticks out to me that I enjoyed. Funny thing is the song is a Bollywood song sung by the most celebrated male vocal artist of India, Mohammed Rafi, but this particular song is virtually unremembered there, as opposed to his masterpieces. It apparently has a cult following in the West.

There's one for this P3 protein snack - those packs that give you a few nuts, a spoon of raisins and 2-3 squares of cheese to keep you going between meals. This ad shows a wedding and the bride dancing with her father. Then the music changes and it shows Dad freestyle dancing in his suit pants, dress shirt and suspenders. The actor does a great job with his moves - it's hilarious. s the commercial ends, you see the dad is just getting into position to do some break dancing.

I'm not surprised they pulled this toilet paper commercial. People were more offended that this white dad had a black daughter than the fact that he used an entire roll of toilet paper to say I'm sorry.

I like the Geico commercial with the family that has a Ratt problem.

As an ancient eldergay, I have to tell you how pleased I am to hear the dulcet tones of Hank Williams singing "Hey, Good Lookin'" wafting out of my large screened TV machine on a regular basis these days. I go back so far that I can remember hearing it coming out of the high boy radio that had to be warmed up after it was turned on.

Just saw an ad for a product called Feliway, which seems to be some kind of cat tranquilizer disguised as a plug-in air freshener(!?) The commercial shows a couple sitting in their living room - the man starts ripping at the couch arm with a fork and the woman shouts "Todd! Stop!!". The voice-over says 'you wouldn't tolerate if HE did it so don't tolerate if your cat does it'. Then they show the woman plugging this thing into a wall outlet. The ad is funny, showing a human mimicking feline bad habits.

I like the chubby daddy in this Canadian commercial for Rona hardware.

Now that summer has kicked in, Subway has its "Five Dollar Foot-Long" ad campaign, and there's something about the simple, repetitive music which I find intoxicating: it almost seems designed to mesmerize you and get you to buy one.

R32 And his furry pits. ....

That clogging commercial is excruciating, I prefer the couple with 'the Ratt problem', they have a rock band in their house, that's much funnier.

R97 As a fat gay aunt, I'm loving the commercial with The Ants. I have often invaded the homes of my nephews.

R87 Thank you! I never saw it in real time but I love it now.

I love the simple guitar jingle in the Lowe's ad. Less than 10 notes. Perfection.

United Airlines -1988 - the combination of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Gene Hackman.

Fuck it, doesn't get better.

I hope this is a better link...

R102 I also watched the United commercial that came on via autoplay after the one you linked to, and was wondering whose lamebrain idea it was to advertise transatlantic flights with the airliner appearing to be at the bottom of the ocean? Crazy.

Love this one...

The Dionne Warwick Psychic Friends Commercial owns this thread.

R104 I liked that one at first, but they're OVERPLAYING it. With all the art direction and costuming that went into it, they maybe should have produced some different versions?
