Favorite Commercials

[Back2Good]

The great Earl Campbell's Skoal commercial from 1980 - Got me started on a terrible habit that a 4-year hitch in the Army, then college football only made worse (I've long since switched to Copenhagen Long Cut Wintergreen), but great commercial.

I think now it is funny where the woman comes in and wants treatment on her aging hands. "Marges puts her hands into a bowl and they say something like wow.. this feels so smooth... an Marge claims.. 'You know you are soaking your hands in dish-washing liquid" The woman tries to pull her hands out and Marge says.. "Relax.. It's Palmolive" That is funny. As if she didn't get enough experience with that at home.. Not everyone had a dishwasher back then, I wonder what came later... That will be $14.95 for your hand treatment? lol. Must have worked....the ad ran for years.

 I like the new "Drive Time" auto buy commercials.

They fall into the "so-stupid-they-are-funny" category--like the "bro tatochip ones".

The two gals can't hear "credit".  They have a irritating melody which is playing on a turntable in the van carrying a new buyer to the Drive Line car lot. 

One customer reaches up to stop the turntable, or lift the needle, and the lady of color just slaps his hand away and waves no, never changing her maniacal smile/expression. 

I like that one.

it took me a bit, but when i had time to think, i recalled the commercial that i did like.

It was a geico one. The chickens on the farm were all free roaming. They even got to travel and sent pics home to the farm owners.

Technically, I heard the UK comic eddie izzard refer to some very similar thoughts a few years back. Both were good.

I reckon as i am a vegetarian, i really liked that commercial. No chickens were harmed...(and, if they were harmed, please don't force such reality into my spirit now. I would not want to know.)

I remember that Charon.  When I was a kid in Oklahoma, all the chickens were free roaming.  They roamed around the yard, the garden and into he dirt road that was the street.  They made their own way to the roost at night.  Those were the best eggs.  The same dirt road ended in a half block at a corn field.  Every year when the sweet corn was ready to harvest the guy who owned the field would pull out a gigantic cast iron pot, put a fire under it, ans start throwing in the shucked corn.  Everyone in the neighborhood was invited.  Long before GMO and Monsanto.  Free ranging corn, ha.  It's the best.

I like the new new new one selling Subway Sandwiches i think.  It's two used car salesmen at lunch.  Their conversation turns towards who has the best sandwich deal. 

"What's it going to take to get you into this sandwich?" one asks the other.

"Throw in the chips," the other answers.

The first one thrums his fingers on the table, deeply considering the offer.  He bolts from the table saying, "I'm going to have to talk to my manager." 

Love that.

Ok, I detest Liberty Mutual Car insurance companies. I think they stink and lie directly to us.

One I really hate, is a woman whom says, "Did you read your car insurance plan? of course not. Only lawyers do that."

She then says when she is forced to read it, its all: blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Frig her. The amount of schooling required to become an attorney at law especially in NY is daunting.

Yes, I do read entire documents.

But, I never mocked such a stupid female before.

You actually signed up with an insurance company without reading what u were agreeing to?

Then, in that event, all ur words are now, "blah, blah, blah" to me.

Good luck doing ur taxes lady. Drafting wills and health care proxies. Gotta avoid those obnoxious attorneys whom are capable of actually reading the entire document and understanding it.

It just gets on my nerves. Not all attorneys were or are slime. Geeze.

[Charon]

i know. i am always looking at the backdrop.

And, for liberty mutual to replace full value of new car, one must not only use liberty mutual. One must pay a helluva lot more to reap such benefits.

They are certainly annoying.

Ok, least favorite commercials. Most of them.

But, a new one is in NY. It is not one a lady wants to hear. It is by airwick. Some chick is promoting V.I.Poo.

Lord have mercy one is to carry a spray around to seal in odors of one's devils donuts. Whom the hell actually talks that way?

At least airwick is hesitant enough that is is mighty difficult to find out that it is an airwick product.

it just grosses me out.

Many a subject a lady just does not discuss. This commercial deals with one of them. My father always predicted that eventually tv will show people using the ladies room. I know my parents would be OMG also.

Irksome. No one in NY actually would use a public toilet, whom are they kidding? And, if we venture into a public restroom for even one momento, we are more likely to carry our Mace than a can of V.I. Poo.

ugh.

Ha,
I'll be looking for that one boss.  I'll be looking for the class action lawyers' commercial later.
