What's your favorite TV commercial?

There are some amazing commercials out there, most of which are better than the actual shows.

Excluding the New G5 commercials, :) what's your current favorite?


Anyone else seen the Converse commercial with the ball moving around on the court and Mos Def doing the voice over? It's hot.

Since the New G5 commercial is horrible anyway...These get my vote: link.

I guess it goes to show that I don't watch that much TV. Don't remember seeing any of these on TV. I agree that these are great commercials, classic!
 
Favorite annoying commerical

What is the product being advertised with the lyrics:

"You're my Koochy Woochy one..." The voice is some Euro sounding guys voice.

The images are all soft and fuzzy, bunnys babys and ducklings. I can't recall if it is Downy, Snuggle or Charmin, or it might be something else.

All I know is the jingle bugs me and I can't get it out of my head.
 
the words

hey do u know the words to the converse commercial where the ball is bouncing around the court and mos deaf is doing the voice over or where i can get them to that commercial?
thanx
 
I can't think of any particularly good ones that I've seen recently, but here goes for vote for the weirdest one.

A few ducks fly past. The screen then fills with a fact about ducks. Then we see more ducks fly past. Then another fact about ducks. Then more ducks fly past. This goes on and on for like 2 minutes! Then the ducks all start quacking, and that's the end of the ad. I never did figure out what it was trying to advertise.

Another ad that I don't understand the logic behind - here in NZ we have a big monopolistic telco (think MS) called Telecom. Telecom isn't the only telco but they certainly have most of the market. Anyway, they run ads, usually featuring animals doing funny or stupid things, then it comes up with a Telecom logo. They don't advertise any particular product or service, just the company.

What I don't understand is why they're advertising their company. Everyone in NZ knows who Telecom is, so there's no reason to advertise. Maybe they're trying to get more customers? But the people who aren't using Telecom made a conscientious decision to go with the competition, and aren't about to suddenly switch back just because of an ad.

Weird

Anyone else kinda freaked out by the recent commercials from Subway? The one where the guy is out washing his car, wearing a cheerleader uniform and dancing around really makes me lose my appetite.
 
Mercedes Benz "Reincarnation" Commercial

One of my favorites is the Mercedes-Benz "Reincarnation" commercial. I tried the mercedes-benz website with the link provided earlier in the thread (8-11-03)...but they have since updated the site.

Does anyone have or know where I can find the Mercedes-Benz "Reincarnation" Commercial?

I realize I am asking for the commercial way after the fact, but if anyone could help me find it, I would really appreciate it.
 
When I was very little, there used to be commericial for Bufferin, where they would compare it with regular aspirin by showing two glass water-filled figurines, one with each type of tablet in its stomach. The tablets would sort of disintegrate, migrate upward and gradually appear reassembled in the figurines' heads (with the BUfferin reassembling faster).

The reassembly part is what really amazed me, I even tried putting aspirin into a glass of water at home (yes, Mom was incredibly patient) but it just kind of disintegrated into a little heap at the bottom.

It was a real letdown when I learned about amination.
 
My favorite is one I've only seen because of a posting by a fellow MacRumors contributor. It is one of a series of Trojan ads run in the UK. It is entitled "Pelvic Power Lifting" and is for "mature" audiences only. You've been warned.

Trojan Ad
 
mercedes commercial

does anyone know where i can find the mercedes-benz 'reincarnation' commercial? i have been looking for months, and i still can't find it. any help would be most appreciated.
 
The VW commercial from a while back that had the guy driving to interrupt the wedding of his ex. It had 'Renaissance Affair' by Hooverphonic as the soundtrack......tried to find it but it's no longer on VW's website.
 
There's a couple out there I like. the one if for a car (I want to say Kia, but I'm not sure). It starts out, guy walks out of apartment and looks at his decrepit looking ride. Guy looks around suspiciously, to see if anybody is watching. Guy takes off CAR COVER designed to look like decrepit looking car. Guy then climbs in his new car, and drives away. I get a laugh every time I see it.

I also like that ford commercial where the cat gets its head cut off. :D
 
John West

I can't beleive no one has mention John West Salmon commercial. The one with the man fighting the bear????? Come on that one is Hilarious.
 
Two come to mind, one being the MB "Reincarnation" ad.

The other, I have only seen once.

It was a weeks after 9/11. There was a Budweiser commerical that showed the Clydesdale (sp?) horses trotting through the snow for a good 20 seconds.

Right at the end of the commerical, they stop and stand across the water from NYC, where the WTC towers used to be. It shows a close up of the first horse's face, and sort of slowly zooms in on his eyes. He then bows his head to the ground, and the rest of the horse bow their heads after him.

It completely gave me chills. Great, great, commercial.

If anyone knows where I could find it, I would appreciate it.
 
yeah that Nike chicken one was great...but i have to say my favourite for a long time has to be for Circuit City. This guy gets out of bed, and everywhere he goes in his house there's a TV with a soccer game on, even in his drawer and in the shower. just the way he celebrates the goal at the end, is just classic. awesome.
 
what was that ad?

there is this mercedes benz commercial that says "life should be the other way round, then shows a old man turning to a middle aged man...
what is the name of this commercial?
 
What's The Name Of This Commercial????

Back a few years ago, mercedes had a a very cool commercial advertising the S-Class. It went like this. A man woke up to auto opening blinds, went to his closet to an auto tie selector, went to his kitchen where his tv turned on automatically, grabbed his keyless-go card, went out to his s class, touched the door handle, got in and pressed the button on the shift to start the car, pulled on the voice control lever and selected a track, drove down his drive way, opened the window and clapped to turn on his sprinklers. Then at the end of the commercial it said "Like No Other". PPLEASE someone tell me what the commercial is, because i'm dying to know.

I realize I'm responding way after the fact, but I found this thread in a Google search trying to find the very commercial you are trying to find. I found it after about 2 hours of searching and I uploaded it to YouTube for you, and everyone else who requested to see it! Enjoy guys! :)

anyone remember a nissan commercial (i think it was shown in the movies mostly) where you see a car speeding at like 90 mph in europe or something from the car's point of view. i always thought that was pretty cool
 
Haha, you'd think it would get old after a while, but Yogi Berra has been on that Aflac commercial for a long time saying "They give you cash, which is just as good as money!" The facial expressions on everybody's faces after Yogi says anything are priceless!

I also like those Mastercard Peyton Manning commercials, "*duh-nuh-na-nuh, na-nuh* CHARLIE!" "d-caf! *boom boom* d-caf! *boom boom*" "Cut that meat! Cut that meat!"

Jack in the Box always has some good commercials too, with the "chipotle! chi..poht..loh? chipotle! chip-a-chop-lay?" and the one with the "afternoon pick-me-up" cheerleader! :D :p :eek:
