I found the car one. :D

I used to like the current FIOS commercials - "Mom, I married a clown and we are going to have clown babies" - until they broadcast them so many times that now I want to scream when they come on.

Nope, GG, the car one falls flat for me. I think it has "mean" in it, which doesn't appeal to me.

I must be an old grump. I find most commercials annoying. I don't care for the geico or Jake-at-state-farm commercials. I didnt find the car dealership/lie detector test funny at all.. and I agree with Annie, the commando commercials are awful... as are the charmin bear butts commercials.

I did enjoy this state farm commercial from a year or so ago, "they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true".

I also like the one hhireno mentioned with the kid driving the car! And the girl getting on the school bus-- precious!

I love this one from Progressive that's modeled after an old After School Special (remember those)?

"Aren't you lactose intolerant?"

"This isn't lactose. It's milk."

It's definitely past time to retire Flo.

Aw, no love for Flo? ;-) I like her, just because I like Stephanie Courtney. She's done a lot of other work - I hadn't realized just how much until now.

Herding Cats from the Super Bowl a few years back was one of my favorites. And the Doritos commercial with the guy defending the middle seat on the airplane by trimming his toenails, pretending to have a cold, etc. In fact most of the Doritos commercials I find very creative and funny. I also chuckle at Peyton Manning's Nationwide commercials & laughed at the ones he did with his brother Eli a couple of years ago.

Love the current Geico commercial with the squirrels running amok in the background & Mom talking to her son.

Clysdale commercials. They don't crack me up but I love them. The Travelers commercial few yrs ago with dog worried about his bone. Can you tell I love animals.

Love the Northern toilet tissue spots ... Little Miss Pufftail, Conductor Randy, Sir Froggy, Daddy Gator, etc.

Call me weird, but the Strongbow commercials with Patrick Stewart make me giggle. How dare they treat him that way!

"Sprinkles are for winners"-love. Also love the squirrels and the Peyton Manning Nationwide ads where he sing-talks to their jingle. Brilliant advertising since so often viewers can't remember what humorous ads are selling.

Good thread starter!

This 1 cracked me & hubby up quite recently, but it's not intentionally funny - @ least I don't think it is...

Just when you thought commercials couldn't get any more tasteless

Target had a funny one for Scope a few years ago. A woman's sitting in her kitchen working on a crossword puzzle. Her husband comes in in his pajamas and bed head. He leans over her shoulder for a minute, looking at the crossword puzzle, and then says "17 across--jojoba", emphasizing the H sound. The wife crinkles up her nose. I couldn't stop saying "Jojoba" for days.

There are a couple older Jack-in-the-Box commercials that I found funny and still occasionally quote. One was Jack trying to pronounce "chipotle"--I still pull out chipoodle once in a while--and the other was "Without the bun, your hands would be covered with meat and cheese." Which it a quote that comes in handy every once in a while.

There was a Nissan commercial back in the nineties that used Van Halen's "You Really Got Me" as the soundtrack for an ad where a G.I. Joe-like character driving a Nissan convertible steals Barbie from Ken.

My daughter got a kick out of the Geico commercial featuring a painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware talking to the cat from the "Hang In There Baby" poster.

We like the Stag Party one. Where they turn on the lights and all the deer freeze in place, lights go out and the party continues till lights come on and they freeze again with all sorts of stuff out of place, underware on antlers, furniture in the pool. Funny.

We adore all the Barkley dog family Subaru commercials, genius series.

I loved the dog that just couldn't find a safe place for his bone and the song Trouble was playing throughout the commercial. I think it was a travelers commercial.

Used to like the rapping hamsters in the car ad.

I love the VW commercial where the dad gets out and the boys try to text their mom but end up texting grandma instead.

I am not a Patriots fan but love the commercial with Gronk's brother wearing his jersey.

My favorite of all time is a Carl's Jr commercial. It has a guy in the grocery store, looking at the meat, bewildered. He pushes his finger into the mushy raw hamburger package, like what is this stuff. Then the narrator gives the slogan of "Without us, some guys would starve." Such a hoot.

The camels and Guess What Day It Is! and Mike-Mike-Mike-Mike-Mike.

When those commercials were running strong several years ago, my DS was working in a nearby small town. For some reason, there was a little traveling circus in that town, and he sent me a selfie with a camel in the background behind him. On a Wednesday! Of course, his picture caption was, "Mom, guess what day it is!"

I like Flo! When she dyes her hair blond: "Standing by for fun"

Love those Northern tissue commercials. The Commando and bear family commercials, not so much.

Carol, the Phlegm Ejector is funny!

And the Geico squirrel ad, I love the "are you at Zumba" line. I love how she is trying to relate her life to her son's.

Not laugh out loud funny but beautiful & makes me smile...Google Android one with all of the animals. If I was tech savvy I'd put a link here...somebody put it on for me? ends with a dog and an orangutan...know the one I mean? (thanks terriks)

Here you go

Yes I love that Android commercial!

I'm a sucker for goats so my favorite part of the above ad is when the goat jumps on but then slides off the horse. When that ad ran frequently, they would often show an abbreviated version and the goat was cut. It was so, so disappointing to me. I am simple person with a simple mind, I want to see goats!

I hadn't seen that android ad...very nice. I watch a lot of the old tv shows, Perry Mason and the like, so mostly I see ads for medical devices, chair lifts, drugs and attorneys if you've been injured by drugs. Oh yeah, and life insurance!

I think a classic funny and clever ad is the one where the store's security camera catches the truck driver for Coke having just delivered a case of Coke to a convenience store, then sees the Pepsi case next to the Coke, looks around to make sure no one is looking, then takes a Pepsi out for himself, and his lifting the Pepsi can causes the entire shelf to collapse and a million cans of Pepsi go screaming out onto the floor, making a racket..and the perfect song, "Your Cheatin' Heart (Will Tell on You)" by Hank Williams is playing in the background.

Not one line in the whole ad, and it is a perfect ad, IMO.

And yeah, the Barkley family Subaru commercials are great . My favorite is the one where they start barking and then a USPS truck passes them going the other way.

Yes to the Barkley family Subaru commercials! My favorite is the one where they get the keys to the gas station restroom. DH's is the one where Dad checks out the fancy poodle in the crosswalk and Mom growls at him. They all are funny.

The goats ad reminds me of another Doritos ad where the guy keeps trying to hide his Doritos from the goat. We used to raise pygmy goats so anything with a goat in it and we're sucked in too.

"Sunday Afternoon" by Volkswagen - aka the "stinky chair." This is one of my all-time favorites. Not a word uttered by the actors, but oh, does it ever tell a story!

Such great videos above!

an oldie but goodie...

I can't think of any i actually like, but really really really really hate the pepperoni commercial that is on all the time on HGTV. I have not had cable for a number of years and DH just got sling so I have been watching the few channels on there. I forgot how much I dislike commercials!

OMG, Boop! I hate that one too! There's just something about it that's like nails on a chalkboard to me. Ugh!

Boop and Jen, YES! I just saw it for the first time last night, and it's like a weird and bad dream you'd have after having too much pizza and beer. Not that I'd know that firsthand, just rumors. Anyway, I can't stand that commercial!

ETA: If we have to suffer, so does everyone else:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mi88MA5FMo

Now, really, did you have to go and do that? ;€

WATCH IT.

:D

OMG.

I hate that guy.

I like the Gerber baby taste-testers ad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOX6rVEH9_Y

Aww...!

I like the guy microwaving his meal and a metal band is playing and singing it's the final countdown. And the microwave meal is practically glowing in there.I think it is for GEICO.

these always make me laugh

Mom jeans....:-)

She wants my jeans!!!

Faron

OMG, the "mom jeans" ad is hilarious, as is the German Coast Guard ad! ROFL!

This one always cracked me up.

Yes, I really like the "Final Countdown" Geico commercial as well. Playing a corporate lunchroom. How hilarious.

Currently definitely the Geico Squirrel/Zumba class commercial. DS is 25 and always busy and usually there is noise in the background. And DH definitely takes critter problems personally! I laugh every time. And Annie, loved the satin sheet bud commercial. I've never seen that one!

Glad this thread is still alive. I was reminded of another favorite from about 3 years back - the Honda commercial that reprised Ferris Beuller's Day Off. I could watch that one over and over. Had fun just trying to find all the movie connections.

I read today Honda will have another spot this year after being absent last year and it's supposed to be funny and involve sheep and Queen's 'Somebody to Love'.

I "third" the one hhireno talked about. The longer version is even funnier, and I often look at it for no reason whatsoever, e.g. the metermaid says you gotta fed the meter and he says "what's a meter?" or he's at the ATM and yells to the cars honking behind him, "I"m five!"

My new fave: Cookie Bakes with Siri

Oh, that Cookie Monster one is funny, makes me laugh every time!

bpahome- that is my absolute favorite too! so cute! ( i always loved cookie monster too!)

Still love Jake from stake farm...but my favorite part of it is "khakis"...said in a little bit of an accent...Now the commercial creeping out lately is the toilet commercial with the little ol' lady on the bench...because no one likes "splatter"...then her head pops out of the toilet at the very end...no, no, no.
