When we first shutdown for COVID-19, Progressive had one hilarious commercial all about the foibles of meeting via services like Zoom. One was enough, and I'm sure it only appealed to those of us learning how to use those sorts of programs.

I always stop to watch Jake from State Farm and Mayhem from Allstate--the rest are just noise.

I love the new Applebee's one too. I love Mayhem (especially the one with

Tina Fey), I love the WI Lottery DooWop one, also loved the Subaru dog ones,

but haven't seen any in awhile. Like the Band-aid one (I think) where the

Mom is cuddling her cat.

Top 3....I LOVE the Emu on the Liberty Mutual commercial. 2nd is the camel (HUMP DAY) and 3rd is the Budweiser lost puppy commercial.

Yes, Jake from State Farm and Flo in the Progressive commercials. Something about insurance, I guess.

Another State Farm insurance ad is Cheryl and her She Shed - I've seen it hundreds of times yet for some bizarre reason I still watch it. There's something about the 2 actors and the way they deliver their lines. It still makes me smile.

I’m a fan of the Subaru dogs too and some of the Progressive commercials can be kind of funny

Big Yes to the Subaru dogs, Jake from State Farm, and Mayhem. I also liked the old Doritos commercials from the Super Bowl when they had a contest for people to submit their ideas and they actually used the winners. The new ones aren’t near as funny.

I think this one should win an award.

The one that I like is the one with mousetraps and a table tennis ball.

chickadee, I agree that's a good one. As many times as I've seen it, I still couldn't tell you what product they were pushing.

IAMS has had some great ones over the years. They did make me remember what the product was. This is the full length ad. It was usually a shorter version on TV.

This was the first one I remember from years ago. Not the best quality video but great ad.

I live in the NY area. The Hospital for Special Services commercial is great. Have to watch a few times to catch all that is showing. Hope we never need their services.

We don't get the HSS commercials in my area but that's where I had my knee replacements - excellent hospital and I had a great outcome.

I love all the Budweiser commercials that have the Clydesdales in them. And I usually watch Limu Emu because that guy looks just like someone I know.

The Friskies "Dear Kitten" series.

I've seen all the insurance ones so many times that I don't find any of them funny. I hadn't seen the Friskies one - it's cute but then kittens are cute anyway.

I didn't catch the sponsor, but yesterday I saw one with several segments. One featured two little boys and a plastic car. One boy was in the car, and the other was pushing it along a sunny sidewalk with all his might. The little-boy glee emanating from both of them!

One I always watch when it comes on is the "Pass It On" one with the young traveling man who wants to go home. He has such a sweet face, the message is lovely, and the music also. Feel-good for me.

@roxanna7, agree, great series of commercials.

Cheryl on She Shed is hilarious! I love Flo's commercial with the family camping and she plays all the different family members. I have to say, I cannot STAND Jamie that they have added to the progressive commercials line up. I literally have to change the channel or mute it. haha

Love the Marco Polo Geico commercial. Marco Polo in his hat and purple robe and the random llama looking over the edge of the pool. Ahhhh, Si, POLO! Tooo funny.

I pay attention to the Modelo commercial because I love the song “Ecstasy in Gold.”

The Haribou Gummy Bears commercial where adults are seated around conference room table and speak in children's voices. The commercial is not shown too often so I don't tire of it. Always makes me smile.

the "robin hood" commercial for android phones, sung by roger miller. sooooo adorable!

My all time favorite is Heinz Wiener Stampede (Super Bowl 2016).

Loved the Friskies "Dear Kitten" ones. Watched them all. The "Peanut" one was the one I liked the best.

I have not listened to commercials in decades - we mute all of them. I do like vintage ones, however.

Mike Wallace from 1955

I like some of the drug commercials, like Eliquis. It's almost a short story as the commercial progresses.

Geico. The one where they have a “clogging” problem!

I've seen a couple of TV ads for socks. Imagine advertising *socks* on TV! One donates a pair to the homeless for every pair sold. Bonobos?

I really like a short one for another company. (I've only seen it twice, so not sure of the brand...Klocks?) A pretty brunette wears a long-tailed white shirt over her excellent legs. She sits to put on purple socks, then is so enthralled that she gets up, plays air guitar and does a few ballet steps before exiting to the right of the screen -- returning half way to wave goodbye. No dialogue, just voice-over and music. Delightful.

I really liked the Geico commercials with the various characters - the raccoons, Pinocchio, the pig, the caveman, the lady on the phone. I like the Progressive Flo commercials, and the Mayhem ones (they really got the perfect actor for those). Why is it the insurance brands that have the best humorous ones?

I've been watching a lot of commercial free streaming lately, so I haven't seen any recent ads that come to mind.
