What are some of the commercials you love or hate?

One of my favorite ones currently is the Toyota ones where two salesmen act like college coaches and are recruiting a kid to drive a Toyota.

This is my favorite commercial of all time. By the way, that's Masuka from Dexter holding the boom box.

Agree wholeheartedly Sammy.

Agree wholeheartedly Sammy.

You guys are awesome.

As someone who works (read: interns) in advertising I'll pose this question...

Geico... respond.

Good thread for the Super Bowl!

Geico... respond.

Creativity beaten through the crust of annoyance deep into the mantle of diminishing returns. The cavemen, with the TV show, made it all the way to the core of terrible popular-culture legend, along with the "WAAAASSSUUUPPP!" dweebs and "Contact your doctor if it lasts more than four hours."

When discussing favorite commercials come to mind, Office Linebacker Terry Tate is up there. I also like the Betty White Snickers commercial, and the Snickers commercial where the guy paints "Chefs" instead of "Chiefs."

How could anyone possibly hate Terry Tate?

Liked a lot of their early stuff. Prob need to go in a different direction now. The following is one of my fav of all time. I cracked up laughing the first 10times I saw it.

I only actually saw 1 of these on TV, but they are all gold.

I really want to hate it, but the Geico possum cracks me up every time.

I really want to hate it, but the Geico possum cracks me up every time.

This was the first time I saw it. I like it. Geico always has some good commercial lines.

And just because I'm watching it now...

I HATE the Fujifilm bungee jumping one. Why the hell would this guy pay what is probably a several hundred dollar expense for bungee jumping (travel to the bridge, safety training, and the gear), and then just stand there and "pretend" to jump with his camera? That's no experience, and who's he expecting to lie to about it?

To top it all off, the guy who shrugs looks like a doofus.

[Tucker Blair]

those Progressive commercials with Flo are the worst.

I despise it.

[JeffLong]

I love the toyota commercials with the coach.
"You did a good job and I lie your shoes"

Also the possum commercial.

There are a few others... I'll see if I can remember any...

I know its for asbestos and mesothelioma, but for some reason I cannot stand the one for the Law Offices of Peter Angelos.

I'm nor sure if that has to do with production of the commercial or who's behind it.

[Don Quixote]

The Ford commercials with their little "Get Ready to Go" bit make me want to throw things. I'd rather watch an hour of Luna commercials.
