Title: Commercials that you like
Post by: F-14 Ace on April 10, 2010, 02:58:17 AM
I hate most commercials on TV but not all of them.  

Here are some that I actually enjoy.

#1. The Priceline commercials.  William Shatner is awesome.

Priceline Negotiator: The Big Deal

#2. Oh no!  Your tire's all flat and junk! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ6avBo0sYg)
This commercial is annoying.  I don't know why I like but I just do for some reason.

#3.  Mountain Dew commercial staring Chuck Norris
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vjuLxyo-p4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vjuLxyo-p4)

#4. The Amazon Kindle commercial.  I like the song.

Funny commercials.  Commercials can be funny, but not when you have to see them hundreds of times like you do if you have to watch commercial tv.

Aside from a number of one-time Super Bowl Commercials, it's been a long time since I saw a commercial that I really liked and wouldn't mind seeing again and again.

If I had to guess when I stopped enjoying commercials, I'd say mid-90's.  Yeah, pretty much when parents started their little take over of Kid's Shows.  I think that when the shows went downhill, commercials did too.

Until I can compile a nice list, here's a Drug PSA I just LOVED watching.  I mean, it's absolutely brilliant!

I hate all commercials.  None of them have any thought and I sit down to watch a show, not to get advertised to about some stupid waxer or whatever. :rolleyes:

The Chuck Norris Mountain Dew commercial was freakin' hilarious :spit  :spit!  

I remember this Mountain Dew ad from back in 2001.  It featured a spaceship that flew low and took out an outhouse in the middle of nowhere, leaving the dude sitting there looking around like, "WTF?!" :lol.  That was funny :lol!

Here are a couple featuring R. Lee Ermey aka. The Gunny.  

Does a former drill sergeant make a terrible therapist?

And in case you're wondering, yes he's the guy from Full Metal Jacket.

I love old commercials in general. They're creative, and there's certain charm & quality in them that is not present in today's commercials. The jingles in those old commercials are fun and catchy in my opinion. I could honestly just sit back, watch them for a long time, and have no complaints. These videos down below are just the few out of many old commercials I'll be showcasing for this thread. :)

If this commercial aired today, I would literally buy so many cereal boxes of Rice Krispies. This commercial is so catchy! :wub

In fact, if most commercials today were made similar to how it was back then, you can say that I would be sold on almost everything. :)

Anybody remember this commercial? It basically aired on Nickelodeon all the time back in the early 2010s. :)

A catchy rap about Reese’s Puffs cereal.

Can't say I have as this is the first time I hear about this.

This one is a bit closer to my childhood. I remember the days when this was shown almost daily on television and I quite enjoyed it for what it was. For better or worse, remixes about this commercial have turned it into a living meme. :p

I only suggested that someone could try to change my mind. I never explicitly stated that someone would be punished for liking Pepsi better, did I?

You can be the first honor to get punished if you’d like. ;)

It's true you didn't say it outright. I just thought it was implied because "Change my mind" sounded like a challenge to me. After all, Pepsi vs. Coke debates can get pretty heated. :p

Nah, I was just kidding. :P I've been in Coke vs. Pepsi debates before, but nothing serious. Although, yeah, it is the internet, so you could probably find a heated argument about it somewhere. :DD

Ah, yes, Toys R Us. We have one in my city. I haven't been there in a long time, but I used to visit it a lot. Especially when I used to collect Furbies. :)

I thought all Toys R Us locations closed at first since they went bankrupt back in 2017, but then I realized that it still exists in Canada. :P
Were your memories of that store as vivid or nostalgic as other kids during your childhood? Personally, since I never went there, I don’t have any feelings of it closing. Although, I do sympathize with so many people who came to cherish that store and see it finally coming to an end.
Title: Re: Commercials that you like
Post by: StardustSoldier on November 21, 2019, 06:37:07 PM
Oh, I didn't realize Toys R U had shut down in other parts of the world. I wonder if their Canada branch will eventually close as well. I'm somewhat neutral about it if it does happen, since as I mentioned, I don't go there any more. But I do have a lot of fond memories of browsing for toys and video games there in thy younger days. :yes

Now it's time for an incredibly cheesy trailer for an unaired 80's animated show. Thanks to DarkHououmon for introducing me to this. :P

Haha, there’s always that charm with old cartoons or commercials of previous decades, particularly the 70s, 80s, and 90s. :)

I think this is a very beautiful banned Christmas advert that spreads awareness about the negative effects of the palm oil industry.

I like this commercial from Progressive. It depicts a jubilant flower shop owner in her own fantasy world until...the puddle of doom speaks.

If you watch at the part when the puddle speaks, you may hear a strong resemblance to Pinkie Pie's voice from My Little Pony, which honestly makes it a bit more unsettling to be honest. :o
