Commercials

If you watch TV, there is almost no way to avoid them. What are your favorite/ who makes the best commercials?

I think that NASCAR has some of the best commercials. There are other funny ones out there.

There is a way to avoid them, it's called DVR!

I hardly watch anything live anymore, so I don't see many commercials anymore.

The Super Bowl ones this year were pretty disappointing, especially the Monsters Vs Aliens 3D!!!11!1! one.

I like any of tha Aflak commercials that feature the duck. I don't know if any commercial beats those for laughs. Speaking of DVR above, I'll actually rewind those commercials and rewatch them.

I also love the lost dog Mastercard commercials that aired a few years ago. Try and watch those and not get choked up a little or shed a tear.

And another one I saw recently that was hilarious was one for some item called "Slap Chop". It features the guy who also does the Sham-Wow commercial. This commercial has some of the best lines in a commercial ever. I'll add Youtube clips for each later on.

I did see an Aflac commercial today, the new "Who done it?" style one, and it was pretty funny.

And I do the same thing Mark, if I spot an interesting ad I'll rewind and watch it.

I only watch tv on the internet the past few years. I think all elements of life in Western Civilization have been commercialized anyways.

I prefer old tv commercials.

Winston Cigarettes, 1961


Southwest Airlines, 1972

Donkey Kong Cereal, Probably around 1982

Why isn't Southwest like that any more?
I love Southwest enough as it is, but that would just be the icing on the already great cake.
