Bruce Campbell circa his Old Spice commercial! Experience. Title: Re: Which Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Doc Daneeka on April 16, 2007, 04:05:36 PM The little "Date night" guys AMC used to show before it was replaced by some big city. I doubt anyone else will pick this.
Title: Re: Which Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Mr_Vindictive on April 16, 2007, 04:09:08 PM Out of the choices, I'd say the Gnome. I've chuckled at one or two of those commercials.
The caveman is my most loathed. Sadly, ABC is making a TV show out of the character. Title: Re: Which Commercial Character Do You Like Most?

Post by: Andrew on April 16, 2007, 04:10:17 PM Mine was that dog from the Beggin' Strips commercials. He knew that the humans would bring home food, he loved bacon, it smelled like bacon, but dogs cannot read.
I would crack up when they showed him the bag and he would scream, "I can't read!" in frustration. Title: Re: Which Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Raffine on April 16, 2007, 04:21:17 PM "Iiiiit's BACON!"
that reminded me of the "STEVE, DON'T EAT IT!" series on 'The Sneeze'. http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/cat_steve_dont_eat_it.php (http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/cat_steve_dont_eat_it.php) The Beggin' Strips actually look pretty tasty compared to some of the other 'human' food he tried. Title: Re: Which Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Shadow on April 16, 2007, 05:35:54 PM The Geico Gekko, probably because I love the accent and can do a spot on imitation.

Good to see another Sneeze fan! :thumbup: Title: Re: Which Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: RCMerchant on April 16, 2007, 06:10:08 PM I like the unemployed Vikings...trying to get jobs.....you know..."WUT"S IN YORE WALLET?" Vikings...those commercials are dam funny! :bouncegiggle:

Although it was probably a good idea health-wise, I'm sorry he seems to have ended the " STEVE, DON'T EAT IT!" series with those weird pickled pupae.

Post by: BlackAngel75 on April 20, 2007, 09:07:25 AM I like the cavemen, especially the one with the therapist, the one in the restaurant and, the first one: "So easy, a caveman can do it" and then a actual caveman walks out.
Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Fausto on April 20, 2007, 02:17:06 PM You forgot the old lady in those life alert commercials, "Help me, I've fallen and I cant get up!" Also, the frogs from the budweiser commercials. My favorite out of the list you already have would either be the gnome or the gekko (true story: The gnome actually made his first appearance in a french movie called Amiele; never seen it, but I hear its really pretentious). However, my all-time favorite commercial so far would be a sprite one, it starts out as a fake spot for a sunny-d like product, with a family praising the drink's great taste. Then a cartoon sun hops off the bottle, making some remark about vitamins and minerals, and the family starts screaming in terror and runs away.

I remember those Edy's ice cream commercials. One with the old lady picking up a car cause her Edy's rolled under it. And, my favorite, old guy is called to dinner, he shuffles across the room, when he hears that Edy's is being served for dessert, he jumps and spins in the air, land in a split, brings himself up, then continues to shuffle to the dining room Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Mr. DS on April 24, 2007, 11:40:59 AM I can never hold my laughter in when this Caveman moment happens...
"I'll have the roasted duck, with the mango salsa." "I don't have much of an appetite thank you..." (stares at Geico guy in disgust) Quote You forgot the old lady in those life alert commercials, "Help me, I've fallen and I cant get up!" God that commercial rules...also the guy in it who screams "I'm Having...Chest...Pains..." Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: JaseSF on April 24, 2007, 12:04:20 PM The Kong-like giant ape that advertises Spicy Hot Gum. I cannot remember the flavor though. "Burn baby burn".

Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: StackAttack on May 04, 2007, 07:50:00 AM though ive always been a fan of the little old lady in the wendys commercials i picked the aflac duck. i like gilbert gottfried.
Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: DodgingGrunge on May 15, 2007, 08:30:10 AM Wow, I've been without a TV for too long. The only mascot in the list I recognize is the Geico lizard, and that's because those idiots have been sending me junk mail for years now. While they say I could save 15% by switching, I'd actually be spending about 10% more than I'm paying with E-surance. :teddyr:
Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Jack on May 15, 2007, 09:08:22 AM I used to have a T-shirt that said "Help, I've fallen...and I can't reach my beer".
Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: raj on May 15, 2007, 02:46:51 PM It's Bacon! Basically because I'm a dog person.
I also liked the old "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop" ads. Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Snivelly on May 15, 2007, 09:18:07 PM In case no one has seen it, here's Bruce Campbell's Old Spice ad where he does a lounge bar piano singer cover of Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg6bZSM48vU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg6bZSM48vU) This is a tie for me between the cavemen and the Vikings....I especially like the summer camp counselor one with the barbarians, that's a camp I would have begged to be sent to! Also, you should have included the Jack Links Sasquatch commercials, those are the best on right now. Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Ash on May 15, 2007, 10:29:15 PM Here's a good one for Pepto-Bismol.
Fits right in with the Badmovies crowd. :thumbup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3iiaGD0koU "Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion. Upset Stomach. Diarrhea!"

Boo unexpected house of evil. Hooray beer. Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: Mr. DS on September 03, 2007, 04:47:28 PM Geico scores again! :thumbup:

You might know her best as "the Where's the Beef?" lady from the Wendy's commercials of the early 80's. I like Clara. Her character is tired and cranky and a bit loud. Kinda like me.

Also like the Duck in the Afflac commercials. Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: HarlotBug3 on October 02, 2007, 01:12:22 PM When you've got Nausea, Heartburn, INDIGESTION....Upset Stomach, DIARREAH
:bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: F*&^ Geico, that jingle is the funniest thing to come out of advertising since they brought Jack Box back...and since his success has forced us to drink the pink before the sink. :tongueout: Title: Re: Which TV Commercial Character Do You Like Most? Post by: RCMerchant on October 03, 2007, 06:46:26 PM A blast from the past...just for fun!

I've seen ones in Slovenian that all sound the same and they all have American accents over here. I think the tongues are southern. These are among the few commercials that I could probably watch over and over and not really get annoyed, I've actually rewatched them on Youtube several times now. :) |
