Title: Commercials Post by: Susan on May 20, 2007, 08:14:51 PM They don't make em like they used to. I've argued that the one thing that is missing is a jingle. Now commercial makers are trying to make a resume by making their ads look like minature movies. Booooring - and nobody ever remembers the product.
We all...decades later, can sing the bologne song, the tootsie roll song, i'd like to buy the world a coke, plop plop fizz fizz....heck I can even remember the jingle for the dallas times herald. I think that they need to go retro, suck it up and just get a jingle. Sometimes you find a gem in the rough, and everytime i caught this on tv i smiled [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyijWbML82s Anyone have any favorite commercials or jingles? Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Ash on May 20, 2007, 10:00:35 PM Here's a couple of good ones...

he reminds me too much of http://pixyland.org/peterpan/petersFashionPage.html (http://pixyland.org/peterpan/petersFashionPage.html) Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Torgo on June 19, 2007, 10:42:31 PM I watch hardly any TV. I can't stand most commercials. :teddyr:
Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Shadow on June 19, 2007, 11:30:41 PM hard to find that berries and cream lad guy amusing. he reminds me too much of [url]http://pixyland.org/peterpan/petersFashionPage.html[/url] ([url]http://pixyland.org/peterpan/petersFashionPage.html[/url]) THAT is more likely to give me nightmares than any bloodbath horror film. Yikes. :buggedout: Title: Re: Commercials Post by: BTM on June 20, 2007, 12:34:49 AM Speaking of such, this one website X-Entertainment (no, it's not a porn) has several downloadable 80s commercials. My personal favorite is for the Bonkers candy. This was a brand of chewable candy, in the commercials everytime someone would bite into one a GIANT piece of fruit would fall from the sky and hit them in the head. Despite the fact the fruit could break through ceilings, the people who got hit were never seriously injured.
http://x-entertainment.com/downloads/ (http://x-entertainment.com/downloads/) Probably the most disturbing commercial they have though is for Underoos Fashion Underwear. This was a line of colorful underwear for young girls. I don't know, something abouta commercial with preteens dancing up and down a modeling aisle in just their underclothes feels just plain wrong to me. Here's the boys version... [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br7vl6z0DTE They've also got commercials for the clapper, Castle Greyskull, New Kids On the Block dolls, even the commercial with Stephen King whoring himself out for Mastercard!

I predict a "B" movie, or at least a TV series for the people who made this. Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Wortcov on June 27, 2007, 07:43:56 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NySN_plfiNI soo epic :smile: Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Ash on July 19, 2007, 03:46:02 AM This new ad for Direct TV came out recently.
It's pretty good! [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfEWtMOnCkA Title: Re: Commercials Post by: asimpson2006 on July 19, 2007, 09:47:27 PM I think they should bring back the crying Indian. That was quite good for it's time.
Title: Re: Commercials Post by: BoyScoutKevin on July 20, 2007, 10:43:55 PM I think they should bring back the crying Indian. That was quite good for it's time. I believe that would be Iron Eyes Cody. The strange thing, is that after he died they looked into his background, and while he played Native Americans on both television and in films, he may not have been a Native American. Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Menard on July 22, 2007, 09:46:16 AM I have a collection of funny commercials on my site here: http://z54.org/videos/commercials/
These are fairly common. There are no thumbnails as I listed them primarily for other webmasters to be able to download them for their sites. Hopefully you find something you like. Title: Re: Commercials Post by: BoyScoutKevin on July 28, 2007, 12:41:51 PM I see that you have a number of foreign commercials on your website. When I still had a TV and could watch television, I always made it a point to watch the specials they had on commercials. And I always found the foreign commercials to be funnier than the commericals we see in America.
Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Ash on August 02, 2007, 04:31:24 AM Check out this old Burger King commercial from 1983.
Recognize the two actors in it? :wink: [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPlcwu7NwPc Title: Re: Commercials Post by: RCMerchant on August 02, 2007, 06:08:39 AM OK...I give So who is dey? I gotta Know! :question:

Weekend at Bernies and The Karate Kid. Title: Re: Commercials Post by: RCMerchant on August 02, 2007, 06:22:14 AM Andrew McCarthy and Elisabeth Shue!!! I just imdb searched 'em! Well...I like Burger King too! I guess I can be a movie star now! Cool! :thumbup:
Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Ash on August 02, 2007, 06:23:43 AM Give the man a prize!
Er...1 karma that is. :bouncegiggle: You're absolutely right RC. They are indeed a young Andrew McCarthy and Elisabeth Shue. Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Mr. DS on August 05, 2007, 07:41:31 AM [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbmg5T4r-yw
I've only seen it once but this is funny. Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Ash on August 06, 2007, 07:01:45 AM This one has been playing on TV lately and everytime I see it, it makes me chuckle.
Don't You Want me Baby? [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz4u8XXUgxA Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Mr. DS on August 06, 2007, 09:37:15 PM I think these commercials are funny...
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfkfKOwTR2I [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnt1M9S9kCo This is the only ones I had to dig up although my favorite ones are when the girl screams "WE'RE PREGNANT" and with the silence she says, "Well, way to step up there Rick" while the guy is on the other line screaming. Another one I saw tonight had a guy in a diner ordering roast beef and they guy said "I don't have any" and he replies with "Did your wife eat it all this morning". The guy on the other end laughs but not realizing the guy cut out the diner owner goes on to say "I mean look at me, I'm weigh as much as her..." Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Shadow on August 06, 2007, 09:55:26 PM "Jennifer! Don't make the same mistake I made."
I crack up every time I see that one. :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Allhallowsday on August 07, 2007, 10:33:57 AM Everytime I see this ad, it makes me laugh. :teddyr: Well, I thought the Berries & Cream Lad was funny, but since I have never seen it before, it might wear me out quickly... guess I don't look at too much TV these days. hard to find that berries and cream lad guy amusing. I also thought Susan's link to the Peter Pan Fashion pages was hilarious! he reminds me too much of [url]http://pixyland.org/peterpan/petersFashionPage.html[/url] ([url]http://pixyland.org/peterpan/petersFashionPage.html[/url]) Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Mr. DS on August 07, 2007, 11:17:15 AM I was so inspired by the awfulness of the Berries And Cream commercial that...well...just look at my current avatar.
Title: Re: Commercials Post by: HappyGilmore on August 07, 2007, 11:55:20 AM I like that commercial where the family is driving in their new SUV and are stopped by the troll. He has to ask three questions, but gets distracted at how comfy the SUV is that he asks questions he didn't intend to.
My all time favorite commercial is the RICOLA one from the mid '90s. I was so inspired by the awfulness of the Berries And Cream commercial that...well...just look at my current avatar. I thought the commercial was great. Just me though.Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Allhallowsday on August 07, 2007, 12:15:37 PM I was so inspired by the awfulness of the Berries And Cream commercial that...well...just look at my current avatar. I noticed it; I'm proud of you! :teddyr: :thumbup:Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Shadow on August 07, 2007, 05:32:50 PM I was so inspired by the awfulness of the Berries And Cream commercial that...well...just look at my current avatar. Karma for you good sir! I sing that song (complete with accent) at times to annoy my wife. Thanks to that instructional clip on YouTube, I can now include the dance. :teddyr: Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Ash on August 15, 2007, 12:42:14 AM I just caught this new commercial earlier tonight.
The people who made it definitely love zombie movies. :smile: Run for your lives!

Title: Re: Commercials Post by: Mr. DS on August 17, 2007, 06:57:25 PM I was singing this song today for some reason...one of my favorite classics.

This Snickers ad always cracks me up. :teddyr: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEYEFfAbB5g |
