Commercials

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.

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.

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.

Check out this old Burger King commercial from 1983.
Recognize the two actors in it?

This one has been playing on TV lately and everytime I see it, it makes me chuckle.

Don't You Want me Baby?

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..."

"Jennifer! Don't make the same mistake I made."

I crack up every time I see that one.

Everytime I see this ad, it makes me laugh.  

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.
he reminds me too much of http://pixyland.org/peterpan/petersFashionPage.html

I also thought Susan's link to the Peter Pan Fashion pages was hilarious!

I was so inspired by the awfulness of the Berries And Cream commercial that...well...just look at my current avatar.

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 thought the commercial was great.  Just me though.
