Commercials
 

I just saw this one, it was so funny I had to go find it.

I was reminded of this commercial by this post:

I'm loving Grandpa in the basement.

It's in tha hoppah.



Hoppah.

I laugh every time

Best commercial ever.



eta. this was a parody of an actual TV commercial.

Try to guess what this commercial's about (GIANT SPOILER IN THE TITLEBAR, AVOID IF POSSIBLE).

a cow orker, gothychick, just told me about this one.

Oh, thanks for the tread res...

I saw this last night and cracked up.

I do quite enjoy the new Kmart commercial:

I tried really really hard not to laugh at that, but I couldn't help myself! :lol:

I just shipped my drawers!!!

That's where I broke down. LOL

I made it to "I just shipped my nighty.", before letting out one loud "Hah!!".

Have any of you seen the Jimmy John's commercials?

To inform the uniformed Jimmy John's is a sandwich shoppe, and they deliver. Their motto is "Freaky Fast Delivery".

Their commercials invariably end with "Wow, that was fast!" And there are a lot of them. My favorite is this one, remember, there are like twenty different ones, and they all end with "Wow, that was fast!"

Goat for sale.

re: Jimmy Johns...Of course their delivery is fast. They don't cook anything. It's cold meat sandwiches. WTF? Why on earth would you go buy a cold meat sandwich? You can make that at home. Anyone can. Anyone.

What else do they serve? You can go out back and grab a warm pop in a can?

[/couldn't wait to get a Jimmy Johns rant in...the biggest restaurant ripoff since the Mc"Rib"]

I had an interview at their HQ (Champaign, IL) for a corporate job some time ago...worst interview ever: group interview with 3 other people, feel-good interviewer guy, awful questions.

Not a Subway fan, then?

Also, why would you have a sandwich delivered to your home at all? Warm, cold, or otherwise.

Oh, I don't know, no car, no meat, no bread? Perhaps they stack meat better than you. Maybe I'm screwing the chick that works there. Maybe I'm snaking on some other chick by having stacked meat delivered to her. Some chicks are impressed by stacks of meat. Maybe I like rye, but, not enough to buy a whole loaf. You can get toasted bread, maybe my toaster is broken. Their cheese might be stinkier than mine. Or yours. Cold sammiches get warm (to an extent) all by themselves. Just wait a minute. All kinds of reasons, is really what I'm after here.

:D:sweat::lol2:

Also:

Mmmmm...warm pop.

ETA:

Ooh, oohooh...You could take a bite of cold sammich, and wash it down with warm pop.

Prollum solved.

Hee!

:lol:

Subway will give you a hot sammich! But I will admit I am not like Joey Tribbiani whose favorite food is sandwich.

I don't mind warm pop. Or warm beer.

And: No human being could stack meat like that! [/Peter Venkman]

This is just a silly little advert for chewing gum that made me smile:

And this is an ad for IKEA that I think is really well done:

hah I like that.

Fuck Subway and Jimmy John's and their shitty overpriced sandwiches.

But I'm a hypocrite on this one...I like Quizno's, though they're overpriced too. I prefer locally made though, like Adriana's or Amighetti's in St. Louis...:drool:

Hmmmmmm.

I was looking at this thread from my phone last night and I swear either jim or foot was saying that their dad would say that scatalogical humor is not funny (re: the K-mart commercial) and I was laughing because that's true but once that woman said she shipped her drawers, just her face, her delivery, I busted out. But posting from my phone sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't, the blinky line that tells you where you are typing moves on its own, and you end up typing in between words you've already typed.

Anyway, today: no reply like that AT ALL. And no deleted post. Hmmmm. Unless....

If you post undercover and then delete can people see there was a post there?

Or did I totally dream that post, and my attempt to reply to that post?????????

foot3 isn't digging that ad over here

Yeah, I didn't see it in this thread.... Heard it on the radio that morning....

I love the AT&T commercials with the kids. My friend says this kid reminds her of me. :lol:

Their commercials are great...too bad their service sucks dicks like a whore with a bad crack habit...

*speaking as one of AT&T's customers*

My only interaction with Jimmy Johns has been at my Baltimore conference. There is a Jimmy Johns in the hotel, and it's the cheapest place you can go for lunch without needing to go outside. In February, which, in Baltimore, is pretty damn miserable. My major disappointment with their fare is that they seem to have a misunderstanding as to what actually constitutes a "club." It's about more than just bacon. It's all about that slidey marriage amongst three slices of toast, tomatoes, lettuce, bacon, and the primary sandwich filling. Jimmy Johns misses that by a wide margin.

Overall, for just plain sandwiches, they aren't bad. There is interesting crap on the walls to read while you eat, and they manage to deal with high traffic times fairly efficiently.

But their house-brand chips are quite good, and they do that all you can drink so you can be fatter thing.

Well, what kinda sandwich place don't want fat customers? It's good for business.:D

Also:

Never trust a skinny cook.

Eleven (11) variations on the Club Sandwich...just sayin'.:neutral:

Infinite Monkey got this in my head, and it won't go away.

Love the old man at the end.

:lol:

Swagger Jagger.

Calling all geeks. This Audi commercial with the two Spocks is a hoot.

Awesome. That was some inspired casting, having him as the young Spock. He was my second favourite thing about the last Star Trek movie. First was Peggers, natch.

Who's the guy at the end? I feel like I'm missing the reference.

I think it's nobody, just that the car drives itself and is better than both their cars, if you go for that sort of thing.

This advert, I hate. Really, really hate. Prizes* for the first dwellar to identify why I hate this advert.







*not really.

I couldn't speak to your hatred of it, but the statement that "nobody makes chicken grills like Bird's Eye" is probably self-evidently true, and irrelevant to whether the product is good or not.

A woman has to please her man, even when she is just a little girl?

Either that or the mobster bear which is able to get to your school and back and can therefore easily get into your bedroom and steal your eyes with icy cold paws while laughing like all the devils in Hell...?

heh, closest with the former :p The fact that having attempted to gain his attention in various ways, the advice she gets (from, as you say, the slightly scary mobster bear) and successfully implements...is winning him over with food.

I just. I don't even know, it just makes me want to break stuff.

Also, Dad gets home in time to eat food that takes approx 12 minutes to "cook" but of course can't be seen to make it, as we're selling traditional family values here.

Actually, no, that's a bit Millie Tant. There's a male of childbearing age in this advert, as opposed to every supermarket ad out there, where women frolic on the beach with children. Because no Mums have to work, but Dads do. Probably why Mums have to buy their kids' clothes made in Dhakar.

I'm sending mixed messages here. Probably because my objection isn't not really about gender politics, I just don't like seeing people happy in adverts. Or creepy bears with tiny eyes.

Right now, where's my prize?
I know you were only joking when you said I couldn't have one.

Picture of a barking puppeh, barely used?

Got any kittehs?
(Okay I admit, even I would snuggle that)

I love this advert. One for all you Dwellar dads:

Kittehs?... of course we got kittehs....

an oldie but a goodie...

OMG I worked for that company -That commercial was the reason we didn't get a raise that year. And that's exactly what we were told too. "Sorry, the superbowl investment was more than we anticipated"

But now, its a great analogy for what I do in my classroom every day :)

Pete, that's a great commercial!

Here is a link for ten great ones plus a bonus. #cheating



and ten more super funny ones.

very sweet commercial



riiiiiight up to the very last bit which bothers me as much or more as the one about the chicken. I disagree with their conclusion. It is **much** better and more important to be the Dad than it is to be their friend.


being friends is fun though, just not as important.

Don't see why you can't be both.

Side with V here.
I'm hazy about the whole friends/ parenting divide, but when your progeny are children you have to parent them.

I saw nothing in the advert which crossed the line, of course.
It's a good idea.
I just wish they hadn't added the tagline.

It's funny. I also cringed at the tagline, but didn't say anything at the time. I love being a dad and really enjoy spending time playing with my kids, but I make it pretty clear to them that I'm not their friend. I've actually said "I'm not your friend, I'm your dad" to them. But we still have fun together. I really enjoyed the ad though.

edit: although now that I think about it, there's the scene where they are scoping out the girls. That's pretty creepy. What dad is going to be scoping out girls with his son?

Ahhh. I watched it again and now I see what you are all talking about. I hadn't really taken on the detail of the strap line. I just thought it was a nice idea showing the Dad as also being his friend.

Setting that aside: hows about those two boys for cracking actors or what?

No! Dad isn't scoping the girls out. He's teasing his son because he recognises a girl from his son's school and thinks she fancies his son.
Yes. Although I'd like to hear one of them say Accrington Stanley.
