Share your favorite TV commercials that are on right now or are from history. Almost all new commercials are posted on youtube, as are many from years gone by. Maybe the commercial makes you laugh or think, or if it's an old one, it makes you remember something special...

 

Please don't posted more than a few at a time. You'll have ample opportunities to find and share your favorites!!

 

These are some of my favorite TV commercials that have been on recently....

 

In fact, I love most of the PS2 ads:

 

Cutest kid ever! What does that even mean!?!

Ally Bank "Eggs"

 

The boss' ringtone is epic -- it's especially welcomed at funerals!

One of my cats is obsessed with the McDonald's Filet-o-Fish commercial.  I have no idea why.  She stops in her tracks and watches when it comes on.

 

Give me back that filet-o-fish, give me that fish.... ooooooo!

Love that Apple's Macintosh commercial from 1984 depicting 1984.

"You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

I love the Lawson's Roll On Big O commercial! We used to sing that when I was a kid. When I was at Sun News, I showed that youtube vid to a co-worker who is about 10 years older than me. He started to signing along and I saw a tear form in his eye. He's normally a cranky guy but that commercial made him so happy.

The way the camera follows him and pans around him, and his jerky movements, reminds of of Grand Theft Auto.

Can't access You Tube at work, but the "Terry Tate: Office Linebacker" commercials are easily my favorite!

 

Also, for whatever reason, "Garfield 1-2-3-2-3" comes to mind.  Catchy local jingle hits a sweet spot...

Trojan commercials are always funny.

 

 

Wow, I wonder how long it took that guy to walk that far. If he did 20 miles a day, that would be over 150 days to get across country. I can't believe he walked through South Dakota and Iowa! I would die of boredom.

 

 

The Dad deserved an Oscar for this performance:

 

 

There were several of these.  Groundbreaking in terms of being so corny and annoying that they were comically laughable.  Sort of akin to, now, when a show like Family Guy repeats something over and over and over to the point that it somehow surpasses being annoying and becomes funny again.  The Mentos commercials were also just a great satire of the commercials at that time which all tried to sell you on the fact that everything in your life would be fantastic if you use their product.... as if, for example, the soap you used in your morning shower was going to make all the difference in your day (that is not an invitation for debate, MTS).

 

 

As mentioned above, the Terry Tate videos are hysterical... although I'm not sure if they can be called a "TV commercial"  (WARNING: profanity)

 

Terry Tate Office Linebacker

I love this commercial because it's been running forever and seeing the legacy of film video is amusing next to the content of today. It's not the holidays without A Christmas Story, the public access fireplace, and this commercial.

 

Classic Campbell's Soup Winter Commercial

Loved the office linebacker, the guy walking across America and the trojan commercial.

I've abstained from TV for a few years, but before I kicked the habit I loved the Aflac Duck commercials. Absolute cheesy, prepostorous, corny humor!

I don't normally like Geico commercials in general...the cavemen and crap, but this is great and clever

 

A bird in the hand:

 

New GEICO Commercial - Bird in Hand
