Commercials that crack you up - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bootsy Whoosh · 12-13-2005, 11:43 PM

Someone asked last week which commercials creep you out, but I wanna know, what commercials consistently crack you up.

Personally, I like the Nationwide "life comes at you fast commercials".

The one where the supposed NFL takes some guy first place in the draft, and then the guy does his little happy moves, and then proceeds to fall down the stairs, and the people who took him are holding his jersey and just like roll their eyes at the end.....that one makes me chuckle every time I see it despite having seen it many times.

They have another in the same campaign I've only seen a few times, but it involves a series of catacalysmic events....all I remember is at one point a large boulder get launched in the air, and lands on a boat trailer, which launches the boat into the air, and straight through some guys roof. The homeowner is outside, with his back to the house, screwing a flag on his mailbox, and he just looks up like "hmmmm....what was that?" when the boat crashes into his roof.

The guy using his laptop, and the two guys beside him keep peeking at his screen.

It's an ad for a privacy screen.

----------------

The guy who's looking through his barrel for his lost morning paper (I think). The barrel (with him in it) gets picked up and tossed into a garbage truck. Next scene, he's on a barge in the river.

He makes it back to his home, picks up his remote and resumes watching the movie.

I love most of the ads for Real California Cheese. I especially love the one where the Happy Cows are enjoying a foot massage, and get disappointed when the vibrating stops. Of course, it really is an earth quake tremor that they are feeling. I laugh everytime I see that one. Unfortunately, it's not on their site; only the two newest ads are there. http://www.realcaliforniacheese.com/

OMG, ALAN RICKMAN!!!!!111!!1!!one! *coughs* Um... *points at own avatar* Sorry.

Anyway, there's a commercial for some sort of SUV (a Hummer, maybe?) where it's face-to-face with another SUV, like a Ford or something. Anyway, both rev their engines and all that, trying to 'scare' the other one. Finally, something in the undercarriage of the Ford/Chevy/Whatever breaks so that it looks like it's peeing itself.

that Pizza Hut (I think , or is it Dominos?) commerical where the dude delivers pizza to this guy's house and the guy is like "wow, with these prices we can afford to splurge a little" and he turns around and says "ok kids, turn the lamp on "... "YAYAYAYAYA".... "ok, lamp times over" ... "awwww".... *chuckle* "they just love that lamp"

gets me every time!

Kiss comes off the stage after finishing a concert. As they remove their makeup, the road manager says, "We are back! We are back! I see world tour!"

The bassist, having removed his makeup and revealing himself to be a bald, fat guy, says, "Wow - the whole world?"

"Wait a minute," the road manager says, "you're not Gene. . . . " Turning to the guitarist - a dweebish dentist type - he says, "And you're not Paul. . . ." Realizing he's been had, he yells, "What's going on here? You guys aren't Kiss!"

"No, the fake Paul says, "but we did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!"

The fake Gene flashes his tongue.

Dumballa · 12-14-2005, 11:13 AM

I think the guy's name is Tony Little, its a Geiko commercial. The one where he showing of the Gazelle(like a xcountry ski machine) and says, "Yeah baby" Cut to next shot of Tony going full throttle on the machine yellin, "You can do it!"

The Chauffeur · 12-14-2005, 03:59 PM

I don't remember what the commercial was for, but there were 2 guys on the couch and 2 guys standing in front of them wearing a wizards hat and using foam tubes as a sword while the 2 on the couch give them commands las if they were in a video game. When the 2 "video game characters" start really beating the crap out of each other, the 2 on the couch start screaming RESET!

God, what was that a commercial for?
