I have never been more freaked out by a commerical. Can't change the channel fast enough when that one is on.

LOL.......You don't like Digger?

"Hello, Meteor."
"Hello there."
"Have you heard about the website Discovery.com?"

*etc etc*

"Ahhh. The atmosphere. Ahhhhhh."

The awful acting, terrible special effects, and shameless aspect of them...they were brilliant

Those were great! In July and August that's a frequent saying of my husband and I is "Ahhhh, the atmosphere!"

I liked the mosquitos too........"Buzz, buzz, buzz. Hello, mosquito"

I gotta go with the Red Bull commercial, where the bird takes a crap on the pedestrian. He slugs down a Red Bull, gets the typical wiiiiiings, and flies above the bird, and starts pulling his pants down, in order to get even with the bird. That one busts me up everytime.

Another really good one, is the Cat litter commercial when the cat is throwing the party, while the family is away.

Hello, partially-eaten fish...

"Come on down to Dickens fruit stand, and try our famous cider....that's right, bring your wife, she'll just love a nice hot Dicken's cider"

Hear this one on the radio at times.
No visual, but just hearing the way one girl is talking to another and saying how she likes to
"wake up with a good Dickin's Cider" makes all the visual one needs.
Until the narrator explains that the ad is for "Dickin's fruit cider".

There are two on radio that I wish were real commercials... the rhubarb pie commercial and the ketchup commercial from Garrison Keelor's Prairie Home Companion. Both ads consist of a day gone horribly and ridiculously wrong, something like "Your car got towed, your dog ran away, your mother-in-law's coming to visit but your wife has left town. Your insurance agent tells you you're being dropped because your car is too old to be profitable... wouldn't now be a great time for a piece of Rhubarb pie?

Momma's little baby loves rhubarb rhubarb
Be bop ree bop rhubarb pie"

I've done them absolutely no justice: I used to laugh so hard at these things that I was in danger of driving off the road.

I loved that commercial when it was on. I always got a kick out of the kitty DJing on the turntables.

I just thought of a couple more...
That Charmin toliet paper commerical with the cartoon bears. Stupid! Everyone knows that bears don't use toliet paper in the woods-they use rabbits!

Also that commerical about the frozen fish..
"Uncomfortable around fish." Those are just plain weird!

My current favorite is the Geico commercial with the cave men. Is that Billy Bob? looks like him as each cave man. cracks me up.

The annoying music on that commercial for broadband telephone service.

I destest any commerial that starts with the noise of a keyboard clattering away-printing out some message (lately the prevalent one is an anti-smoking spot by Phillip Morris-yes, it is quite the oxymoron, isn't it?)

I loved the Super Bowl commercial with the cat and the spaghetti sauce - hilarious!

Have ya'll noticed lately the Geico (automobile insurance) commercials with the lizard? They are definately going for the humorous approach now. I am not going to mention anyone specific, but if ya'll have seen them, you know the ones that I am talking about. Pretty funny...

And who can't help but love the Aflac commercials with the duck???

There's this lame comercial on now for SunnyDelite juice-it has this teenage boy in the backseet of the family car-just belting along with Limp Biskit, or eminem or something, and his teenie-bopper sister listening to Britany -and she's just a-cronnin' along.
It's funny, 'cause I look at my two toddles and think...only ten years, and I'll be living through that!
