Yeah, those crack me up.... even the ones I've seen ten times already. The expression on bustier man's face kills me.

I love those Miller High Life commercials where the guy does the voice overs... those are so funny....

I also like the ones at the beginning of football season.... the woman drops a melon in the grocery store, and they all fall on it... and then it says... "must be football season" (must be a commercial for the NFL)

There was a commercial during the Super Bowl in 1997 or 1998. It was for the new Fox Sports Catcher Cam. A man in full catching gear walked up and squatted down behind a horse. Another man ass-slapped the horse which kicked the man in the catching gear in the chest which knocked him back about 20 feet. I have yet to see that commercial again. Funniest damn thing I've ever seen. I used to catch in high school and college and took my fair share of hits.

Anybody see the Tostito's commercial were the guy on the loaded subway starts day-dreaming about being at home with friends eating the chips, think he was really at home he absent-mindedly proclaims "Let's get naked!!!" only to have the entire subway look at him...ahhhh, classic!

Those European Ford (Ithink it was) commercials were the Focus kills the cat and bird are awesome too!

HP's 'Change' (http://www.rushes.co.uk/quicktime/hp_change_qt.htm)

I love the Bud Lite "Real Men of Genius" radio ads.
http://www.ksilebo.com/realamerican/

And any of the local Atlanta ads that always show on the TV Guide channel. If anyone's from Atlanta, then they must know the "Q-Time" and the "Two Brothers" ads. They always look like they were filmed with a 10 year old home video camera.

i dont know what cleaning product is promoted but this is what the commercials like:

a woman in orange is standing behind a glass, (it seems like a visiting room at prison) her daughter is standing infront of her. and their talking, and at one point the women in orange says she has to get back...and her daughters like...mama i love you...and the mother replies and she goes back on her knees and starts scrubbing the bathroom floor... rofl its genius...perhaps i dont make it sound like that

Yup, seen that one...the one were the guy is fighting a Grizzly Bear for a fish is also great

[Brozozo]

Oh, the Bridgestone commercial were the dog sees another dog humping his girlfriend and goes to kill himself on the highway only to have the car stop on a dime right in front of him...and the TRUNK MONKEY commercial!

guiness extra cold ads.. old classics BUT COLD!! GENIUS!

[b.scheller]

the toyota-canada "get going" commercials (http://www.getgoingcanada.ca/) are good too, they've inspired me to take a road trip through canada...once i get my own car :P

i always love those classic national anthem videos, where they play the "O Canada" and meanwhile they show Canada from the East Coast to the Pacific, they also have them for the U.S.A...

[Ratamacue]

Tobasco commercial where a guy's sitting in a rocking chair on his porch eating a slice of pizza, and each time before he takes a bite he just pours on tobasco. A mosquito comes along and bites him, then flies away and explodes. I don't know why but the one time I saw that commercial I fell on the floor laughing.

[Trigger]

My favorites are the Jack in the Box ads. All of 'em. I love the one during football season. The sports reporter is interviewing the 'Carnivores' QB about the play called the 'wild chimpanzee attack' and the QB still has his game face on. "No doubt about it: the chimps gave 110 percent!" and in the background an opposing player is screaming for someone to get the chimp off his back. Kills me every time. rofl

[Bombtrack]

Our beer commercials. Alexander Keith's, Labatt Blue, Molson Canadian

[bishop1]

I dont remeber which phone service its for, maybe "In", but the guy is saying how hes the first one to get a job after college, then it shows him in his office all proper and crap and his friends call and are really loud and he just hangs up etc... Its not that funny to me really, but it hasnt got old and its just cool.

[memphiz]

the 'Marca Bavaria' one
any Tim Hortons commercial

[FuturePara]

I forgot what Beer it's for put there's these funny cartoon beer scientist dudes talking, ones describing what he made and the other just repeats it everytime and goes BRILLIANT!
"I've created a six pack."

hands down.

[ronin2172]

for me it's two...first one the Terry Tate office linebacker spot for reebok....the way he was laying people out was hilarious...the second was the Nike streaker commercial.....the commentators were absolutely hilarious and typically english ....

"So far he's giving the police nothing but a good look at his backside."

"I don't know if this is a cry for help but it's got my attention." (while the streaker does a cartwheel)

Commentator #1 "Oh dear, that's an image that is going to stay with me for a long time"
Commentator #2 "It's scorched onto my retina..." (while the streaker was dancing with or molesting a corner flag)
absolutely classic rofl

I know I'm a dork, but I get a kick out of the new Tennessee Aquarium commercials. Something about soft rock and singing fish, the stingray is the funniest.

There's a type of cider over here called Woodpecker, it's known as a very refreshing drink during summer, hence the slogan "Woodpecker!! That makes a refreshing change!!".
Anyway, one of the adverts for it showed a couple of blokes sat outside a pub each drinking a pint of woodpecker. Suddenly a giant hedgehog (And I mean giant, it was about twenty feet long) comes down the road crushing all the cars in it's path, turning them into "roadkill". The two blokes look at each other and one says to the other - "That makes a refreshing change...".

[molly747]

I loooooove the new Burger King ads. Such a great slice of office culture.

Go to "TV."

[Seraphim]

The Mercedes commericial with two guys driving down this winding outback road and a tree falls on the road and the guy slams on the breaks. The passenger is just sitting there in awe and then screams. And then it says "Brakes Faster Than You Think"
