Your favorite commercial [Archive]

My favorite is a pasta commercial.

This blonde woman is shopping in an Italian open market when she accidentally bumps into this hot Italian guy. The Italian guy shyly says "excuse me" and walks off.

Later on that night, the blonde lady is eating at a restaurant with some of her girlfriends and the Italian guy (who's apparently the head chef at the place) notices her. He makes her a special pasta meal with the product being advertised and personally serves it to her. End of commercial.

Man, that commercial is so romantic... It makes me want to be a chef who hangs around open produce markets bumping into hot girls.

I really like a Coke commercial I saw on VH1 called, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.

It was corny, with a bunch of people of several nationalities in garb from around the world standing on a hill holding soda and singing about Coke and harmony, but I like it.

I love the Nextel Cell Phone commerical that does a quick synopsis of Romeo and Juliet. It's like the complete play in 30 seconds. All the important parts anyway. Pure genius.

Also there's a couple of ads for this Rx Enhancer stuff for men. It's a "male enhancer" and it involves this guy named Bob. It's got all this great sexual innuendo, and the guy being protrayed has this big ass cheesy smile, and it just WORKS. It's funny, and the message behind it is that they don't say "big penis" medicine, but it's implied, and it's great.

I love unique commericals.

hmm, i kinda like the nintendo commercial where the guy cant decide which color so he has them battle each other out. when his girlfriend asks him to choose between two lingeries you see two armies wearing each lingerie

the heineken "what is this, some kinda joke? one is funny, though a tad longer than necessary

blonde: "i dont get it"

A white man and an Asian woman are getting ready for work in the morning. They aren't talking to each other, and there's a palatable tension between them. Then they are at work, and seem sad, looking at pictures of them together. Finally, the girl is in a meeting with the rest of the executive board when the guy runs into the room and holds up a sign "I'm an idiot. I'm sorry." Then you realize it's her cell phone -- the guy text messaged her. She texts messages back "I'm sorry too".

i like the dunkin donuts commercial where it's the end of a meeting, and there's only one donut left on the table. The secretary is eyeing it, but another co-worker appears to be reaching for it. She quickly lunges foward and snatches the donut....only to find out that the co worker was actually reaching for a pen besides it....the expression on the faces were awesome, i love that commercial

I like some of the Washington Mutual commercials -- the new ones where you think you can do anything after dealing with Washington Mutual.

There's the one where the guy takes a flying leap off a cliff with his dirt bike that looks so real.

that reminded me. remember the fox sports commercials like they show "foreign" sports? yeah like the russian slap fest and the Chinese guy trying to catch a tree.

I like the Nissan commercial where this guy is carrying a bag of gorceries and an orange pops out and falls on the sidewalk. He bends down to pick it up and leans on a Maxima for support. So he starts having these flashbacks of spirited driving through the countryside and what not, only to be snapped back to reality. Then he realizes he just squashed his orange in his hands.

Corny, I know.

I like the Royal Bank of Scotland commercial where there is a group of business people eating at a fancy restaurant and one of them starts choking.

The people the choker is eating with acknowledge that he's choking, discuss the Heimlich maneuver, and even debate the pronounciation of the name, but do nothing for the choker. Then this guy from another table silently stands the choker up, performs the Heimlich, and it's done.

Classic commerical.

A recent Craftsman commercial where they were selling a special wrench and laser measuring device. Just Bob Vila going into a house and introducing these new tools to the homeowners. Boring? Maybe. It's special because the homeowners are a good looking Asian couple with no stereotypical accent or mannerisms.

This is a perfect example of an ad where they just wrote a script and put Asian people in it rather than do what normally happens which is writing race into the show/ad.

anyway duno if i mentioned before but the commercial a few years back this dude and his girl are eating pizza and she takes a peperoni from his slice and he's like "what are u doing" and she's like "its just a pepperoni"

and he's like "you know what? your right, just take the whole slice, in fact, take the whole pizza!"

"and these car keys"

"and this wallet, theres nothing in it anyway!"

"and these pants!"

and about there when he goes ballistic the commercial freezes and there was a voiceover (forget what they were selling exactly)

I saw a new commercial for some car company (can't remember, I think it some GM division) yesterday during the Finals. A black man and woman are in the back seat of a car during a "test drive" and they're making out or whatever. I liked it cause that girl was real pretty, that's all :D

The dealer himself is sitting in the front seat and he's like "ahem". And then the couple's like, "yeah, we'll take it."

I also love the Fair Housing commercial where a White guy makes a call for an apartment on Park Street.

With a Hispanic accent he calls in, gives his name as Juan Hernandez, and asks about the apartment. He’s told it has been rented.

Now Indian accented, he calls back as Sanjay Kumar. "It’s not available."

Then he deepens his voice. "Tyrone Washington" is told the apartment isn’t available.

The accented Chen Ling, Khalid Bin-Ali, and Tuan Vo have no luck either.

Wheelchair-bound Moshe Goldberg is told it’s gone, too.

Then the guy goes to an unethnic-sounding accent and gives the Caucasian-sounding Graham Wellington as his name and suddenly the apartment is available.

There's this Progresso Soup commercial they've been playing lately around here.

There is this middle aged white couple praciticing Japanese (to visit Japan).

Anyway they seem to get tripped up on the correct word for taxi.

If I heard what they said correctly, I think they could just use the romaji version of the word, takushii, rather than whatever it is their travel guide tells them to use.

Is there two different versions of this credit card check commercial --

The one where this middle aged guy gets a gift card to some punk record store?

Anyway in the radio version, the dude seems to be asking for the Baroque section. To whit, the worker-bees answer says, "Baroque, is that the Icelandic chick?"

HAHAHAHAHAHA, HA! (Anyways it was funny to me.)

I really love some of these commercials. Don't think I'll ever buy a vast majority of what they're selling, but the entertainment is certainly fun.

AMWD (if you ever check in on this thread), do you all get into Asian character content of commercials, too? Because, it seems, the commercials portray Asians in a better light. (I like the one about the UPS drivers -- one from China? and one from the US.)

You're taking one, for the team
