Turner Classic Movies has some cute commercials, senior citizens in the retirement home acting out scenes from classic movies for their fellow retirees... the one I just saw was from Rocky the goldfish are cute too.. in the newest one I've seen, with the two guys who sing/play guitar for the jingle, at the end they sing something like "and just in case you wonder, here's how they get their color"... and the two guys are getting sprayed with orange cheesy dust.

Has anyone seen the Tampax Pearl one where the man and woman are in a boat and it's supposed to be all romantic but the boat springs a leak. The guy goes to get a patch or something and the woman looks at the hole, smiles and reaches into her bag. She shoves a tampon into the hole right as the guy turns around. It's a very odd commercial. I don't ever know if I want to laugh or just shake my head when I see it.

I think the only tampon-related commercial I remotely liked was the one with the dancing red "period"-- But I think I remember people commenting negatively about that one! I don't see why we even need to watch tampon commercials...Doesn't everyone already have a preference? I think it's funny that some Pearl ads show how shiny and beautiful the applicators are...But who else is going to see them? They go straight into the garbage! I know, the smoothness implies easier use and I am now going somewhere that's better left alone....

Swiffer's new ads with Genivive from Trading Spaces drive me up the wall. She's so flipping excited about the Swiffer,she looks like she's gonna pee her pants!

I like the auto insurance commercial that starts out with a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversery, and a son or grandson says to the lady "looks as if you got a present" and the lady opens it and smiles big and pulls out a leather thong, the look on everybody else's face is PRICELESS. Then they cut to the auto insurance part saying sometimes minimum coverage is good, then back to the man pulling out a leather thong with metal studs saying "OH YEAH!"

There's a Subway commercial that makes me laugh every time I see it. A guy and his wife are on a low-carb diet. He spots her in Subway and thinks she's cheating so he rushes home and starts stuffing his face with chips. She catches him and asks what he's doing, and he's spitting chip crumbs all over the place while he says she cheated first! It turns out she bought low-carb sandwiches...and he ate pasta off the kids' art project. Lol!

well now the superbowl ads are starting to appear...here's three of them coming up.. A big advertiser will be Pepsi. One ad that was mentioned is going to be the beginning of a massive iTunes music giveaway (100 million songs in 2 months)....and they're going to use people the RIAA sued for illegal downloading. The teens are gonna proclaim they're gonna continue to download music for free--by getting codes from caps from Pepsi bottles...and this will be enhanced musically with a new version of "I Fought the Law"..... ..another Pepsi ad is going to have Britney, Beyonce, and Pink in Roman-Gladiator garb.... ....and after the Super Bowl, during the first ep fo "Survivor All-Stars", Major League Baseball is going to do an ad...Three MLB stars are going to be discussing the Super Bowl commercials while playing whiffleball in the house (MLB got a couple of their sponsors who are also doing Super Bowl ads to give them info about the ads they're showing during the game)

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet but my favorite is the cell phone commercial with the sasquatch telling the guy, "You ain't got no camera!" Then the guy pulls his cell phone out of his pocket and takes picture of him. PS: I LOVE TVCH's new look!!!!

I don't think any commercial quite had the appeal to me as EDS' "cat herding" commercial a few years back (actually, I think it was in 2000). I think last year's crop of Super Bowl commercials mostly flopped. For the first year, none of them really REALLY stood out. I can't wait. Thankfully, I won't care much about the game, so can run into the bathroom or kitchen while the football is in play! <grin>

I have to mute the TV now when that horrid Quizno's and their singing mice (or whatever the heck they are) comes on. Talk about annoying!

Are they supposed to be mice??? I've been trying to figure out why Quizno's would want rodents singing their praises?!

Well, that's what they were referred to in the thread that was discussing them on the figure skating board I visit. They gave a link to an article about it. Apparently they are called spongemonkeys? http://slate.msn.com/id/2095868/

LOL Landi! I was thinking either Bob or Monkeyboy! Dead hamsters on sticks is good too! At any rate, the idea of using vermin to promote a food product is scary!

Whoami, I saw that article on msn today and thought somebody might be posting here ... I cannot stand those things either... they look like some sort of mutant roadkill.

I hate those Spongemonkeys (vermin exposed to nuclear radiation) ..it scares me to think that these may just be the protein in Quizno's subs.

Ugh, I just saw that Quizno's ad last night-- I think Quizno's needs to find a new ad agency! Why would this and the "raised by wolves" ad inspire anyone to eat? Ugh.

I sent an email to Quizno's telling them what I thought of their rodents, but they are going to keep using them anyway! Hmpf! How dare they not listen to me! lol! Anyway, I asked my 12 yr old niece what she thought of the commercial and she says that all the kids at school like the commercial!!

You see the Nike ad with all the athletes in a fantasy sequence playing different sports? I thought that was unique...I also like the new American Express ad with Tiger Woods spoofing Caddyshack...
