Hippyt | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 06:13 pm     LOL,Spy! It is a Total commercial,I saw it again. I swear if that woman lost even 5 pounds she would look unhealthy! |
Wargod | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 06:22 pm     Aren't Total and Special K pretty much the same thing? Thanks Hippy....I thought it was Special K, but had only seen it the once. Whoever it belonged to it bugged me all day! |
Sia | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 10:04 pm     No, War, Special K tastes much better than Total, especially with a bunch of sugar on it!! Special K is made of rice flakes, like big, wide Rice Krispies, while Total is much tougher, like cardboard Wheaties. Yum! |
Fruitbat | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 04:19 am     Spy I thought the same thing. There used to be a bread called Profile. The ads said to eat two slices before dinner to fill you up so you didn't eat as much. Just slap a piece of ham between them and call it dinner for cryin out loud. Weight loss is a big business. I sit waiting for all the low fat products to be replaced with low carb. Wonder how the cereal companies will negoitate that mine field. |
Ddr1135 | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 06:02 am     Has anybody seen the Mastercard commercial with the Theme Park scenario? I just love that one. The ending is "Hearing your father scream like your little sister....priceless". The picture of the rollarcoaster ride with the son looking at his father is hilarious. |
Heyltslori | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 06:45 am     Ddr...that one makes me laugh too!! |
Hermione69 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 06:04 pm     The streaker running around at the soccer game. ROFLMAOPIMP!!!! |
Lizadee | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 06:29 am     How about this one some of you may have seen if you watched the game yesterday Its a Budweiser commercial This girl walks in from another room sits down on the couch with her boyfriend and he says Hey where did you get that shirt from and she says ohh its my old boyfriends I just like it cause its BIG and he just sits there thinking about this and says why don't you put on one of mine and she says oohh cause it would be to small LOL and then shes says something about the fact that he's got small hands if you didn't see this commercial when you do see it it'll crack you up |
Crazydog | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 10:50 am     I like the Miller Lite commercial, I think it's funny. But I've never seen the "other" version. What's it say? |
Djgirl5235 | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 10:57 am     I love the Disney World commercial with the "fat" bald guy... priceless! |
Marysafan | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 11:00 am     Crazydog, at the end of the commercial when the gals have been wrestling in the mud...one gal looks at the other and says, "So, do you want to make out?" |
Crazydog | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 11:05 am     LOL |
Weenerlobo | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 11:09 am     Lizadee, that is a GREAT commercial. I think she says something to the effect of "The small ones are ok, but the big ones feeeeeel so good!" Of course she was talkin about sweatshirts, but it had us rolling yesterday. That Miller Lite commercial has apparently gotten a lot of negative attention from older females who have taken to emailing and phoning Miller to complain about the stripping/mud wrestling girls. Pa-leeze. I think they need to lighten up just a tad. Hermoine - that Nike Shox (?) commercial was really really funny. I can't wait 'till Superbowl, not only for the game, but of course the commercials too. |
Hippyt | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 11:16 am     LOL,Weener,I hate football,but I love the commercials during the Superbowl! |
Marysafan | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 11:23 am     They did a "critique" of the Miller Lite commercial on the Early Show last week. Julie Chen said she didn't have a problem and thought it was funny. Hannah Storm was not as pleased. And they didn't even mention the "other" version! |
Crazydog | Monday, January 20, 2003 - 11:38 am     Proving to me once again that Julie is hip and "gets it". Hannah on the other hand seems to be more of a square. |
Skypilot | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 09:54 am     I LOVE the Saturn commercial with the car leaving childhood.... Does anyone know the name of the song that is playing in this commercial and who the artist is? |
Halfunit | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 10:01 am     "We've Been Had" by The Walkmen "The Best Is Yet To Come" by Tony Bennett This is according to some posters on another site. I have to see the commercial again, but the consensus is it's one of those two songs. |
Skypilot | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 10:12 am     I am coming to this thread late and have not read all of the postings so maybe someone has already mentioned these commercials. But has anyone seen the IKEA (I'm almost certain it was IKEA) commercials where there's a married couple in the midst of a really heated argument and just when the argument seems as though it's about to reach a climax an IKEA salesperson appears, the camera pulls back and we see that we are actually in an IKEA showroom and not in the couples home? I've seen two versions so far. One has a couple arguing in the "kitchen" about the husbands infidelity and in the other a couple having just learned that their daughter is pregnant argues in the "living room" about whose fault it is. I think the point of this particular ad campaign was to show that people feel right at home in an IKEA showroom and that IKEA is hands down the brand of choice in home furnishing. At the end of each commercial when the salesperson asks what they think of the furniture in the showroom in which they are making spectacles of themselves each couple announces, "We'll take it!" Am I the only one who found these commercial really disturbing? |
Grooch | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 10:13 am     I haven't see them, but they certainly sound disturbing. |
Skypilot | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 10:35 am     Halfunit, Just to make sure that we're talking about the same commercial, the one I'm thinking of has a bunch of twenty-something kids in a car and they suddenly find themselves on a suburban street lined with swings and slides and children as far as the eye can see. They then come to a sign that says "Adulthood" or "Old Age" and decide to take a detour. I offer this clarification because I'm absolutely sure that the musical artist is NOT Tony Bennett. It's some young alternative rock band for sure. Thanks. |
Jeep | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 10:47 am     Hey! Last night I got to see the weiner dog commercial for the first time. It is sssoooooo cute! I just about wet myself when they yelled "stampede" and all these little weiner dogs ran by! |
Calamity | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 10:49 am     Skypilot: I'm pretty sure it's "We've Been Had" by the Walkmen. Barnes&Noble has an audio clip you can check out. |
Skypilot | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 11:00 am     Thanks Calamity and Halfunit!!! "We've Been Had" is the one!!! Does anyone else get reminded of the Cocteau Twins listening to this song. |
Halfunit | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 04:00 pm     Superbowl commercial preview: My local news just showed a commercial that has Jack and Kelly Osbourne telling Ozzy, "We're not the Osbournes!" Then they "unzip" themselves, ala Pepsi Twist ads, and they say, "We're the Osmonds!" and it's Donny and Marie. Cut to Ozzy screaming in horror, and then waking from a nightmare. Looks pretty funny! Ed - part of it can be seen here (it's the 2nd one): Superbowl Commercial Previews
