What are your favorite commercials currently on TV?
For humor, the American Express commercial concerning ID theft - with the elderly woman watering her pool, telling us about the mud flaps she bought for her truck in a manly, manly voiceover.. that cracks me up every time I see it. The woman does a phenominal job of conveying the feeling that the credit card thief is turned-on, lol..

For sexiness.. that razor commercial where a ton of shirtless men are shaving, and with each few frames a new man is there shaving. WOOF! The song "Bend me/shape me/anywhere you want me.." YUM!

1. That is my favorite, as well
I also like the one with the middle-aged guy talking about the "leather bustier" for $1500. Those commercials are priceless...

3. Same commercial but the one with the old guy
sitting in his chair talking like a girl. "1500 dollars for a leather bustier?" I crack up everytime I see it. I thought it was capitol one though or soemthing not AMEX.

4. Miller Beer Human Domino Chain
kinda creepy for some reason but I like it.

Also the Honda commercial that matches car owner's visage to their vehicle's make.

10. ooohhh I forgot the one for "rub on" testosterone
which always cracks me up when the guy lamely throws a tennis ball against his gargage door to exhibit his "renewed strength".

5. The Sierra Mist commercial...
with the two howler monkeys. One monkey wants to get into a tank of water which houses the polar bears because the monkeys pen is way too hot and it wants to cool off.

That commercial cracks me up everytime I see it. :thumbsup:

7. I think it was for Bud Light
And it was a 80s-ish hair band singing an ode to the Wrestling costume designer.

I thought I was going to fall out of my chair laughing.

8. There are 2 more Theft ID commercials that are great
The one with guy in his pajamas with the ditzy girl voiceover talking about a leather bustier, and another with an African American woman and the voice over of a smarmy geek. All those ads are great.

I also like the commercial that has all the people falling down like dominoes.

9. I like the one where the guy has the house and the car and the nice yard
and asks (whith this big goofy smile frozen on his face through the whole commercial) "How do I do it? I'm in debt up to my eyeballs."
It shouldn't be funny (being in hock that deep) but the commercial is hilarious; even my grandkids at 7 and 8 crack up.

11. I don't have any favorites, but I can tell you my least favorite.
It's the business credit card ad that's run on CNN in the mornings at every break. "What about Paris?" "Hawaii!!" The company must have signed a 50-year ad contract, because it's been running for at least the past couple of years.

12. The one-minute coffee maker
THe woman puts her coffee on and hubby "needs" her in the bedroom. It only takes a minute! :D I'm amazed that ad even gets shown. It's hysterical.
