Post by SeattleParrotHead »

On another thread I referenced a commercial I can't stand.... how about a thread about favorite commercials?

I'll start with this one:


And these Allstate commercials are pretty creative:

It's old — from 1985, back when smoking tobacco was still considered 'acceptable' and marijuana was a no-no (my, how times have changed!) — and I don't even think it ran in the USA, but I saw it on one of those "World's Best Commercial" compilation shows and took an immediate liking to it....

I'll start with this one:

The only thing I don't like about this ad is the truck they use. That is a tanker truck and is used for liquids.
Helium is a gas and needs a special truck.



Fyi...my Daddy worked at a helium plant

But can Progressive save me from going to jail when I break my TV during commercials?
Oh good! I thought I was the only one who hated those stupid commercials! Maybe the Limu Emu could eat the Geiko Gecko and then get trapped in Cheryl's she-shed when it burns to the ground?

I gotta admit though that I like this one:

I like the Halloween one with the young kids running around making stupid decisions.

I'll have to put a vote in for The man who walked around the world, a commercial for Johnnie Walker. It may be a bit longer than most commercials, but that's part of the beauty of it.
I'm also genuinely impressed by Robert Carlyle's work here - since it's a single shot, he had to do the entire 6 minute piece without any mistakes.

It is indeed an impressive piece of work! As smooth as a sip of JW Blue...
