My Favorite Commercials

Somehow I always found Admiral Akbar “endearing”. 9kVesdPNrAM Of course, I’m not really “into” fish. I like sushi, but I rarely eat it cooked. I never like calamari either, so I guess I won’t be having the Admiral “over for dinner”. Oh well.

Burger King commercials are just weird these days. There’s no doubt about it. I think that started back with the “Hootie Cowboy” commercial. y8T-qlWM1po To be honest I don’t like where BUrger King takes most of their commercials. I just don’t like these weird things. I also don’t really eat at Burger King anymore ’cause [...]

“Unlike games, it has a real computer keyboard” gVX5cyMOGAk Was that supposed to be a spreadsheet? I guess the Vic 20 was a little before my time. At the time this came out I was using a TRS-80 at school. Later I would have my own C-64. You have to wonder too, did this gig [...]

I remember these well…. lJ9RgOAfF3Y This commercial worked it’s magic so well on me that I made my mom buy me almost the complete set for my birthday. We lived near a department store (similar to K-Mart or Target) called “Treasury”. It was so cool. They had a whole isle of Star Wars toys. I [...]

This is just one long collection of commercials from the 50s and the 60s. Take a look! -8529092460554257230 It’s pretty interesting to see how things have changed and how they have stayed the same.

This Wendy’s commercial is one that holds a place near and dear to my heart. gq5EjA5G5tM My personal connection to this connection is a little “out there”. The year this commercial came out, I dressed in a short sleeve button down, tie, kakis and very bad glasses. Yes, you guessed it. I was dressed up [...]

Is it just me or does William Shatner look like a muppet in this? voILEz4iD_8 And why does he have to always rag on poor Mr. Nimoy? This is one Star Trek fan that is not real happy with this commercial.

Priceless….. OK, I know this one isn’t a real commercial. It’s just too funny to pass up though. Before you watch though, I have to warn you that it is “R-rated”. -7184420933710108270 The real funny thing about this one is that the girl in the commercial is played by Joy Christie Di Cresce. I’m originally [...]

Geico has quite a few of these “caveman” commercials. This one’s got to be my favorite. zZrjr4A-ASQ A few things really stick out in this one to me. That way he looks down at his boarding pass before he sees the sign is so real. I mean I do that all the time. I travel [...]

This certainly is the one that started it all, started my fascination with TV commercials that is. I couldn’t have been more than six or seven, but I remember the adult women around me making fun of the poor man who ran the laundry. ojm1Xzwlc9Q Some of you might have more fond memories of the [...]
