My Favorite Commercials

Yes, there was a time before Blackberries and Treos. This was a time when mankind was forced to deal with one-way text messaging. This commercial is from that time. We called them beepers on the street, and pagers in the office. Some of them could only do (gasp) numbers! 4379400737827256236 Of course there was also [...]

I am pretty sure this one should be considered a fake. I don’t really know what the story behind it is. I’m not really sure if I really want to know. 9qnNvRShbQA I don’t know what bothers me most. The commercial itself, or the fact that the YouTube title i includes the words “Take Two”.

For some reason the old fifties TV show The Lone Ranger was real big in syndication in the eighties, probably due to the movie that came out in ’81. Amoco decided to take advantage of this got Clayton Moore to appear in their “Sliver” commercial. Of course The Lone Ranger’s horse was named “Silver”, so [...]

Just a heads up, this one is kinda PG-13. If you don’t wanna watcch, then don’t click on play. -6735449150490690279 To be honest, I think the really cute/funny part is when the mouse climbs over the wall to get to the Game Boy Micro. It’s the subtle little things in some of these commercials that [...]

I know I’m a little late for Halloween, but this one is too much of a classic to pass up. -7401874040929470754 Very timely too since it’s a Betamax commercial. You see, at one time there was a format war between Betamax and VHS. While VHS won the war, the people were hurt the most were [...]

I’m not really sure if Alpha Bits is around anymore. I remember this and other commercials for the cereal well though. nuLhgx_Rv0w This of course reminds me of the scene from “Family Guy” where Peter says he has a message in his Alpha Bits that says “OOOOO”. Brian then reminds him he’s eating Cheerios…..Classic.

Isn’t this kind of a play on the popularity of the Geico commercials? -8181801990250175607

This has got to be one of the greatest commercials of all time. It’s theme is based on the year it ran during the super bowl, or at least on a book named after that year. That year was 1984. -715862862672743260 To be honest, I think the graphics for this were WAY ahead of their [...]

I’ve already posted one of these. I like the other one better, but I wanted to give props to the one that started the whole Geico caveman buzz. 1319381343578952974 So, would he be called the “best caveboy”?

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.
