What is your favorite commercial and why? I like the "It's so simple a caveman could do it" commercials.

Question

Geico commercials

Answer 1

Yes those commercials win my vote. My favorite is when he is at the therapist and he takes a call from his mom - LOL

Answer 2

My all-time favorite was one of the X-games type Mountain Dew ads 5-7 years ago. The late Mel Torme was singing throughout the ad, and the ad concluded with having it look like Mel made a stuntman's leap from atop a Las Vegas hotel into a giant air mattress. It took tremendous guts to combine a scat/be-bop jazz legend in an "extreme" soda ad at the turn of the millennium.

Even though I am a GEICO customer, GEICO needs to stop being greedy; pick one ad base, and stick with it. Are they best symbolized by the extra-large coffee cup, the gecko, the re-telling of actual customer stories by hokie C-list celebrities, or the "even a caveman could do it" tag-line? {Like Dennis Miller in his prime, I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but ... it's almost as bad as Auburn University's inability to choose one mascot. Almost every other college or university is known by a single mascot. Hey, Auburn! You are either tigers, war eagles, or plainsmen! Pick ONE and get off the pot!}.

Answer 3

My alltime favorite was the one for the Apple Macintosh which aired only once during a Superbowl. Since then, I now favor the Budweiser commercials which show the horses and football in the winter, like the one where you see the horses line up in formation for a kick and then make the kick between two telephone poles with two ranchers watching. One rancher says to the other, "Do they always do that?" and the other replies, "No, they usually go for two." And the most recent one, where you see a replay situation, where they show a replay of the horses and a sideline, played several times, and then you see a zebra looking into the replay hood, again with two ranchers watching. One rancher says, "That ref is a jackass." And the other says, "No, actually he's a zebra." And then there was the one with a young Clydsdale who dreams of pulling the Budweiser wagon He gets into harness and starts pulling and nothing happens. He tries again, and nothing happens. He tries a 3rd time and lo and behold, the wagon moves! The camera pulls back, and moves around to the back where you see two big Clydsdales with their heads against the back of the wagon pushing. These are the commercials I actually will stop what I am doing to watch.

Answer 4

I really like the PetSmart ad that has a little dachshound playing with a worm-toy nearly as big as he is. Well, he drags this toy everywhere, and out the doggie door and into bed. While the dog is crashed out asleep, someone picks up the nasty dirty gross toy and trashes it. Next scene is the dog in PetSmart with a new clean toy just like the old one. The checker askes "Where's Booboo?" LOL... the little dog refuses to let go of the toy so he just scans it.. .dog and all! I think its just precious!

Answer 5

Myy favorites range from commercial to commercial.
Right now its that one car commercial with the two kids freaking out over the Nintendo 64, with the dude in the background saying something like "When's the last time you were this excited about something?"

&The pizzahut's 555pizzahut deal.

Answer 6

The only one that stands out is the Ikea one where the 80 year old couple is sitting in their house and the lady see's all the kids stuff in the Ikea catalog and looks at her husband and says 'let's have another baby' i thought that was cute and funny

Answer 7

I like the " McGiver" commercial they started on Super Bowl Sunday last year and I was a Budweiser ad today with the Clydesdale's playing football and theirs a " play revue" and a Zebra is the " official " ...lol.

Answer 8

Actually, I like the GEICO gecko lizard with the Australian accent better but, yeah, those caveman commercials are cute. The little lizard, though, has such soulful eyes! What a little green babe! He's just an animated figure but he communciates so much with is body language, his posture... plus who can resist the Aussie accent?

My all-time favorite commercials of all time, however, were the ones about 10 years ago with the Taco Bell Chihuahua dog! "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" he'd say. Oh, he was cute!! And funny!!! I wish they'd bring the Chihuahua back!! It was hilarious the way he would look at people. "Drop the chalupa!" Chihuahuas look funny anyway so having the dog talk just made it funnier. As I recall, he had an accent, too. I must have a "thing" for animals with accents, LOL!

Answer 9

Don't forget the Sasquatch commericals, those are hilarious.
