What's the best commercial you've ever seen?

I still love the SportsCenter ads. And as much as I can't stand Roger Clemens, this one was brilliant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycwwkCFmpPw

You?

      Haha! This makes me want an Imzy community for commercials.

      • SteveHofstetterApr 02, 2016 at 1:10 PMΔ

        Absolutely make this happen.

  • posteratorApr 02, 2016 at 11:29 AMΔ

    Maybe not the BEST ever, but certainly funny at the time! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJmqCKtJnxM

    • Harpo_MarxApr 02, 2016 at 1:38 PMΔ

      A classic, without question.

  • Harpo_MarxApr 02, 2016 at 1:39 PMΔ

    Notwithstanding my previous comment, I think I just remembered my favorite commercial ever. It was my favorite when I first saw it in 7th grade, and I've yet to see better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyeDEAWtAR8

    • tacman82Apr 02, 2016 at 4:14 PMΔ

      Haven't seen that one before. Nice!

  • NathanielleSeanApr 02, 2016 at 2:06 PMΔ

    The whole Caveman series of commercials from Geico.

    • imanalienApr 03, 2016 at 10:52 AMΔ

      Geico is always so hit or miss for me. Some of their ads are SO funny, but so many of them I get super annoyed with or just feel are lame. It's one of the only brands that I both really hate and really love their commercials.

      • NathanielleSeanApr 03, 2016 at 11:13 AMΔ

        I think MAD Magazine said it perfectly. It's hard to put any faith in a company that can't stick with one campaign. On the other hand, I have to give them credit for coming up with so many long running concepts.

        The Cavemen one was probably the first time I could ever call a commercial "high concept". And I remember being doubtful when I found that they were going to turn it into an actual television series, but from what I understand it wasn't as bad as people thought it would be.

      • imanalienApr 03, 2016 at 11:14 AMΔ

        Yeah, that's probably part of the problem. They have no real consistent branding or personality or anything, so it's hard to get a real feel for them and if I do or don't like them. So many highs and lows.

      • NathanielleSeanApr 03, 2016 at 11:15 AMΔ

        Fortunately, I've never needed their services.

  • ComedyChickApr 02, 2016 at 12:09 PMΔ

    Years ago, there was a Snapple commercial where it seemed like a serious diving event, but the guy plunged into the water and got 0.0 from every judge and he was celebrating. I don't know why it made me laugh so hard, but I still do.

  • SKepley12Apr 02, 2016 at 10:27 AMΔ

    That 1-800-Contacts commercial where the package comes and the guy says "those can't be my brand, I have special eyes", and the wife holds up the box and says "look with your special eyes", and he dramatically drawls "my braaand" and buries his face into her shoulder. I don't completely understand why exactly it's so funny to me, but to this day my brothers and I still quote it at each other occasionally so I guess it somehow made the tops list.

    • imanalienApr 03, 2016 at 10:53 AMΔ

      Haha, do you have a link to it? That sounds super weird and hilarious.

      • SKepley12Apr 03, 2016 at 2:16 PMΔ

        Hang tight, I'll find it lol

      • SKepley12Apr 03, 2016 at 2:38 PMΔ

        [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xrqdduneB-o] It's a bit choppy but it'll do lol

  • Harpo_MarxApr 02, 2016 at 1:36 PMΔ

    I'm not sure whether or not is the best I've ever seen, but since you brought up sports ads, this is probably my favorite baseball commercial (with Yogi's Geico commercial being a close second). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NLEpyw3tSU

    • SteveHofstetterApr 02, 2016 at 2:38 PMΔ

      Love that ad.

    • tacman82Apr 02, 2016 at 4:15 PMΔ

      Ha! Yes! Being a Cubs fan, I remember Piniella's many meltdowns, and this commercial was just perfect.

  • EnderandrewApr 02, 2016 at 4:18 PMΔ

    All of the Irn Bru commercials are gold.

    • tacman82Apr 02, 2016 at 4:35 PMΔ

      Hahaha, wow! New to me. Some of these are hilarious!

    • SteveHofstetterApr 02, 2016 at 5:10 PMΔ

      These are fantastic

  • tacman82Apr 02, 2016 at 4:21 PMΔ

    Probably my favorite SportsCenter ad recently is the one with Metallica. "First lesson's free!" https://youtu.be/Sbx6K6N3UCg

    • SteveHofstetterApr 02, 2016 at 5:11 PMΔ

      Never saw this one. Love it.

  • tacman82Apr 02, 2016 at 4:28 PMΔ

    This is definitely NOT the best commercial I've ever seen. But, I grew up with it, and (at least in the Chicago area) it's become kinda legendary for being so over-the-top bad that you can't help but admire the sheer lack of give-a-crap this commercial had. "Oh, look at those low rates!" https://youtu.be/O4-e4nlfdRI

    • SteveHofstetterApr 02, 2016 at 6:39 PMΔ

      That is the best worst thing.

  • posteratorApr 02, 2016 at 2:56 PMΔ

    Was just remembering 2 commercials from when I was a child:

    Koolaid man

    Hubbabubba

    So good

  • imanalienApr 03, 2016 at 10:48 AMΔ

    I'm so bummed I can't find a better quality video of this, because her facial expressions are some of the best parts and they're not quite as good with the grainy quality, but this is still super hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_FpCI9bypQ

  • ChrisTheMetsFanApr 02, 2016 at 6:12 PMΔ

    There was one for Century 21 where Cal Ripken (I think) was giving away a house for hitting a baseball off a tee, but the "joke" was that everyone got one. A guy hit the ball really badly, and yelled "Stupid!" about himself. Cal said "You win a house!" and the guy walked away angry, like "Yeah..." I've never found it on line (and it's funnier than how I've described it). Anyone recognize it?

  • CameggittApr 02, 2016 at 3:29 PMΔ

    Wazzzuuuuuup???

  • JimBryanApr 02, 2016 at 2:50 PMΔ

    The eyeglasses ad where the husband lops off a chunk of his wife's hair.

    • imanalienApr 03, 2016 at 10:52 AMΔ

      Haha I haven't seen that one, but it sounds hilarious.
