What are some of your favorite Commercials, and try to explain them best you can.
There is a commercial where the office gets Burger King (I think? Don't Care) for lunch, and they have many different and funny versions.
One of my favorite is a guy who gets some spicy new sandwich in his office cubicle with another guy standing there. Some very nice looking woman office worker comes in and asks for a bite. He lets her have a bite, and she takes a very 'sexy' bite of the sandwich!
She gives him back the sandwich and leaves; the other guys says something like, “Wow, that is like making out with her”!
The other guy holds the sandwich and gives it a very lame and sexy kiss.
Cracks me up!
If you don't watch TV, perhaps you have a radio or billboard that made you laugh?

Picture a film shot in the early 20th century. You know 1905 or something. It's not quite black and white, but a little brownish and very cracky.
It's a film of one of those old cars. It's being loaded onto the back of a truck. It nearly rolls back down, but they manage to get it up on time.
Then the truck drives away and the car starts rocking from side to side, nearly tipping over the side...but the truck gets to the shipyard just before the car does roll off.
So they have to hoist the car up on to the deck of the large ship and as the car's being hoisted you can see the rope sliding over a rough patch on the ship's hull...the rope nearly tears, but they manage to get the car on top of the ship, just before the rope snaps.
The ship sails away...and you get to see the name of it: The titanic.
Then you get the insurance logo.

Another one of these Burger King(?) commercials is a mousish guy getting an Angus Burger with nothing on it. The big guy in the office asks if he is "man enough" for this burger.
As he reaches out for the burger you see a barb-wire tatoo around his upper arm just under his short sleeve office shirt.
That sexy lady says something like, "A tatoo!? That is tough"! She reaches out to touch the tatoo and it smudges!
Mouse guys says, "Its just a place holder, it's gonna be cool when I get it"!
The big guys says, "I'll be laughing, will anyone else be laughing"?
Another guy raises his hand already laughing.
Pretty funny if you ask me, not sure I told the whole thing right... hope you get the point.

I remember one form Argentina, where you hear a really wierd screaming, and the camera is going through the city streets. This screaming happens for about 20 secoinds, and then, we get to a building where the camera zooms up the side. It looks through a window, and there is this guy screaming, with his hands around his jeans zipper in pain. Ouch. I think it was for cargo shorts, or something.
i love the "if smirnoff made..." ones-
a man sliding down the banister with a large *thing* that you get at the bottom of bannisters..."if smirnoff made painkillers!"
etc etc-they were great!
teh sickest i've ever seen though was on tarrant on TV-twas an american advert for a security system. it was a blue background with the words of a phone call scrolling down the screen, and the phonecall was played to you. it was a real phonecall to 911, and it was some young lady calling cuase there was an intruder in the house. she described his movements, and when he eventually found her you could hear her asking-petrified-"what do you want? why are you hear?!?" then the line went dead, and the screen displayed text telling how so-and-so was brtually raped. and then said that if she had bought a certain security system she'd have been be ok. tasteless or what?!? 😕

Perhaps it was pulled!?
Also, if she was on the line will 911, they should have been to the house in under 6 minutes.
Favorite is the topic here, but thanks for sharing! Hard to say anything fun and funny after that post.

"isn't it great when everythiing just..works?"
yup!
There is one for an investment company I think, or some other 'hands on' company that should be 'in the know'.
A gay and a lady are looking out a window. Someone on the street drops an umbrella....
The lady in the window says, "Great, now there will be cats everywhere".
Someone trips over the unbrella, steps in the road, car swerves, and a big truck full of milk tips over.
A ton of cats come out of nowhere to lap up the milk in the street.
The other guy in the window with the lady just kind of looks at her in amazement.

Originally posted by PhlabibitOne of my favorites is an old Dutch one. A chicken is shown that is trying to get away from the person who is handling the camera; this person is yelling "oh, oh, oh!!" in what seems to be increasing sexual arousal. After about 20 seconds of chasing the chicken with continuous "oh, oh oh"'s, the voice-over says:

"Oh, oh, oh. How great those chickens taste
with seasonings from Silvo."
