I actually like commercials.....well only the good ones. There have been some classics over the years, so share some of the ones you liked.

I think the new AXE commercial is a classic. And can anyone name that music...I love it.

Neat commercial - very stylish.

The theme reminds me of the old 'Hai Karate' men's cologne TV ads from the 70's. The man would spray some on, and women would suddenly be physically attracted to him, and he would have to use karate moves to fend them off.

One of these ads can be seen at the above google video link ... just do a search for 'Hai Karate tv ad'

Vern

Country Club Malt Liquor had this series of adds where some regular guy would be enjoying his beer in harms way, ignoring all that was around him, like in the ring at a bullfight.

Also, the famous spokesperson adds...Eddy from Zacheryall, Mr Blackwell for Carpeteria, Pat Boone for Hoffy (served at Pink's) and of course anything with Cal Worthington and his dog Spot.

Just love the VW ones w/the "German" guy all in white [the bad guy from the movie Fargo] They just WRECK the "cool" guys car. Then says stuff like..."We just dropped it like a CHART!" w/a thick accent. Ya, V-Dub, in da house! Funny,EVERY TIME!

The infamous Smart Beep commercial definitely ranks.

It's a beer BTW

I do like the Geico commercials... Geico Caveman

OMAHA, Neb. -- ABC has inked a deal that may look a lot like 30-minute weekly ads for an insurance company, ShowBuzz.com reported on Monday.

The cavemen featured in Berkshire Hathaway-owned GEICO car insurance commercials have a cult following. Comedian John Lehr told Newsweek magazine that he has been mobbed by paparazzi that want their own photos taken with him in caveman costume. He plays one of his cavemen in the wildly popular ads.

ShowBuzz.com reported that the creators of "Third Rock From the Sun" have signed a two-year deal with ABC to create a sitcom based on the cavemen. Bill Martin and Mike Schiff reportedly signed a seven-figure pact, which has an option for a third year. They also will develop new projects for ABC TV Studio.

Much like in the ads, the three cavemen will navigate regular modern life from their homes in Atlanta, ShowBuzz reported.

The popularity of the cavemen has been good for GEICO. Newsweek reported that since 1998, sales have jumped to $11 billion from $2.8 billion. The insurer's own site offers caveman merchandise for sale.

Can the cavemen make it as TV stars? The site also allows fans to read the cavemen's blog and tour their apartment on CavemansCrib.com.

Spike Jones and his City-Slickers!!!

Here is a neat site where you can annoy the Geico CaveMan.

Great commercials Cheeky & 54. Life would be so dull without UTube.

FATIMA BLUSH: Oh, how reckless of me. I made you all wet.
JAMES BOND: Yes, but my martini is still dry.

Thanks for the link. I've passed it around here where others have more time to play with it. Evidently, you can annoy the caveman to the point where he kicks you out of his apartment.

OMG...I didn't know that....too frikken funny...I am going to have to play on there some more. Several attacks on my car by other cars wound me up at the shi shi autoshop today. I have Geico and there is a rep at the auto body place. They had some bumper stickers with the picture of the caveman stating..."CAVEMEN ARE PEOPLE TOO"...scored 3 of those and also one of those cardboard masks on a stick with the cavemans face on it...damn funny!!!. I am gonna whip that out next time I am playing cards with the girls. Plus my Mom hates the caveman....so that will come in handy when I go over to her house.

Wow...the caveman show bombed...they should have just stuck with the Geico commercial.

This one cracked me up tonight.
