    Default greatest ad campaign evarr!?

    post your fav commercial or and entire ad campaign.

    my vote is for geico's caveman ads, some of thier more recent gecko ones have been good too, but the cave man ones take the cake.

    man.. dont spoil the fun. I just saw the commercial and thought it would be a fun thread. Go ahead and post whatever you think is the best, or good or whatever, but dont be a negative nancy. No one likes a negative nancy.

    My favorite commercial is definitely a Miller Lite ad from about 10 or 15 years ago where Bob Uecker and Randy White (sports personalities from the 80's) were bass fashing and White said something like, "Hey fish, get in the boat, NOW!" hundreds of fish jumped out of the water and landed in the boat. Then he was like "Fishing ain't so tough. Hey you, you're too small, get back in the water" and a little fish jumped back in.

    I can't find a video of it unfortunately. I found another one from the same ad campaign but this one isn't that funny.

    Need the US version. It says something about "stunt double city" or something.


    You guys are all disappointing me. ESPN's commercials are better than any other. Anyone see the recent one of Chad Johnson consulting the ESPN guys for endzone dances "can i get smoke?" LOL

    No one likes the 'Milwaukee's Best' ESPN (usually during poker shows anyway) commercials? Granted, they are getting a little tired, but the initial run I though was pretty damn funny!

    I think my favorite one to date is the trampline one...

    Oklahoma, at some point in the next 15 yrs... Apparently
    i enjoyed the NHL.com commercials from several years ago:
    Paul Kariya in the diner, flicking peas with a knife...
    Keith Tchacuk assisting the woman who locked her keys in the car...

    Also liked the ads showing the retired goaltenders lamenting the end of their careers while in full gear at the counter of the burger joint and such...
    Someone would come up the them and say 'Hey, didn't you used to play for so-ad-so team'. At which point the 'tender would go off on a tirade...
    One had a ex-goaltender in a sandwich board, complaining about Sergei Fedorov and his 'fancy white Nike skates'.

    Anyone remember these ones?

    Of the current ads, I like the career builder ones with the line 'tired of working with a bunch of monkeys?'. It has the chimps with the laser pens...
    I usually gotta rewind that one a few times till I stop laughing at it, or untill whoever is in the room with me gets annoyed. Whichever comes first.
    (Then I'll play it once more anyway.)
    Of course I have bad days...
    Sometimes I'll go a whole day without quads.

    The mention of Nike made me think of this one:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NseKug63naM

    I always thought it was just amazing, but if you never saw Jordan in his hay day it probably isn't quite as cool.

    I also love the Touareg commercial w/ the Richard Buckner's song Ariel Ramirez playing the background. But after a quick search I can't find it anywhere...

    In terms of funny, I believe ESPN wins the prize... a personal favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1qEBvPmI1s

    The Southwest Airlines "It must be Football Season" ads are pretty decent, with the funniest by far being the one in the supermarket, where the checker says "I'm open".. and the shopper picks a pineapple out of his cart and just drills the guy with it. It cracks me up everytime.

    I absolutely despised The Quiznos Subs commercials w/ the singing mice, the first dozen times they saw them. But to this day, I can't hear someone mention Quiznos and not think... "THEY GOT A PEPPER BAR!!!".
    So you click their picture and then you get their money?

    I know the one you're talking about. It was back in the 70s. It was Dick Butkus, Ted Hendricks and Bubba Smith. Bubba is driving the boat. Ted comes out of the cabin and asks Dick if he wants a beer and asks "How's the fishing going?". Dick says "It's EASY!" and then "ALL YOU FISH...GET IN THE BOAT!" and the water starts splashing as fish jump from every direction into the boat. There's a commentary about MILLER LITE and when it comes back, Ted is talking to Dick and says " Hey Dick! Isn't that one a bit too small?" and Dick says "HEY YOU....SMALL FRY....GET OUTTA HERE!" and the fish POPS back into the water!!

    Funniest commercial I ever saw!!!

    Out of curiosity, am I the only person in the world who doesn't find shit like that remotely funny? Like everybody seems to find "America's Funniest Home Videos", which is essentially just people jacking themselves up, hilarious and it doesn't do anything for me at all. I feel like Bart in the episode of The Simpsons where he sells his soul and doesn't have a sense of humour any more.

    I still get a little chuckle out of some of this stuff, but I agree, more nuanced humor is better at making me laugh.
