Ninety-nine percent of the time when a TV show breaks for a commercial I hit the mute button. Fast. I hate commercials, mostly because here in the U.S. they are dull and have all have gone through a battery of exhaustive, mandatory screenings and analysis for political correctness, racial balance and other agenda-driven baloney to not piss-off a particular demographic group. It's enough to make one never want to purchase a durable consumer good ever again.

And then there's the Bud Light commercials. Oh I still believe light beers taste like insipid water but I find these series of commercials refreshingly funny and witty. Set in medieval times in a mythical kingdom where-- if you took a cast of overtly midwest twenty-first century Americans and placed them in a time machine-- there lives a lord who spends his entire day obsessing over light beer and banishing mead drinkers to the pit of misery. His frequent guests are the very prissy Count Pamplemouse and his wife who apparently have no problem commuting from France to England during the Middle Ages, across the English Channel, without Air France, British Airways, easyJet or the high-speed train through the tunnel.

LOVE the Mayhem commercials. Doesn't hurt that Dean Winters is good looking and the ads are funny.

I found my FAVORITE ONE of all time... "You're good!" :joy:


Fuck that guy is hilarious. And yes, handsome too.

Haverty's Furniture Store in my area ran a slew of commercials featuring the same female lead. She's just deadpan funny as shit. The commercials are serialized. If you can find them on-line, start with the first one and watch in succession.

Clever and edgy at times, with awkwardness permeating many of them. Again, in a really great way that just makes me laugh out loud.

The female lead had a bit part in the Bridesmaid movie. Hilarious there too! Here's a sample:

They run those commercials in Tampa where there's a Haverty's in Carrollwood. I looked-up that actress who's great; she's comedian Emily Tarver.

From the initial saxophone intro notes to the incredibly catchy tune and lyrics, this is a 30-second TV commercial that ought to be an actual sit-com series. The actors are 1980s perfect, and have better comedic sight-gags and timing than anything I've seen recently on actual nighttime television. And what's up with the guys with the fish? (lol)

Just like any other family; the house, the kids and living the dream. But here comes the wacky new maid.

Is she an alien, is she a spy? She's always here but won't tell us why.....

"Not happy, Jan!"

Australian TV commercials are pretty horrendous nowadays (especially with a federal election on at the moment) but this ad for telephone directories (i.e. for businesses to buy ad/listing space) spawned a catchphrase.

My all time favorite commercial was the British Airways commercial from 1989 to the music of Lakme. A more recent one that makes me laugh, then wince, then cross my legs, is the one where Maria Sharapova hits a tennis ball into Novak Djokovic's nuts.

Here is the video with a gorgeous (then) 25-year-old Maria Sharapova and Novak. The more I watch it, the more I believe it was staged. But what man would invite a serve to his crotch without wearing a plastic cup like major league baseball catchers wear? At the end Maria calls for "new balls please."

Not to be a snob, but since we dropped cable tv everything I watch is Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and I haven’t seen a commercial since (American) football season ended.

The TVs at the gym show dumb daytime TV commercials for household cleaning products, injury law firms, and car insurance.

I don't see many commercials either - ever since I bought a DVR/PVR, I just record everything and fast forward through the ads when I watch it later.
