I don't watch TV much, but my current favorite TV commercial is this one.

If you don't feel like clicking, it's the fatherhood.org commercial in which this really goofy guy is dancing to a pop song for a seemingly unknown reason, and at the end, you realize he's helping his daughter learn dance moves, as it says, "It takes a man to be a dad."

Love it  :)

Wish my dad was that goofy.

What's your favorite commercial, and why?

Some recent commercials that come to mind that gave me some laughs.

That diet Pepsi one where that dad tries to kick it old school with funny results. :)

That new I believe it's budwiser that's offering those 2 free steaks and they bring in that serious guy to prove to people that they are serious,  good stuff.

Oh and while searching around the net and such I found an oldish beer commericial that used to be played here, funny stuff, got the link and everything, it's good stuff, I'll let everyone take a look, ;).

Well there is always that viral ad for the VW Polo... but that wasn't a real commercial and some members here would probably be repulsed by it... so I won't be posting it.

Also, I dont really have a favourite advert but one that springs to mind is

''Belly's Gonna Get Ya'' (A trainer advert)

Problem is i forgot what brand of trainers were being advertised  :)

Currently, the Gene Kelly remixed advert for the new Golf GTi - awesome.

Aureliano, you sure that's an advert and not in fact a spoof advert? There's a whole series of them made by some company, you can get posters and stuff - my flatmate a couple of years ago had one.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure and not interested enough to check. But I remember seeing one hanging from the wall in a bar, and eck, it looked professional enough.

I'm not sure which is my favorite commercial, tey don't really stick in my head to long, but I know that the commercials for Tide (or Tix), must be banned!!!!

DakaSha:if you go into a kindergarden and give all the kids rubber schlongs they will prob just hit each other over the head with them
DakaSha:and you have a class of little kids hitting eachother with rubber dongs which must be quite funny (also Picklweasel knight I am)

Is that: ''Mama, mama, o?enit ću učiteljicu...''? Awful!!!!
P.S. That  means: ''Momma, I'll marry my teacher!"

There was a commercial for Toyota Avensis, made here in Iceland.

It was based on a story by Jens Sigsgaard, about a boy who's alone in the world. Really cool..

The commercial was shot downtown in the middle of the night, so there are no people around. But it looks like a day, it was taken in the summer  :)

A nice commercial I've recently seen is of Budweiser.

There're two guys, and each has a dog. The first guy's dog is nice and good-looking, the second guy's dog is curly and dirty.
The first guy's praising his dog, and says:"Fetch!". The dog goes to a portable fridge, opens it and gets a Budweiser for his owner.
The first guy looks at the other one's dogs with a smile, and says:"So what can your dog do?" The other guy says:"Bobby? Budweiser!" The dog bits the first guy in the nuts, he makes a girly scream and the beer flies on the other guy's hands! He says"Baaaaad dog!"


Nice commercial, but Budweiser is just yellow-looking water.
