Title: Funny Television Commercials.
Post by: David In Indy on June 26, 2007, 06:58:28 pm: I HATE television commercials, but I enjoy watching this one. It's one of my favorites. The only part missing from this commercial is the Comcast tag line at the end. I love the little dog in it! :D

Susie, here's one of those Geico commercials I was telling you about featuring the talking gecko! :D

Post by: Shasta542 on June 26, 2007, 07:25:04 pm: I have a funny one that I like, but I don't know how to post it off of YouTube---can ya'll school me?

O. Never mind. :P

Post by: David In Indy on June 26, 2007, 07:33:13 pm: Thanks for posting those Susie! I'll watch them with Alex when he gets back home. I sent him out on an errand. :)

He's probably seen them before, but maybe not. I'm on dial-up and these commercials sometimes take 10 or 15 minutes to load up on this computer. I can't wait to watch them though! :)

Anyone else have some favorite commercials, besides Susie and me?? :D

I presume you have these in the states ... they all speak with American accents.

Accent? What accent?

We don't have accents Susie! People in England have accents. Alex has an accent. You do too probably. But we don't! We talk regular here; especially folks in Indiana! ;) ;) :D

By the way, I LOVE British accents! :)

I love Heath's accent. :)

But you see, we British think our teeny tiny island is the centre of the Universe .. and don't forget, it is the "English" language afterall!

Did you say that Alex comes from bonny Scotland? ... I love the Scot's accent ... och-eye-the-noo!!

Susie (http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_1_201.gif)

BTW I'm a sucker for an American accent ... especially with a gentle southern drawl!

Alex is from England Susie. He was born in London, but he and his family moved to Newcastle Upon Tyne when he was 6 or 7. So, he grew up pretty close to Scotland. He lives back in London now. He doesn't have the "musical" accent of the North though. He has an accent very similar to Hugh Grant. He calls me "mate" all the time. I love it! :)

Alex says some of the cutest things. I love all the British colloquialisms. They're absolutely charming. :)

Kelda is from Scotland. I'm sure you've posted with her before. She lives in Glasgow I think. Maybe Edinburgh. She'll probably find this thread very soon and post in it. She's a good friend of mine here. :D

This here is my favorite, it's the newest commercial for Amstel 1870 beer, one of Holland's leading beer brands.

Ah Mel, that takes me back to when we lived in Germany. We used to watch Dutch TV all the time .... never understood a word they were saying but I loved the language!

Susie (http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_1_201.gif)

Haha! That's funny! But you do speak German then?

Sorry dat je er helemaal niks van begreep, ik zal het proberen te vertalen!

This is one of Britain's much loved comedians, Peter Kay. He's from the north and known for his down-to-earth, working class humour, here's a few of his ads for John Smith Beer....

Ah another beer commercial!
Title: Re: Funny Television Commercials.
Post by: David In Indy on June 27, 2007, 02:04:23 pm: This isn't a funny commercial, but I thought I would post it here anyway! ;) :D

How many of you remember this NBC Network ID from the 1960's??

I do!!! :D

I just watched the commercial Melissa! I loved the modern truck pulling up to all the guys in black and white. Very cool! 8)

They sell Amstel beer here. Heineken too! Heineken is GOOOOOOOOD!! Yummy!

Thanks for posting that commercial! I love watching commercials from other countries. :D

Thanks to Susie too for posting hers. :D

Post by: David In Indy on June 27, 2007, 03:53:53 pm: [nostalgic] Okay. For all of you feeling a bit nostalgic after watching that NBC ID, I found something else for you to enjoy!

Remember those great General Cinema trailers we watched just before our favorite movie appeared on the silver screen?

Wanna see 'em again? Eric, Phillip and Clarissa found some over on youtube and posted them for us; complete with the GCC movie projector logo and the "rat-tat-tat" from the drums!

These aren't in chronological order though. The first group is from the mid mid 1980's, the second group from the 1990's, the third from the early 1980's and the fourth and fifth from the 1970's. Each clip is 15 - 20 seconds long.

These will bring back many memories for all of us who remember General Cinema and spent much time there; and even more memories for those of us who actually worked for GCC. :)

http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,10967.0.html (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,10967.0.html)

Okay, I'll stop being so nostalgic now! I promise! [/nostalgic]

Back to the funny commercials! :D

Yeah, I love that commercial too Shasta. Those of us with dogs can sympathize. I always wipe Cody's bottom with toilet paper when he comes in, and he gets regular worm treatments so I don't have that problem with him very often, fortunately. :)

Here's another cute commercial, this time of a puppy! :D

I LOVE this one....

Post by: Shasta542 on June 27, 2007, 10:23:44 pm: I love the Advantix one too, David---and that's what I use for my dogs. That little voice is so cute. What kind of dog is Cody?

The pup reminds me of my Oakley when she was a baby. She's big now--about 80 pounds. She's pretty and I love her, but OMG--she's as dumb as a rock. And it's not from no training---the others are well-behaved and obedient. She was a rescue and I'm not so sure that her parents weren't related. :P

Oakley is adorable!!! Is she a Lab? I love Labs! :D They are very good dogs.

Cody is a Golden Retriever, Shasta. He's a three year old Golden Retriever, but he THINKS he's still a puppy. He's my baby. He loves EVERYONE! I've always told people if I was ever robbed, Cody would help the robbers carry out all my possessions! He's a good watch dog though, because he barks whenever he hears something. But as soon as he sees the person, he stops his barking.

I have a tuxedo cat named Oreo too! And two gold fish that LOVE it when I pet them. I stick my hand down in their tank and they swim right up and I pet them! :D

Can you believe it? I have some very strange animals in my house! :laugh:

Yeah, that Advantix is good stuff. I use it on Cody too.

BTW, I love the Geico cavemen too. Did you know they are thinking about making a television series about them?

LMAO! I just love those cavemen commercials, they crack me up. Have you heard, that NBC (i think) already has a "geico cavemen" pilot to air this fall? IMO that's a little over the top, but it could suprise me and end up being a complete success :laugh: :laugh:

These two are some of my favorite commercials.

I just can't watch this one and not do the little dance with the guy! Great stuff :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
[youtube=425,350]http://youtube.com/watch?v=wYX_zhlTDr8[/youtube]

OMG! I don't even like Wendy's burgers, but i can't help but to laugh out loud at this commercial when ever it comes on! i just love his wig! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: O0

Post by: mvansand76 on June 29, 2007, 10:44:41 am: There is an insurance company in Holland called "Centraal Beheer" and they are situated in Apeldoorn. They have a whole run of commercials with the same kind of idea behind it and at the end they say "Even Apeldoon bellen." which means "Let's give Apeldoorn a call.". They had some really hilarious commercials in the past, like these here....
