Any Moveon.org sponsored commercial: revolting.

Nothing that Moveon.org does can even come close, on the "revolting" front, to the Swift Boat ads and such that were put together by Rove and company, Doug. You conservative folks showed your true colors on that one. You took an honest to goodness military hero and denigrated him for political gain, even though you all claim to have the high ground on the issue of patriotism. How about the job your boys did on Max Cleland, a man who left a third of his body and plenty of his blood on the field of battle? Yep, I can see how you don't like Moveon. They hold a light up to the real agenda of the conservative patriots (he says while holding his nose).

I chuckle at the ads with Ellen Degeneres. Geico is borrrring. So's the aflack duck. Cavewomen? Men may laugh at men covered with a hairy fur, but they aren't going to laugh at women covered with hairy furry faces, arms & legs, etc. Some women might, though.

Love the Mastercard (i think) where the zookeeper gets sick and the elephant get a blanket & cold medicine and takes care of the keeper. So sweet.

I love the car adverts where the children and adults swap places. I think they are advertising the Zafira.

Well, I kinda liked Edie Adams trying to seduce me into picking her up some time (as the Muriel cigar lady.) Do they still make those?

I do still like the GEICO Gecco-mainly because I luv the accent & the quietness of it.Can't stand Geico's cave men.


Real Favorite is:
There ain't no bugs on me,
There ain't no bugs on me,
There may be bugs on some of you mugs,
BUT there ain't no bugs on me! TEE HEE!

Sung by the cutest lil puppy ever. He's at the swimming hole with his K9 friends. Can't thing of the product- a flea remover-Frontline?

Agreed: Ellen Degeneres commercials are a riot.

Tonight 3 new commercials:

The Best: Five Chimps in a line doing Irish Step dancing with great lively music.

Geico using a film clip of Jed Clampett's old shack & because he switched to Geico--he's now in a mansion.

THE MOST PECULIAR: Barbara Bush CLOSE-UP telling us to spend more time with our kids so they will not drink, smoke, or inject vile potions into their limbs. JEEZE-She must have been camped out on the back forty while BushBaby was growing up! I had to laugh out loud at the bloody nerve. Funny time to put this up--Just after GWB vetoed the kid's health coverage bill.

My favorite Caveman commercial is the subtlest. No dialogue at all. Just a lone Caveman rolling along on a people mover at the airport when he roll up on a sign with a "So easy even a caveman can do it" ad. He turns and walks the opposite way on the conveyor belt thus staying even with the sign for a couple seconds then turns, crosses his arms and rolls away with a disgusted look on his face.
    Does anyone know the song that plays throughout this ad?

Mickey, I just saw the one wtih the Chimps this morning and thought it was funny, too. Don't remember what they were selling, though.

BTW the show "CAVEMEN" premiered two nights ago and was mediocre at best. It's not even yhe same Cavemen from the ad campaign.

I've been looking through The Vienna Collection, some wonderful advertising spots for Vienna tourism. Take a look - I think you'll enjoy them.

Becca, If you put a gun to my head I couldn't tell the product either.

Perhaps Chongo will know-I noticed a strong resemblance to him - 3rd from the left. Might be a shirttail relative of his.

I think the one with the step-dancing chimps is for Arbie's.

Yeah, the "There ain't no bugs on me" commercial is one of my favorites. But I think my all-time favorite is this one:

CLICKY.

Need I say more?
