Commercials you actually like

[Morgaine]

The car commercial where the guys dog swallows the fob that unlocks the car doors so he has to take the dog & hold it up the door & then they drive to the vet & he goes to take the dog in & then backtracks so he can hold the dog up to the car & roll the windows up, lock the car, etc.

It amuses me.

I was just coming to post that. I love the music. Johnny Cash, right?

[Morgaine]

I believe it is Johnny Cash.

[Lainie]

I love that ad. If that's not Johnny Cash it sounds more like him than anyone else I've ever heard.

I haven't seen it. Now I want to!

I missed the beginning of that commercial the several times I've seen it, so I didn't even realize the dog ate the keys. I thought he was holding the dog up to the door because he didn't want to put him down, and the key was in his pocket or something.

The look on the guy's face once he realizes what's happened makes me think it isn't the first time. "Not *again*!"

Cox Cable has been running a commercial with the typical tv family (Mom,Dad, teenage son and daughter) with the son narrating. He says the family doesn't have dvr so Dad makes them compete to see whose show gets taped. First they tried dodgeball, then they had to guess Mom's wait and the last you see the dad arm wrestling with the daughter (looks to be around 14) and talking trash while he does.
It mostly amuses me because of how the over-competitive dad "rigs" the competition by picking things he has a better chance of winning.

The video won't play at work. Is the song in question Johnny Cash's "Dirty Old Egg-Suckin' Dog?" (He did it once on the Muppet Show, backed up by Rolf on the piano. )

[Lainie]

Yes, that's the song.

Okay, so the new Swiffer commercial gave me a chuckle. The mom finishes up her cleaning, so she decides to take a magazine's Cool Mom Quiz. And then she asks her kids if they think she's "mom-tastic" or "mom-trocious".

She's perky in a very adorable way, and the look her kids give each other makes me laugh. It's one of those, "Our mom has lost her flipping mind," looks, but with out being really snotty.

It's probably the sort of look my kids will one day give each other once their old enough to realize how dorky their mom is.

I finally saw this, although I still haven't identified the part where I'm supposed to know what happened. Hilarious!

I like this FedEx ad.

"There's no rules!"
"Put your shirt back on!"
"There's one rule!"

It's the kid's hopeless, deadpan "that went over well" after the weight-guessing fiasco that has me giggling.

There's one running for Denny's right now with an African-American family: son, dad, and grandpa.

Dad: Hey, they've got two eggs, bacon, and pancakes for four dollars.

Grandpa: Heh. In my day, we got two eggs, bacon, and pancakes for four dollars.

I think it's the actor's delivery, but it just strikes me as hilarious.

There's a Kraft mac-and-cheese ad with a little boy, his dad and dad's dad. Dad sneaks a bite of mac-and-cheese off the boy's plate, then seems surprised/put out when his dad takes some from his plate.

Grandpa: I've been snitching mac-and-cheese for 75 years.
Dad: But I'm only 45.
Grandpa: I have another family.
Dad: (shocked) What?!
Grandpa: (perfectly calm) What?

There's a life insurance ad that has a woman talking about her husband, how he was so thoughtful to have gotten life insurance, etc. It ends with the woman saying that she really wished she could thank her husband for getting such good life insurance.

Then he comes out of a back room and says, "You're welcome!" and continues on into another room.

It starts out like a typical life insurance commercial, but takes that funny twist at the end in that her husband is still alive.

Other versions have a bit at the end where he says, "You're one lucky lady!" Her response is "Mmmm-hm..." as if she's annoyed that he stole her thunder.

Edit: Ah! Found it!

[Lainie]

I like that one, too!
