"Don't attend your own funeral disguised as a guy name Phil Schifly."

That's one of Penny's ex-BF's from Big Bang Theory, BTW. The one that dressed up as Superman.

I like Allstate's Mayhem ads, especially the ones that are targeted towards a local audience.

[Lainie]

You get Mayhem ads that are targeted to a local audience? I don't think we do. I am jealous.

[Gibbie]

I don't know where or when this is airing, but this is beautiful:

The Security Footage You Don't See (from Coke)

Yes--there are two radio ads that target a Baltimore audience. Once is about a Baltimore Oriole--the bird not the baseball player--that craps all over someone's windshield, and the other is about a blue crab that suddenly found itself in someone's cooler in the backseat of a car. The crab gets loose when the cooler overturns and proceeds to bite the driver's toe.

Grumble grumble they could come up with something for Ohio if they tried. A tornado, for pete's sake, or an ice storm.

Same with Texas! All the severe thunderstorms? Although, I guess they already did one with a wind storm, but that leaves hail and lightning and such.

I love Allstate's Mayhem.

I think the dog one might be my favorite ever. "HEY! . . . You guys are great."

[Swordmaster]

That one is my favorite, too! I break out laughing every time.

[justusfour]

The GPS one gets me everytime. Turn RIGHT NOW!

[Lainie]

The older one where he's standing on the tree branch, bouncing up and down, was good too.

[Swordmaster]

I normally don't like the Subway commercials with the little kid voices, but the one with the fire fighters cracks me up.

I don't know who I love most in the commercial, 'cause they're all hilarious!

Just watched it, for some reason it bought a tear to my eye...

The Geico "people saving money" ads have a new one, with a pet opossum.

"Dad, I think it's dead."
"Nah, it's just playing opossum."
HISSS
"there you go."

[Lainie]

The VW Jetta ad where the solid thunk of the door shutting knocks first the kid's lost toys, then a kitty (who lands on his feet an runs away), out of a tree.

I especially love that the kitty meows and then runs off, as if to say "thanks, gotta go!"

[Swordmaster]

The Boy Toy loves the pet opossum commercial.

[firefighter_raven]

Directv has a new one where the guy learns karate and becomes the "fist of goodness".

[Twankydillo]

I quite like the National Lottery advert with the runners mum talking about how her daughter lives the dream she couldn't. "She runs, and I run with her!". It's sentimental, but not annoyingly so to me.

[JoeBentley]

The original "Freecreditscore.com" band is back.

[firefighter_raven]

Farmers Insurance's "University of Farmers" commercials are all pretty funny.
