There’s a reason they made so many [“I’m a Mac. I’m a PC.”](https://youtu.be/qfv6Ah_MVJU?si=MDebGm33UKEDK4Qh) commercials. They were more entertaining than most of the shows they were on.
I loved all those bizarre surrealist skittles commercials from the early/mid 2000s. Same with the old apice commercials. They really hit the spot when i was baked watching adult swim at 2am
Or the detective one. "Want to protect 'em? I'm your man. Stake out that corner while I stick to my plan. Mmmm...grape, orange, berry, lemon and lime. Barney's got Fred's Pebbles, one more time!"
Who are you calling a Cootie Queen you lint licker!??!
Orbitz! Dirty mouth? Clean it up!

Idk my bff Jill?
I don’t even remember what that was for but the grandma saying “MYOB willya?” Always made me chuckle
The FreeCreditReport guy is [still very active and out there](https://youtu.be/wU74OW_xEHM?si=Bzw1Mb1aIo7d1ZSz).
The little lad who loves berries and cream also has a pretty impressive resumé.
The Budweiser Wassssssup one was awesome, along with those I Am Canadian by Molson were also good. Wendy’s Where’s the Beef is another iconic, good one.
I’m showing my age here though lol.
When I was a kid, everyone I knew was mesmerized by the same [Colgate Pump commercial](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5nGxImToujE). It had striking visuals with silhouettes and bold patterns, and its British ska/pop song ("Baggy Trousers" by Madness) was a new sound to us.
I miss seeing movie trailers. Looking back over the last decade it’s weird how many movies I’ve missed because I just stream most things and if you don’t catch it in the news/entertainment section you’ll never know.
Most 90's kids commercials. Moon Shoes, Crossfire, anything that used cringey rap, etc.
The Doublemint Twins Doublemint Gum commercials for what should be fairly obvious reasons.
Also, that one Battletanx commercial where a group of tanks hunted down and blew up the Snuggle Bear.
3 VW "unpimp your auto" commercials
https://youtu.be/e1MNEqCr748?si=eVtP9ATZaGCJwErI
Not even a VW fan, but how do you not enjoy Peter Stormare in this?
They used to have a thing in Scotland (they may still do) where they would have a spectacular ad at midnight on New Year, akin to Super Bowl ads in America. This was my favorite...

The NHL has had some excellent ones like the History Will Be Madee campaign but [Cup Raise](https://youtu.be/NYwA9s-hjMs?si=kB_Yc1RkcQy4twBW) is simply amazing.
I remember in high school, our English teacher was trying to get us to think about humor in literature, so she asked us what we considered funny. I snapped off, with zero hesitation, the Rold Gold pretzel commercials with Jason Alexander.
I will watch anything with Muppets. I remember when Facebook came out with a tablet, they had these adorable ads with Muppets video chatting with each other. Just loved those!
Also loved all the old Coke Christmas ads with the polar bears, and the train with all the lights on it.
It’s 10pm, do you know where your children are?
Every time I saw that commercial I got pissed off I was home like a lame ass instead of being on the streets dicking around lmao.
For those who lived in or near Los Angeles in the 1980s, though the jingle was used in many cities:
[Pete Ellis Automotive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3Ezn8eLfm8)
Blockbuster Video 1998 when Titanic (1997) would become available on VHS:

those old macho man slim jim ads
mac tonight
advertising used to be better in this country before we all became the "what a pro needs" vacous bullshit or the iphone talking pictures
Mentos ads were good too. The jingle is s-tier
More recent, but the Progressive ones about turning into your parents are pretty funny.
I love those! "Now what does it mean to 'slide into someone's DMs?' That sounds like a lot of fun!" "No we're not ready for that!" LOL
Dr Rick is great

[I'm a little lad who loves berries and cream.](https://youtu.be/6xT7wo80wsI?si=MJg_O8L1votV4uND)
ESPN- *This is Sportscenter* series of ads. "Charley Steiner, come get your whoopin'!"
This Walmart commercial. [**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsvAj6qfmFQ**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsvAj6qfmFQ)
The old TNT button ads were pretty cool. [Here’s one.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIkPeZKP-d4)
The Budweiser Frogs. Geico caveman.
If I am stuck watching commercials, please, [make them weird.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9ZUJNgwlfY)
Yes! I really miss the surrealist humor erra of commercials from the early 2000s
Korean ads are so much better than America ones now they go all out
The Nissan "Dogs Love Trucks" campaign from the late 90s. Very magical.
Bud Bowl
I loved all those bizarre surrealist skittles commercials from the early/mid 2000s. Same with the old apice commercials. They really hit the spot when i was baked watching adult swim at 2am
That skittles one where the guy explains shaking someones hand and that mans family never seeing him again…pretty dark
I liked the Sonic series of commercials with the two guys.
I'm the master rapper and I'm here to say. I love fruity pebbles in a major way
Or the detective one. "Want to protect 'em? I'm your man. Stake out that corner while I stick to my plan. Mmmm...grape, orange, berry, lemon and lime. Barney's got Fred's Pebbles, one more time!"
Who are you calling a Cootie Queen you lint licker!??! Orbitz! Dirty mouth? Clean it up! ——— Idk my bff Jill? I don’t even remember what that was for but the grandma saying “MYOB willya?” Always made me chuckle
The K-Mart “I just shipped my pants” ad always cracks me up. https://youtu.be/_8enIDEKrzA?si=PUqP3HrIyJ5NZNl4 Also, all of the Orbitz gum ads.
Who you callin' 'cootie queen,' you lint licker?!
FreeCreditReport.com, but the ones with the band of very white dudes
I shoulda’ seen this comin’ at me like an atom bomb
Well I was shopping for a new car, which one’s me?
The FreeCreditReport guy is [still very active and out there](https://youtu.be/wU74OW_xEHM?si=Bzw1Mb1aIo7d1ZSz). The little lad who loves berries and cream also has a pretty impressive resumé.
I liked the U.S. Marines recruiting ads with the knight when I was a little kid, thought they were really cool.
Any of the Allstate ads with Dean Winters
The Budweiser Wassssssup one was awesome, along with those I Am Canadian by Molson were also good. Wendy’s Where’s the Beef is another iconic, good one. I’m showing my age here though lol.

More than 50 years later and I can still watch Coca-Cola “Hilltop” and sing along. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VM2eLhvsSM
Also in the soda genre, the "I'm a Pepper, You're a Pepper" Dr. Pepper song and the "I wanna Pop (pop-pop-pop-pop), I wanna Shasta!".
I miss seeing movie trailers. Looking back over the last decade it’s weird how many movies I’ve missed because I just stream most things and if you don’t catch it in the news/entertainment section you’ll never know.
Any movie trailer voiced by Don LaFontaine (RIP) was a must-watch!
the NBA playoffs commercials in the early 2010s. where it’d be a black and white video of some great NBA moment
[Extra Gum Commercial - Sara & Juan](https://youtu.be/NemtQx0m0Ss?si=2KKOkn4YgXkN7jdA) This is my favorite commercial ever and it still makes me cry.
I knew which one you meant and had to decide if I felt like crying before I clicked. Has me in a frightful mess every time.
Sometimes, if l feel like l need a good cry, l will watch it. I have never not cried.
Most 90's kids commercials. Moon Shoes, Crossfire, anything that used cringey rap, etc. The Doublemint Twins Doublemint Gum commercials for what should be fairly obvious reasons. Also, that one Battletanx commercial where a group of tanks hunted down and blew up the Snuggle Bear.
Came here for Crossfire (Crossfiiiiiiiyaaa!)

This is local to the Detroit area, but the "You've Gotta Have Art" commercial for the Detroit Institute of Arts is a classic.
Candy and cereal commercials!

Carousel Film commercial [https://youtu.be/C5yhxqkJiAQ](https://youtu.be/C5yhxqkJiAQ)

Quizno's singing rat commercials. Totally weird - and totally unforgettable. https://youtu.be/aZrks-BPeLQ?si=ptOjRrvDN_wcs-mS
Quizno's were such great subs and they totally killed themselves with their weird ads.
McDonald’s had some good ones back in the day, here’s Bird vs. Jordan. https://youtu.be/1shK-j_u6LI?feature=shared

Blockbuster Video 1998 when Titanic (1997) would become available on VHS: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B2bVm5eW2Y&ab\_channel=Movie%26VideoGameTVSpots](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B2bVm5eW2Y&ab_channel=Movie%26VideoGameTVSpots)

None. None commercials.
NONE
