favorite commercial
 
I was watching tv the other day and this commercial for an insurance company came on and it was this guy, I cant place him, maybe James Brolin, walks behind the bellhop into the room and announces "When you're a star like me, you just get treated differently." The whole commercial was so over the top funny to me. Has anyone alse seen it, and does anyone have a favorite? I dont usually pay attention to commercials, but this one really made me laugh :laugh:

Isn't that "J. Peterman"? John O'Hurley from Seinfeld and Dancing with the Stars. I think that's who you mean.

Anywho, my fave commercial, well, one of them, is the Aiwa commercial from a few years ago where the guy is driving a limo and playing "Another One Bites the Dust" super loud, then, you see people looking over at him going "WTH?" and the guy in the backseat giving him a strange look....camera pans out and you see it's a funeral procession.

Cracks me up every time I see or think about it. :laugh:

John O'Hurley..."They treat me like The Sultan of Umbwahbwah". :lol: He played Mr. Peterman" on Seinfeld. He was also the runner-up (and who actually should've WON) on Dancing With The Stars. He also is the announcer for the "National Dog Show" on NBC on Thanksgiving Day.

EDIT: Ok, so it took me awhile to get around to hitting "submit"...Christy beat me to the punch


One of my favorite commercials is one from many moons ago...the Alka-Seltzer commercial---"I can't believe I ate the WHOLE thing!"

Others are the series of VW commercials from the '60's...the animated "Meet Harry The Swinger"
([i]"Meet Harry the Swinger {Harry's driving a Karmann Ghia}...then Harry got married {Harry & wife are driving in bug}; one day the stork arrived {Harry, wife & child in VW squareback]...then one day his mother-in-law came to visit; she never left {everybody in VW Bus}...Harry went to the store for milk; he never returned---{long pause}---meet Harry the Swinger" {Harry's driving solo in a Karmann Ghia again}

and

"Max's Will"

("...to my brother whose only motto was "spend, spend, spend", I leave "nothing, nothing, nothing! And, to my nephew Harold who oft times said "A penny saved is a penny earned" and who also oft times said "Gee, Uncle Max it sure pays to own a Volkswagen"...I leave my entire estate of one hundred million dollars)

Exactly! I hear that soap fans are brutal and probably voted for her until their fingers were numb. Bleh.

Even Evander Holyfield was more graceful than Kelly ("the tank") Monaco and he was the first one voted off.

Remember when she got fired from Wendy's for doing a Prego sauce commercial and saying "I found it!" When they announced her firing, they said something along the lines of "She can find the beef only in one place, and that is Wendy's."

:laugh:

Hello, mother
Hello, father
Fleas, ticks, mosquitos
Really bother
Thanks for the package
That's why I'm writing
K-9 Advantix quickly stopped all the biting

Swimming, hiking
And tent pitching
They're not biting, I'm not itching
Can't wait to show you
All my new tricks
Thanks again for sending me K-9 Advantix


I love it, too. :laugh:

wondergirl9847 09-09-2005 01:42 PM
