For some reason, several people have directed me to this GEICO commercial (don't worry--it's short):
I don't tend to be overly fond of commercials, but I have to admit I kind of love this one.
Oddly enough, we do insure our cars through GEICO.
(Hmm. Maybe they got the camel idea from me.)
What are your favorite commercials? The funny ones? The sweet ones? The ones that appeal to your senses? The ones that use songs from your youth, hoping nostalgia will trigger the urge to buy something?
Or do you hate them all, and just channel surf whenever one comes on? (A tactic I've tried, though it seems to me the channels are in collusion--they all seem to show commercials at the same time.)
Happy Hump Day! Hope the camel above gave you a smile. :)

LOL is more than a smile. I have GEICO also. As far as commercials go, I like funny ones that tend to give me a chuckle but only if I've seen it about three times...after that it's channel surfing.
I saw that camel commercial last night! And I immediately thought of you. I prefer funny commercials!
I usually mute the commercials but that one was cute.
I never saw this commercial before, but I LOVE it. Overall, I'm not a fan of most commercials and tend to zone out when they come on, but I do like funny ones. (Have you seen any of the programs showing the best commercials from around the world? I know, that sounds like an oxymoron, but some of the Japanese commercials are hysterical.) I like commercials that tug at my heartstrings, too. But ANY commercial that is done over and over and over and over again, until I want to blow up the TV, are not high on my good list. (Have you noticed the ads that repeat continually are usually ones you don't LIKE in the first place?)
Oh, that's hilarious! I almost never watch TV so I'm not up on commercials, but I'm a Trekkie. I loved the Spock vs. Spock one that was circulating the internet a while ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPkByAkAdZs
i thought i was the last person in the whole who watched commercials solely because i'm the last person in the (first) world without a DVR. i like the funny commercials the best...this one remains a favorite:

Of course, I'm a fan of the funny ones, but that stupid baby Clydesdale and the farmer one made me cry.
I often enjoy the commercials, and I get irritated with my family because they tend to record all our shows and then zip through the commercials.
Me hollering, "Hey! I might've wanted to see that!" just gets me stares of disbelief from the husband and kids.
But they are the reason I never know about new movies and television shows coming out ...
I hate, hate , hate ads!
As a result I mostly watch the ABC (that would be the Australian Broadcasting Corporation) which is ad free ;-)
Haha, that is funny! And you know, I had never heard of hump day before I started following your blog. So yes, I think they got it from you.
It's like they made it for you!!!! ROTFL!
Ha! I haven't seen that one!
I love the funny ones.
My fav right now is this one:

Thanks for stopping by, everyone! :)
Dianne -- I feel your pain. Sometimes the commercials are the best thing on. ;)
Diane -- The Spock vs. Spock commercial appeals to my inner nerd.
Abby -- I love mini-Vader. Too funny!
Jennifer -- Ha! I hadn't seen that Frankenstein one before. Funny!
