Every so often someone comes up with a commercial that really cracks you up... What's yours?
My favorite right now is one for USA's Dead Zone. The lead charachter sometimes sees visions of tragic things that will happen in some's life when he touches them or something related to them. In the commercial he is sitting at the table reading a paper when his cat jumps up on the table. He pets the cat and launched into a vision of how the cat loses all 9 of his lives (three or four of times it's by chewing on the same lamp cord). When the vision ends he says "I'm getting a dog". I don't know what it is about that one, but it just cracks me up.

I've seen the one you're referring to fenix. Matter of fact, I tried to catch it a couple more times only because I was trying to figure out what in the heck the point was. That poor cat kept chewing on the electrical wire.
Now that you've explained it's about the Dead Zone TV show, a show I've never watched....it certainly makes more sense. LOL

He does all of them Mags - I see him all the times 6 Flags in California and last time I was in Colorado saw a commercial for the Denver 6 Flags with him too. I get a kick out him myself.
Linda - I can understand not watching the Dead Zone - I didn't really get into in until the past few months. Ever watch The 4400? That one is interesting - unique concept - can't wait to see how it all plays out.

I dont know if they run this out on the WC, but the one I like is for the Capital One card with David Spade and this chubby doofy guy Spade keeps setting up. He is really funny, the fat guy. That commercial makes me laugh!

I get the biggest kick out of the David Spade commercials for Capital 1 also. Especially the latest one where the big guy walks in the room and says you - in the yellow shirt - you're going down! I love David Spade - if you haven't seen his last movie - Dickie Roberts - it's a scream.

Oh..I like that one too.. David Spade gets on my nerves but the fat guy in the yellow shirt makes up for it with that pitiful scream...Ha Ha
I didn't think about it, Fenix...lol.. it stands to reason that the same commercial for six flags would run in different places..Duh on me..! Actually it must be a kid made up to look old, don't you think?
Da Da Da Da Da Do Da Da.....

Definitely a younger guy in that get-up. Does the New Orleans Six Flags close for the season? If not you missed a great that they showed in Colorado when they were about to reopen for summer. Showed the old guy toddling thru the nursing home slow and not so steady and then came the day to start working the park and he was up and dancing as usual. Very cute.

I like the capital one commercials too. Haven't seen (or don't remember) the others mentioned. But the one that always makes me giggle is that guy talking about his 4 bedroom home and country club membership - etc. and then says he's in debt up to his eyeballs.

I also like the Capitol One commercials with the Piligers. Every time I see the new ones where they have had to find new jobs I can "hear" some of the posters here b*tching that they are immigrants and they are taking jobs from good americans.

fenix - Yes, I've watched 4400 a few times....kind of on a hit and miss basis though.
But on the Dead Zone....I'm saying is try to imagine that you've never heard of nor seen the program....and are watching the commerical without the awareness of what it's about for the first time. 
---------------------
I like the 'in debt up to my eyeballs' one too.

Alot of the USA "Charachters Wanted" ads are probably a little confusing if you don't know their shows. Another good one is with Mia from The 4400. You see her on her bike waiting for a friend to join her outside, as they ride thru town she tells him to follow her. Finally they end up outside the local baseball stadium, get off their bikes and she holds his baseball ball glove wearing hand up just as a home run ball goes out of the park and lands right in his glove. It's confusing if you have not seen the show but really cute if you have and know that Mia sees into the future.

My favorite commericial of all time has to be the VW commerical with the kids driving in the convertible cabriolet to a party at night. They were listening to "Pink Moon" by Nick Drake while driving through the country in the dark, top down, stars in the sky. When they get to the party and realize the mood would change, they just kept on driving.
The Burger King commericals with that strange King, really creep me out. I like the new one from BK with that wierd band in costumes on stage (I think BK is sponsoring the band's tour), everyone partying and having a good time. I saw the long version the other night and it had to be about 2 minutes long.

There's a Pepsi commercial with two roasted chickens sumo wrestling. (Yeah, I'd pick the one not on the floor, too.)
I still like the "Smilin' Bob" commercials. They are so stupid, they crack me up.

I hate those "smiling bob" commericals.
I dont remember the name of the product,but it begins with an E and its for erection dysfunction.The guy is such a dork,and the ugly b*tch he has to come home to...ewwww she looked like she fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.Id have to swallow a whole bottle of that stuff to get it up for her.What really kills me is he is playing golf and sinks every shot-how the hell is walking around a golf course for 18 holes with a hard-on going to help my golf game???

Rusty - if you want a good giggle - check out the website for the band.
http://www.coqroq.com
Apparently there was a little uproar when they launched some "fan pics" with the captions... the groupies love the Coq.
Anyone remember this one? http://www.subservientchicken.com

Classic, not that it matters much but i don't think those are hard-on pills. I think they are penis enlargement pills. I guess that sending billions of spam emails didn't work for them so they had to go and make a stupid commercial.
---------------------------------------------
The ones that crack me up are the Geico Cavemen commercials. Their feelings really get hurt when in the commercial the guy says that it's so easy that a caveman can do it. Then over dinner the guy appologizes to 2 of them, saying that he didn't realise that they, the cavemen, were still around. One caveman orders the roast duck with mango salsa and the other is just so upset that he tells the waiter that he doesn't have much of an apetite.
