ILove the Hudson River Dance Commercial. Reminds me of the Full Monty which I thought was a funny movie.

You guys don't get our commercials...

But the cat herding one from last year's SuperBowl cracks me up every time I download it.

Oh, I love the cat commercial, I have it on the computer. Have you seen the one where they build the airplane in the air?

Their new commercial for the superbowl is called "Running with Squirrels" I can't wait to see it.

Casting another vote for the cat herding commercial. Hilarious!

I love the brownie-eating ants trying to get the milk to drip off the picnic table. "Go Ben, Go!"

I like the Yellow Pages commercials. My favorite is the one with the rude kid playing on his computer. No matter what his dad says or asks, he has a rude or snide answer blowing him off. Finally when he hold out his hand & says "talk to the hand cuz Jimmy ain't answering", three huge yellow pages come catapulting through the air and knock the kid out. The dad looks down & smiles happily--all the directories have fallen open to "Military Schools"

Lost it, broke it, need it CHEAP, can't find it anywhere else?......NOT!

Seriously, I love the Discover financial planning commercials: the rock band who spent all their earnings and was last seen "appearing" at the Cohen Bat Mitzvoh...or the "Pocketbook Boot", a device similar to the "boot" put on a car wheel to immobilize it, typically due to overdue tickets, the "pocketbook boot" is clamped onto a woman's purse to curb spending....Also available for men in the "wallet boot"!...LOL!

The cat herding was great!...Too bad we didn't see much of it after last year's super bowl....

My all time favorite was the French's mustard commercial, back in the 80's. The one with olive eyes following the knife, and the crossant curling up after saying "TTTTHATS not French's". I would love to see that one again.



In the begining, God created the heavens and the earth.

I downloaded the cat commercial from eds.com. My grandkids love it. I'm not sure it's still there, but you could go look.

Hi all! Does anyone remember the chicken nugget commerical....pieces parts? A man comes into a fast food restaurant and asks what the nuggets are made of and the clerk says pieces parts. It was back in the 80's..wish I could remember the name of the fast food place. It was around the same time as the "Where's the beef?" commercials. I love those two oldies! There's one out now for kitty litter...the cat is pulling toliet paper all thru the house and he looks at the camera and blows a rasberry! My daughter almost wet herself she laughed so hard!

I like the one set in a veternarian's waiting room. A woman's cat jumps off the bench and walks down the hall to the restroom. We see the cat going into the restroom. We hear a toilet flush. Last scene: cat walking back to owner, trailing a piece of toilet paper which is stuck to a rear paw

Not because it's "cute", but the one for a car commercial (HELP! I can't remember which car!!!) where the windshield wipers keep time with the music and what's happening on the street as they drive. Everytime that would come on, every one would have to be quiet so I could watch it.

roxw: that was for volkswagen...great commercial!

I also love the one they are showing now for the cold medicine with the guy who looks at the bathroom from his office chair at work, then proceeds to the bathroom laying back in his chair, it's hysterical...has anyone else seen this one? Then when he's coming back from the bathroom, there's toilet paper stuck to the wheel of his chair...way too funny!

I like the one with Sun Fizz from a few years ago, where the cute little sun emblem jumps off the drink bottle and starts talking to the family, who runs away terrified and screaming... even the dog.

There's one which has been running recently which features a couple of guys on a golf course talking about "male itch." The whole thing is a spoof and cracks me up every time.

The one I laugh at no matter how many times I see it is the FedEx commercial with Steve Erwin. You know, the one where the deadly snake bites him & he says "not to worry"--they use FedEx to make sure antivenom is on hand. Someone whispers something to him..."it appears that this time we didn't use FedEx, but don't worry--" and then he falls over

I don't know if this is a USA or a Canadian commercial---but it starts with a scene on a beautiful beach and you see a middle aged man working on a gorgeous wooden boat when he suddenly hammers his finger. He spins around facing the camera and starts howling and growling and turns into "THE INCREDIBLE HULK"--clothes shred and he breaks the boat into a million pieces--and when he's done he gets a very very sad look on his face and tilts his head and say "awwwwwww"

You next see him sitting in a chair infront of the pile of sticks that was once his boat reading "ANGER MANAGEMENT" and a narrator's voice comes on and say "Everyone has to retire sometime"

I don't know which car is advertised, but a man, a women, and a dog get out of the car. The car starts shaking like a dog to get the mud off of it. The mud goes flying onto everything including the dog, but the car is clean at the end of the commercial.

You may have to be a dog owner to appreciate this commercial!
