Let's face it- you can't really watch TV without commercials. However annoying they may be.

The ones in the poll are just my favorites...and i understand probably none of them air in places other than the US but oh well...:D I love the geico ones!

The Geico ones are really good; especially the "Tiny House" one.

Hahah, my mom thought that the Tiny House one was a preview for a real reality show! Before it reached the "wont save insurance" part, she was going "No way!" and was getting disgusted. Then she realized it was fake. :twisted: :lol: :roll: Funny. Yes, I also love the Geico commercials! I enjoy the Gecco.:mrgreen:

Tiny House was the one where it was a mock-ad for a reality show where a newly wed couple have to live in a house that was built too small for them. :twisted: :wink:

'what are pop tarts?'

Pop Tarts are [american ha ha] cold, artery-clogging, fattening 'pastries' made with no natural ingredients. Although they taste like cherry.

You make Pop Tarts sound disgusting, Sam! They're actually quite good, no matter how bad they are for you (which is probably just average for what we eat these days). And that's what I thought Tiny House was, I just wasn't sure. That's probably my favorite; it's either that or the hair loss one.

I used to watch so many commercials, I noticed that the Verizon guy has gained weight since those commercials started. Isn't that sad? (for me I mean) You'd think with all that walking around the country...

I also love the Geico ones, especially the one where the gecko does the robot.

I used to like the "Dude, you're getting a Dell" commercials. Wow those seem ancient now.

My favorite commericials of all time are probably the California Raisins ones from the 1980's. Makes me feel old saying that... :(
