The 12 Kinds of Ads

2007-07-30

We love watching the commercials on TV.  Some make us laugh and others are very boring.

My daughter loves the Cingular ones with the chat speak daughter and the Mom and daughter that sounds like they are arguing but are really having a postive conversation. I have to agree with her choices. The other Cingular one I like is when the Mom finds the minutes tossed in the trash.

The Geico Commercials with the Cavemen are funny.  More on them in another post of mine.

I also like Geico The Tiny House parody of reality shows.

My children think the Head On commercials are funny but obnoxious.

One I saw the other day was for Fabreeze when the lady finds the winter head mask, she sniffs it, sprays it with Fabreeze, and then wears it around the house cause it smells so good, well her neighbor sees what she thinks is a burglar in the front window as she walks by.

Four Eyes -- the guy with the laser vision when he puts on the glasses.  The guy who sees everyone in their underwear, and the old lady who sees the hunky guy instead of her senior aged husband.

The Centrum rainbow vitamins are cute as well as the running Elusive Z's which fascinated my son when he was 3 or 4 years old.

We also really liked this Jumbonz dog treat commercial a few years back.

So today I found this article about The 12 Kinds of Ads and though you might like to take a peek.  There is a brief description of the pitch and then a sample ad to watch if you wish.

Do you have any favorites?

Enjoy.

Like the cavemen. The Head On ones have totally convinced me to NEVER buy the stuff b/c they are SOOOO annoying imo.

My all time fave are the Cadburry Bunny comercials with the Bunny who clucks like a chicken - and the Cadbury commericial where they have tryouts to be the Cadbury Bunny, with all types of different animals. ROFLOL! Love those!

I used to collect funny commercials, also those with a great song, or scenery! I have about 70 hours worth on VHS! Remember the Smuckers old Commercials? and Hallmark? lotsa good stuff!!
