Favorite recent TV ad?

[Graybeard]

Mine is 'The Littlest Pirate".A boy about 5 yrs old is playing pirate in pirate clothes and with a pirate sword. Doing pirate stuff.

Mom brings him to the supermarket where he sees at the other end of the aisle an elderly gentleman with a black eye-patch. A black eye-patch!!! The boy stares at the old man. The old man stares at the boy dressed like a pirate. The boy reaches out for his Mom and reassured that she is there starts to pull out his sword.

Mom quickly pays with her credit card and pulls little pirate out of harm's way avoiding any swashbuckling. Just a lovely little vignette.

7. OMG

I LOVE him!

One of my favorites is where he's got a pet cougar that jumps up on the counter while he's cooking and he shoos it off like it's a 7 lb. tabby...

8. VW's "Take on Meeeeeeeeeeeee"

I like commercials... and CLIO awards!

[frogmarch]

9. That's my favorite too!

No matter how many times I watch it, I still laugh at his "Taaaaake...."

[WorseBeforeBetter]

10. Me too...

"Was that me? Was I singing?" LOL

[AngryOldDem]

17. Very clever...

It's more of a tribute to the video than a parody, which I like.

The video was pretty groundbreaking, for that time anyway...song is also an earworm, but that's beside the point.

[GoCubsGo]

18. I really like that one, too.

Probably because I always kinda like the "Aha!" video that this commercial spoofs.

[pipi_k]

19. Yah...

another good one!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

20. That's mine, too. VW ads were all so annoying a couple years ago. They must have changed agencies.

13. The Everest Guy,

just because this commercial makes me thankful that I don't have to go to such a bad school.

Also the parody:

14. I like that Toaster Strudel ad:

[AngryOldDem]

16. Saw that last night! Precious.

Right now I also like the car insurance one that has a guy taking care of a big baby. Funny commentary on how some people see their cars.
