Good TV commercials thread.

We seem to bash the bad ones a lot here, and deservedly so. What commercials do you like? I'll give you two I like now.
The Hoopers, where D'Andre Jordan exclaims his rings have been stolen.
The Settlers, where Pa has his foot stomping and the boy has his hoop to play with.

Smokin' hot women, little clothing, rinse and repeat.

My all-time favorite commercial is one that I saw one time during the 1996 Iowa/Arizona football game. I haven't seen it since and can't seem to find it anywhere online.

It was part of the "NFL Family" series of ads promoting NFL Countdown. It starred Chris Mortensen, Joe Theismann, Chris Berman, Tom Jackson, and Sterling Sharpe as the McGinty brothers and featured children playing them in home movie flashbacks. Harry Dean Stanton was their father, Joe McGinty, who was obsessed with football and tried to instill that obsession in his sons.

Here's the only one of the series that I can find:



The best one featured a voice-over saying "Every year the McGintys went trick-or-treating as Coach Paul Brown" as home movie footage showed the five young brothers dressed in fedoras and trench coats.

"In 1969, Chris wants to go as a pirate. Dad says okay....but it has to be a Paul Brown pirate".

The commercial ends with footage of young Chris Berman wearing a fedora, a trench coat, and an eye patch.

Clearly, puppy monkey baby is not only the best commercial gracing the airwaves right now but the best all-time.

Do they actually have a TV ad? Their Facebook ad is freaking hilarious.

A good thread for snarky superiority, too.

Touchy, feely - State Farm Never commercial -

Flo commenting on her workmates being on TV all the time and getting a strange look from her dog is pretty good.

Commercials?? I haven't watched those for prob close to 10 years. Ain't nobody got time for that!

What a waste of time. An hour show is only 40 minutes long.

Not sure how you people can watch commercials with a smile on your face hoping "this one will be good!"
Never trust a commercial watcher, those are people who let the remote collect dust.

Or don't know how to use a DVR.
