What are your favorite commercials that are presently running, either on TV or radio?
Mine is a TV ad for SBC Yahoo! DSL. A guy & his wife are going out for the evening, and she's having a hard time choosing from her wardrobe. He's on his laptop, watching an Eric Clapton video, and he has a verse from "You Look Wonderful Tonight" playing on a loop. The verse is "don't know what clothes to wear". Finally, she tells him to knock it off.
My mom and I love that commercial, but my dad doesn't think it's funny.

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
That's a great one! I also love the ones like "Mama's Boy" where the man and his mom are in the grocery store and he is in the cart! That one is hilarious. There are also some others of that ilk that I think are great, but can't remember the name of them, or what they are actually for. And the Geico spoofs are great - especially the Old Navy one. But my all-time favorite was a Bud Light commercial that played during the Super Bowl years ago. It was a dog show competition, and they had gotten to the final 6 or 7 dogs. They pan the screen across them all, and then get to this hideously ugly dog named Larry or something. Anyway, all the other dogs are a sure win, but Larry gets the 1st prize. Why? Because next to his doghouse he has a six-pack of Bud Light. The commercial wasn't all that funny by itself, but he had this expression on his face that I will never forget. I still get hysterical over that one.

I love the new Brawny commercial with that guy making a cake for his wife and he got her a puppy as well. It's so cheesy and stupid I can't help but love it!
I don't even know what the commercial is selling or anything else about it for that matter but I thought it was sooo funny. A man is trying to get his young son, who is suppose to look a little geeky, to throw the basketball into the hoop. After many disappointing tries he keeps moving the hoop closer to the boy until finally he's right in front of him with the hoop in his hands. The kid misses the hoop and throws the basketball into the father's face. My friend and I were cracking up.

My current favorite is the Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper where the couple is in the restaurant and she gets a class of the soda and hes talking about his life and suddenly his words turn into Manamana and everyone in the restaurant starts whistling. I don't describe it correctly but its hilarious!
