The Commercial Thread

[Lisa]

Hope it's okay for me to start this - I searched and didn't see a commercial thread anywhere in here.

So I spent today cleaning my apartment top to bottom, and I always like having the TV on as background noise when I clean. And the new Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Cake commercial was on constantly. So now I'm hooked - I've been dancing around while cleaning, going "Ice cream and cake, do the ice cream and cake! Ice cream and cake, do the ice cream and cake! Now slip slip slip and slide!"

[Howard]

Damn you.

To erase that from my head, I present this commercial.

Hey! The fake-babies in that second one are doing their swim number to one of my favorite songs from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes!

This is one of the most disturbingly funny commercials I've seen in ages:

My kids and I LOVE the baskin & robbins ICE CREAM & CAKE. Always starts a dance fest at our house.

[Lisa]

I mean, no lie, they must have run that about 20 times today. I was in the middle of scrubbing the bathroom sink, and all of a sudden from the living room, I'd hear "Iiiice cream and cake!" And I'm ashamed to admit I'd come running so I wouldn't miss the dinosaur with the valentine's bouquet.

[B_Metal]

Lulz. You should see three people all running so they don't miss that same scene. Benny Hill music should play as we scramble to the living room.

I liked the Coke commercial that The Simpsons people did.

[Ari]

I liked the Leno/Letterman one. Pretty shocked to even see that one happen, especially since it was to promote Letterman.

[Nathan]

I didn't even see that. Damn.

This is a fantastic PSA

[Lisa]

Fun! Our computers suck at work, but I'll check them out when I get home!

[Ari]

Shit, that PSA almost made me start tearing up.
