    My Favorite TV Ads

    I'll start off the discussion with the "Got Milk" ad where the guy tries to say Aaron Burr, but can't because he has a mouthful of peanut butter and sadly has no milk .....

    I think the Mayhem commercials are the absolute best.

    Two adds come to mind, the VW Darth Vader with the small kid and the Force and the second was the pets in a pet store for the Budweiser Whaz Up.

    Yup. Love the Mayhem commercials. The one with Larry Bird is pretty funny too:

    But my all-time favorite is the ETrade "Money out the Wazoo" Commercial from the Super Bowl:

    - After I ask a stranger if I can pet their dog and they say yes, I like to respond, "I'll keep that in mind" and walk off
    - It's above my pay grade. Mongo only pawn in game of life.

    My parents did not believe in TV for us kids, so there are huge blindspots in my cultural knowledge.
    Continued the habit as an adult - have never owned a TV.
    Wife/son got a big screen so we could watch netflix when they used to mail them.
    Where we live there was no TV reception or cable in those days anyway.
    Now she streams stuff.
    The only TV ads i see are in waiting rooms or sometimes out/eating places.
    I do, now, probably spend too much time on the 'net, though.

    I'm a fan of the "Dr Rick" insurance commercials. Where he is a therapist trying to teach adults to not become like their parents. So entertaining that I dont even know which company it is. And of course, anything with Jennifer Garner.

    It's crazy that we can remember and recite a lot of the beer and cigarette commercials from back in the day. And the classics, Like "I cant believe I ate the whole thing" and "that's-a spicy meatball-a".

    Ok, call me sentimental, but this one from Budweiser is my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3ICjgl9VG4

    Followed by this one from Audi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfMt2jtbW3Q
