Default Commericals you think are good

...Explain why.

In the spirit of the "Commericals you can't stand thread" which is an awesome thread, by the way... here's a thread for commericals you CAN stand, or just ones that you think are great in general. Reasoning behind your choices are better, too.

One of the ones I like is the Discovery Channel commerical with all of the hosts from their different shows singing that 'Boom-de-yada' song. Intelligent, catchy, and a positive change of pace for once; not all environmental doom and gloom, but what actually makes this Earth cool.

List away!

The sumo wrestlers washing the car! I laugh like a hyena at that commercial.

The ikea commercial where you feel bad for the lamp.

The sears commercials on the radio with the guy that talks so seriously.

I'm not even a huge Peyton Manning fan but I love the mastercard? commercial where he travels around to all the hotels in rival cities and turns their negative comments around. I have seen the commercial 100 times but whenever he says "Ya know I'm going to do that" when she tells him to take a hike, and he stretches and points at the hills is great. Just a funny commercial.

Totally agreed. Any commercial with Peyton Manning is gold.

It's so funny, I sometimes jump back 30 seconds with the PVR just to watch it again.

Those Mac vs PC Rudolf style ones. I seen two last night and I cracked up. Mostly because of the Rudolf spoof, and John Hodgmen (PC) is hilarious.

Speaking of Peyton Manning, the commercial where he's on a panel telling a guy why he should buy a Sony TV is great. The guy nods, but then says, "I don't like sports", and then the San Diego Chicken has to be restrained from attacking him. Hilarious.

I don't know why, but I seem to really want to go to a Hitmen game.

it's just funny as hell. There was another one, I think for Volkswagen, where the grim reaper was sunbathing, running through a field. the song playing in the background is "What a Day For a Daydream".

Love that old Sport Check add with the guy playing hockey and seeing his buddy breaking down the wing and he says to himself "..there's Jonesy. He helped me move that sofa. He was there when my son was born.." Cut back to hockey and Jonesy looks up with that stupid smile and the guy WRECKS HIM WITH A HIP-CHECK!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAA!!!

I'm laughing now.

Brilliant commercial.

I also like their "Start the car!!" commercial.

I can't remember who's commercial it was, but the one where the guy steps off the ice and his wife is there, and he goes into sports cliches during an interview mode. I loved that commercial

Some great commercials listed. Here's one that I think is a great commercial just because of the amazing music that was apparently composed specifically for this commercial. I really wish there was a longer version.
