Default Best Commericals on TV - RIGHT NOW

just wondering what people's favourite commericals are currently.

I had to admit, even without bias, the TransUnion commericals crack me up every time. Especially the Chuck Storm one.

Seems like every other commerical lately is on saving local tv. Thoughts on the best ones currently?

I love those new Boston Pizza commercials, they are super awesome. So good in fact that they should play 2 back to back all the time.

The Wiserhood commercial with Gerry Dee cracks me up for some reason.

I hate the Dairy Milk commercial with the freaky looking kids, but it gets my attention everytime it is on

I'm not sure how often you guys see these in Canada, but the E*TRADE babies still get to me. Hilarious stuff.


(this one isn't being shown any more. it wasn't on for long, but is an example that some people haven't seen yet)

I like the Bud Light commercial where he's beating up the octopus. I find that funny all the time.

The Stride commercial where that guy got owned by a goat was hilarious the first time I watched it.

Not that I like the particular commercial itself, but every time I see that Axe commercial (with the creepy chocolate guy) I always wish I lived in that world, where every chick is a hot chick.

I miss the Dairy Queen commercial where the dog mooches a chicken finger, then wants some bbq sauce.

Agree about the wiserhood commercials. They're pretty good.

I like this one too, but not necesarrily for the guys sitting around, including the bank teller from the BOM + 2 old guy commercials, drinking whiskey. I'm not sure why I like it.
I also like the Tims commercial, with the guys ditzy wife dressing up as a donut, yeaaaa, his idea. great.
maybe there's a connection between donuts and whiskey.

Video quality is terrible, but for some reason I laugh at this commercial every time.



There's even a new one with Jarome and these two.

Any of the Coors Light commercials about their getaways and scantily clad women.

I know it's not a new commercial, but the "Canadian Car Chase" still gives me the chuckles every time I see it. Funny thing is, I have no idea whose commercial it is. Probably tires. Almost sure of it.

I know it's not exactly new, but the Pepsi Max "I'm good" commercial was played a lot during the Grey Cup and I was reminded of how funny it is.

I really like the one, I think it's for BMO, where the guy and his wife are in the bank office and the wife starts going on about "My husband thinks it's a good time to invest........." and the lady says: "Actually he's right" and he stands up and rips off his dress shirt revealing the "I'm Right" t-shirt. Awesome. It might of been lost on too many people but the only way to make that commercial better would be the t-shirt all dirty, worn and torn like the guy has been wearing it for years just waiting to pull it out!
