Ok, has anyone seen the new retro style nike commercial, you know with the song "Keep that funk alive" playing throughout it, and with all these basket-ball players playing like Dr. J from the 70's and stuff... I love it, it's great... :)

I haven't seen that one. I can't think of any memorable commercials I've seen recently.
My favorite commercial ever is the one announcing the Apple Mac. I guess I'm an old fart.

is that the old one that was only shown once or something? Like a big factory with a big television screen and all that? If so, then that commercial is considered the best ever...

Yes, I saw it during the 1984 superbowl. The theme is based on George Orwell's "1984" novel - appropriately enough.

yeah, that's the one... I watched a little video in a marketing class this past year about the best commercials and stuff, and that one is apparently considered the best...

I'm not surprised it's well regarded. It doesn't pack the same punch today, but it was pretty cool to see it back then.

yup, it is still pretty cool... it's cool that it was only shown once too, and is still considered the best...

dude.. favourite commercials?
heard that when superbowl is airing, more people are watching for the commercials sake than for the game.
that's just plain wrong.

Does anyone remember the ad where the old man is hanging out with a bunch of young hooligans and egging cars, and when a driver gets out and chases them, the old man jumps a fence?? It was hilarious and I only saw it once...
A good one is the fish commercial where the guy fights the bear at the river mouth..

i can't stand commercials.
especially around the olympics. almost everyone seems to have some olympic related commercial for their product that doesn't relate to the olympics at all. how many 'official _____ product of the olympics' are there?
advertisement companies must think we are goblins.

It's a channel-five english thing only i believe, but the adverts for "PI helpline" insurance are fucking hilarious. You can tell they've been made on a budget of around five pence and a small bag of crack.

Hehe yeah and the phone and stuff. He looks so intense, he clearly feels passionately about PI insurance.
I like the new Cadbury Dairy Milk advert for its sheer randomness. The one with the sheep and the bloke at the office.

You know that one where there's this kid and his dad and they're eating cereal and being skeptical about its nutritional value or some shit. And the dad is all "hello I'm skeptical about this" and the kid is all "yeah we're so skepical" or some shit and the dad pats his kid on the head admiring his cuteness for mispronouncing skeptical, and the mom is like admiring them and they're all happy together and shit. That one is my favorite. I feel it has a high moral value and I learned a lot from it and it was so cute when the kid mispronounced skeptical. I buy that particular brand of cereal to this day which I'm prety sure is called fag cereal.
I can only imagine a society of elephants with evolved human intellect making such a commercial and grunting their nasally trunk bellows of how they're skeptical about it and then the kid elephant mispronounces skeptical in elephant talk which is 'pbreeee-e-e-e-eeeeaaeaeh'; that's basically how alien I see humans anyway. The future is elephants though.

The Nike ad with Johny Cash covering 'hurt' by Reznor in which they show all the sporting disasters and the one guy is running and all of a sudden he pukes. That made me laugh. I watch very little tv so luckily I'm not exposed to all that shit.

I'm being a bit biased here, but the current Specsavers advert on U.K. TV is my favourite.

A friend of mine did the music for the advert under a pseudonym.
