 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.

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.

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.

I love corporate brainwashing.

It's not brainwashing if you're smart about what you're  watching...
