Here's the trunk monkeys for those of you that haven't seen them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8oPVVGYQ40
speaking of beer commercials, I can't remember which one it was, but the jist of it was the guy and girl talked eachother into skinny dipping into this pool, nobody was around. Then after they got in it panned a bit, and the pool had huge underwater windows to the room the party was in and everyone was taking pics. The way I say it doesn't make it sound funny, but watching the commercial it's hilarious!

um...any BudLight commercial that runs during Superbowl is BOUND to be halarious whether you're a guy or girl. And of course any commercial that makes fun of men is usually good too.
The commercial that drives me nuts is that Rice Krispies commercial with the kids breathing all huffy too though! Get that kid checked out or something!

I disagree, each time i see one I swap the roles and imagine the outrage that would happen if it were a woman being made fun of in such a way.

Not that outraged jd, you must remember the beer ads that depict the well endowed scantily clad young women. You can fill in here what she is doing to the happy male in the ad. Usually cuddling up close and personal to some wide mouth guy. Or worse those AXE ads where the guy applies axe and a hundred young pretty girls chase him. Oh please, if that doesn't make females look totally stupid, I don't know what does. It's like if male wears, drinks or eats a certain item then he is entitled to have very pretty girls as a prize for his choice. Yucch, gag me with a spoon.

Ok, if I didn't hate Quiznos before, that new commercial has a line that says "yes, scott, put it in me." In essence, soft porn for food. Whatever.

There is a commercial I just saw for glasses, the old lady puts on her glasses and her elderly husband turns into a young hottie asking her if they can go home now. The tagline is "unless your glasses can work miracles, don't pay more than you have to."

I absolutely love the one of the puppy having a spa day, nails cut, massage, hair cut, tub soak with rose petals and then lounging like a king on a chaise lounge. You have got to watch this one.............

Hate to put a downer on this thread but I hate to see monkeys and chimps used in commercials. I watched a documentary on the lives of monkeys and chimps once they become too old and hard to handle. Usually at the age of 10 or so. Then they are sent off to zoos or whatever for the rest of their lives. They live to be 50 or 60 years old. Wayyy too sad. The animals you see on those ads are just babies and there is something just wrong about their use. Knowing this, I certainly find nothing funny in ads featuring apes or monkeys. It makes me so mad.

That is the one that drives me crazier than all of the others. She sounds like she is full of mucus or something.

We do the same to people. Replace zoo with nursing home or retirement home.

Not quite the same kaj. Old people have someone who cares about them. be it family, friends or aquaintances and there are laws to make sure they are taken care of. The ape family have no such support network. When they get to be teens or even before and lose their cute looks they are disposed of to roadside zoos or labs or whatever and nobody even cares. it's so sad. At least people have rights and a voice. We don't put them in zoos or sell them to labs yet.

Some monkeys spend 40 years of their life behind bars alone in some zoos. I don't think the elderly spend that long deprived of human companionship.

Roadside Zoo's? What are you talking about?

Nobody to care for them? No laws about how animals are treated? Huh?

You make it sound like they are dropped off to this big pen where they have to fend for themselves or something. I bet you believe we still club baby seals too! Freaking Animal Rights activists saying stupid stuff...



Sorry guys, had to vent, back to topic. There is one commercial that had me laughing off of the couch and onto the floor. I don't even know what they were advertising. It's the one where the old couple are driving along and they pass this other younger guy in a car. Well the old lady in the passenger side has a fake steering wheel and is pretending to drive. As they pull up along side the other car, she looks over, then jerks her wheel (fake wheel) as if she were goign to ram him, and the guy nearly goes off the road...

maybe it wasn't even a commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41Irl69rBZg

I don't know if this one actually aired, but I remember seeing it online on that same funny commercial site. I was eating something when I was watching it too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTXV1QRAsko
