I had forgotten the GEICO one...let's all go over to Namby Pamby Land...sooo funny!
Sometimes I wonder if a few us would do better with a counseler like that marine. Not those with serious medical diagnosis of problems just those of us who need a swift kick in the behind to get us out of a rut.

I also loved the polar bear Coca Cola commercials, especially the one where the PB cub and the baby penguin make friends.

I love the one, I think it's a Travelocity commercial, it has a family at the beach. The mom says, "our daughter is an architect." "our son is a genius." And then she turns to her husband and says, "You look amazing" and he says, "you're a beach angel." The woman does a hysterical scream laughter. It's stupid, but so funny :)

I love just about all of the Geico commercials but this one hasn't been mentioned yet. Abe Lincoln's wife is asking him if her dress makes her backside look big....hahaha.

Oh I forgot about the Marine therapist! Another family favorite! When my youngest is angry with my eldest she calls her a Jack-wagon; she lives in Namby-Pamby land and gets there via the Loser Line. Someone is making great choices at Geico!
Also, the old Seattle Mariners commercials were fantastic! The ones with Dan, and Junior, and Edgar, and Buhner...LOVED them! I believe they made a video compilation of the commercials, they were so popular here.

I just saw another one that I like - the one where the little boy is playing Twinkle, Twinkle (or is it Chopsticks?) on stage and the pianist comes out and accompanies him, and they both get a big applause!

Thanks for the laughs. I like all of the above and the newish one with the spider phone. I think it is AT&T. ....Nice restaurant, business lunch, and the woman gets up and screams bloody murder (she is good), and a man at the table gets up, takes his shoe and smashes that spider, Only it is the other guys cellphone/Blackberry. She really, really screams. I laugh out loud every time.

edited to add....A great topic!

has someone mentioned the guy with the dog -

the dog can put one of its legs out of sight - and the guy gets to meet a bunch of girls?

(don't remember the sponsor, though)

I like the one where the father is telling the daughter about driving carefully, and the daughter is about 7, then when you see her again, she is about 17.

Also the ones with Captain Kirk telling people that they can do better on the price of a hotel room.
