I loved the Studny twins for Godfather's Pizza. I've been remembering it for 30+ years.

Years ago there was one for Carnation Slender that had us rolling in the floor. Today it would be banned. Most of the ones now are boring. Especially Flo...can’t stand that one.

I love the Energizer Rabbit.

My cousin used to have her TV on most of the time. Her dog would run to the TV when her favorite commercial came on! Can't remember what the commercial was though. The Clydesdales are always memorable for me.

This is my all time favorite commercial. It is very reminiscent of my learning to drive a stick shift. Lol.

I love to watch the TV shows that has a conglomeration of funny commercials from all over the world. I get a big kick out the way other countries portray things.

Although, since the advent of DVR's I no longer watch the commercials on TV. Like a number of you have said, "what were they advertising?" comes to mind often.

However, there are a lot of TV commercials that I do like from the past. One of them is the ad for 'Accent" MSG. The advertisement said 'to wake up the flavor in your foods'. It showed a close-up of a lady holding a whole, raw chicken in her hand and then she slapped it and said, "Wake up". What made it so funny to me was when she slapped the chicken, they made it sound like a really great smack. That commercial was in the early 70's and, of course, MSG is no longer used, but the commercial was hysterical to me.

I do have a lot of favorite commercials that I remember, but that is the only one that I can think of right now.

Okay, I just found out that I could view 'funny commercials' on You Tube. Some of them are hilarious. This is definitely going to be my "daily laughter place. Sometimes you just need a 'laughter' break.

Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner,
That is what I'd truly like to be-ee.-ee
For if I were an Oscar Meyer weiner,
Everyone would be in love with me!

I have 2 dachshunds (I've had as many as 6 at one time). The Oscar Meyer song is the family theme. :D

I cut the cable TV years ago and don't miss a *thing* about commercials. I think the last time I liked one was the Chuck Wagon little wagon guy driving in the kitchen with a dog chasing him. If we see commercials these days, they all seem so very stupid. I have no idea if that is the generation gap or just the advertisers aiming lower than they used to. Ugh.
