I love the Geico Caveman commercials too. I couldn't get the music out of my head and wasn't happy until I googled and found out it was Royksopp and downloaded an album from iTunes. Norwegian techno dance music, go figure.

Love the Geico commercial music. When I hear it in the morning, I just can't get it out of my head all day long. Royksopp is the best.

Love: the Tide-To-Go commercial with the drill sargeant, almost all the Geico commercials, the Silk soymilk commercials, the cell phone commercials with the kid and the mom "fighting" but saying nice things to each other (ex. "You never hated me and you never will!")

Hate: the Dunkin' Donuts commercial about ordering lattes in "English, not Fritalian" (ummm, "latte" is an Italian word to begin with and there is no English word for "espresso with steamed milk and a bit of foamed milk"), any commercials for prescription drugs, the Purina Dog Chow commercial that says it "can add up to two healthy years to your dog's life" (over what? not feeding the dog at all? in that case, yeah, I agree.)

Another good one. That's a good excuse for avoiding someone. "No, sorry, Mr. Creepy Dork. I can't go out with you on Friday, I have to take my Boniva that evening."

Oh yes, I hate her too. Just wanna smack that woman.

My favorite alltime commercial is the cat herders. When the one cowboy says, "I'm living a dream," I just crack up.

I really like the one for Fresh Step? I think...Where the cat needs the Bloddhound to help sniff out the box... Its almost like NOT having one lol.

There are alotta commercials i dont like. Like the VW ones with Brooke Sheilds. The ones where she says women all over are getting pregnant just to get the car, and the women are saying theyve planned their pregnancies for a while.. UGH.

Over the river and through the woods...
I can't remember which cell phone it is, but the commercials that start out with "beep...this is Ted's phone. Ned doesn't have (AT&T, I think) so he didn't get that call about don't mention the word "merger" Ned.."etc. The whole series is hilarious! Also, there is one vaccuum commercial where the family has a white dog, he runs under the couch and comes out a second later and is coal black. That is too cute.

I normally ignore commercials I hate, but some local commercials are too loud to ignore. The one I abosolutly hate is:


It's for a auto dealership, and I didn't even realize until I looked it up that those are the Baltimore Ravens in the add. They haven't changed the jingle in 5 years and one station plays it almost every commercial break...sometimes twice back to back. Yeah, it's catchy...the first 20 times. After that it makes me want to pull my hair out. Plus the song gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day!

Without a doubt, its the Dell Christmas commercial where a guy is working at his desk and his co-workers come around him, singing Deck the Halls and then he jumps up, in a really high pitched voice and sings Fa La La La La La La and his co workers look at each other and walk away.

I love the Enzyte commercials. You know, the ones where 'Smiling Bob' gets the big boost of confidence. It amazes me how many different ways they find to describe the so-called results without actually sayihg anything.

I absolutely hate the commercial that has that dumb song 'the world is full of beautiful things.' I don't even know the company ( I think it's some department store ). I don't pay attention cause the commercial bugs me!
I also hate the Brooke Shields VW commercials; they're downright dumb.
