Tv ads are a huge marketing aspect of our world and there have been some very unique and sometimes controversial ads. What are some of your favorite ads, current or past? One of my faves was the Mean Joe Green ad for Coke (although I thought it was for Pepsi until I found it again LOL). I loved that ad and it just tugged at the heart strings. Another fave of mine is one of the current NHL ads where the guy is sitting on an NHL bench and literally can't even get out on the ice to "play" as the ad reminds you that "you'd never make it in the NHL, but you can still keep in touch with Verizon". I crack up at the guys face and the fact that he's being so abused.

I like the other NHL comerical where you see the trainning room and all the guys are getting taped up and treated and then you hear a scream. The camera pans and you see a skinny guy trying to get into a ice bath.One of my all time favorite comerical is Mickey and Life cereal."He likes it, hey Mickey!" Classic. And there is the "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootie roll pop? and now there is a new classic. A woman comfronts a husband with a stain on his shirt." It's dipping sauce" she says . He says it's lipstick. He is having an affair with his secretary Jessica. she says no it is dipping sauce. Then it shows you all the food you can get at Jack In The Box with diping sauce. Then the phone rings and the wife answers the phone and says who is it? On the other line Jack from Jack In The Box and he says in a woman's voice "It's Jessica."

Yeah... I love that NHL one too. The NHL ones have me roaring most of the time! What about the one where they are in the hotel for the All Star game and Ovechkin orders a ton of food to Crosby's room. LOL Face it, all of the NHL ones are great. I haven't seen the jack in the box ones either.

I loved that Joe Greene commercial, there was another great one for Eat N Park, a Christmas tree that bent down to pick up the star. There is a commercial for Aflac with a goat and the duck which is pretty funny and the one with the dogs singing aint no bugs on me. Those two are my favorites that are running right now.

I loved the Mean Joe Green one as well. Also the one with "I want to teach the World to sing" by Coke. I also liked the "I'm a pepper" commercials by Dr. Pepper. The one Burger King where they showed the one from the 70's and used the same actors in an updated verions, a then and now type. I love some of the Direct TV (I think that's them) where they use the movies with the edited section saying how they have direct TV. The Star Trek one in particular is great. I love it.
