I am not normally one to be entertained by a commercial but, this one, well...it really tickled my funny bone. I think everyone could use a good laugh and this one really give me one. So after watching the commercial...have you ever been as happy as Steve with a tax return? Have you ever been this happy with anything? Have you seen any commercials lately that has given you a good laugh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuPoNHCAKMM

Yes, there ere a few times that I was that happy. I'll relate one: I was called for a tax audit and I was told that some deductions were not admissible and was made to look like a tax cheat. Anyway I fought the allegations and eventually won without having to pay a cent. When I got out of the tax office I was jumping and smiling at everybody i saw on the street and wishing them a good day. I'm sure some thought I was a crazy man. But that victory was unexpected and so sweet. Yes!!!

Hey Jen!I hadn't seen this commercial yet! Thanks for the lol! There was a commercial me and my BF were watching with a baby and we were loling but I don't know what it was for. I just asked him and he said it was for "Scatch-Offs". (He should know-he is the "Scratch-Off King). Most commercials mean "time to go to the bathroom or kitchen so I don't usually watch them, but every now and then I get to see one that is actually worth watching!

I am a bathroom runner when the commercials come on too. I am not one to usually like them. I laughed at this one even more when I saw my youngest daughter laughing at it. Thanks for responding. Thanks for the link LadyMarissa!

Thanks for making me smile. I don´t think I have danced like this ever but I have been very happy a few times in my life. I have had toothache a couple of days, so I´m going to the dentist tomorrow. Let´s see if I am that happy when I get my tooth fixed..

Well, have to take penicillin for a tooth infection before she can pull the tooth. It´s not aching any more, and I have about a week to let the infection heal. Not actually dancing, but it is great to know what to do to avoid the pain. I will probably do the happy dancing when the earth is a paradise and we get new teeth and perfect health! One of my elderly friends with a wonderful sense of humor once said about the future paradise: "there will be a great clatter when all false teeth fall"

That's funny! I am glad you are feeling better. Those infected teeth are no joke. They are very painful. Take care.

You might not be that happy today for the first little bit, but I bet you will be happy after that. I hope so. Good luck at the dentist!

That is pretty good. I had not seen it before now. I guess the last commercial that really gave me a laugh is the pig going down the zip line for Geico.

Hi AmbiePam! I like that little pig too. He is funny. Thanks for the response!

It's a great commercial! The beat isn't that bad either. Even though I will not be going to Jackson Hewitt for my taxes, I am hoping that I will be as happy. And maybe do the same dance! At the privacy of my own home, of course!

I hope you are dancing on a desk at your house after the tax thing too...do tape us a video though...we would hate to miss a happy bounce!

hahahaha! I love that commercial for two reasons: 1. The slow-motion dancing is silly. 2. They're playing one of my favorite R&B songs from the 90's. I have had plenty of moments where I've been that happy, from tax returns to winning contests. There were times when I used to dance when I received something for Christmas that was on my list of things that I wanted, jumping up and down with a big gigantic smile on my face. And I'll still get excited about unexpected blessings to this day. lol The other version of the Jackson-Hewitt commercial (with the little girl being tossed in the air by her mother) is very funny as well.

I haven't seen that one yet. I'll have to look it up. I have had a couple of good tax returns in the past that have made want to dance but as far as winning contests...no luck I'll pull a Steve if I ever do though. Thanks for responding and welcome to myLot!

That is absolutely the cutest! Thanks for sharing! I can't say that there are any that make me smile the way that one did.....their marketing firm is outstanding! I have probably not been that happy or acted that way! Usually when I am very happy I cry! LOL

Oh no...no crying..well...if your very very happy then that's different...LOL. I thought it was a great commercial too...when his eyes roll back is when my daughter laughs the hardest then I start laughing at her.

Yep, this commercial gave me the biggest laugh I think I ever had: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2QNuDUTocE&feature=related This had me laughing so hard, every time I saw it on TV, that to this day I do not know what the commercial was about! Do you remember the "First Date" commercial? This is that one. Aside from that, I think I was as happy as Steve when I heard that I was finally approved for diability after a 7-year-long struggle with the government. Hmmm, thinking way back, I was also this happy when I won a one-week cruise in the Caribbean on a local radio show.

I don't remember being that happy in a long ,long time. The commercial I like is an insurance one that shows a bunch of different animals. That one amuses me. Then any Geico commercial usually keeps my attention. I don't watch many of them and have gotten in the routine of checking for something else to watch especially late at night because there are so many commericals in a row before the program comes back on.

I know...those commercials can be a nuisance. When we first seen this one, me and my youngest were waiting on a show to come on and a little aggravated that there were so many commercials. Then this one came on and I got tickled even more when I saw her laughing. Thanks for responding and I hope we all have a few Steve moments coming.

I was almost that happy once when I got a $2,000 refund, but I didn't dance around that much. I haven't seen that one before. It made me laugh!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqVBKO_QM3o This eTrade baby commercial made me laugh uncontrollable this afternoon. I buy a lottery ticket every week & I love the look on the baby's face at the end of the commercial. I so got the dig about lottery tickets!!!
