I have a favorite commercial that I love to watch. It's the Rubber Man, advertising Office Max. He's so cool; I love watching him dancing to the tune, "Rubber Man," as he delivers office products. Very effective ad. Anyone seen it?
The worst commercial is GEICO with the stupid salamander who talks and gets awards. I always hit the remote.
You guys can tell I have nothing better to do than lie on the floor with my legs raised and blue ice on my back while watching reruns of "Andy Griffith." Right?
Okay, back to the floor....

Yeah, it's a gecko. Salamander. Skink. Same thing. Icky, creepy things. EWWWWW.
So what the heck does a skink have to do with car insurance? Because "gecko" sounds a little like GEICO? Dumb, DUMB! Does this sell car insurance? If so, we're really a very stupid society.
Now, about "Rubber Man...."
(Maybe it's just me, Becky, but in my old age, my tolerance level has fallen to zero.)

Most of the commercials I think are dumb are local ones, so no one would know them...
But has anyone seen the IKEA commercial (I know there aren't IKEA's all over) that has a lamp sitting at the end of the driveway all night, and it's raining and stuff...and then this funny voice goes, 'I bet you feel sorry for the lamp.....' It cracks me up because I'm always thinking, 'aw that poor lamp, why did they leave it there?'

Have any of you seen the pepto-bismal commercial with the people having tummy issues and looking like they're doing the macherena or some other disturbing dance? I hate that ad! Reminds me way to much of what really does happen in my tummy! The best commercials are the ones for citibank where one person says something wrong and the other person says "thank you" and then it's alright again. There's one with a woman in the grocery store who asks a woman who isn't pregnant when she's due and the other where the woman starts demanding her boyfriend propose. I think they're both really funny. Those are my worst/best on TV now I would say.

We don't receive any stateside commercials. All of ours are informative about states, countries or military heros.
I can only talk about the old ones, Alka Seltzer I can't believe I ate the whole thing was a great one.

Yeah, Bev. I like the (I thought it was Rubber Band Man) Rubber Man, too. It makes me want to get up and dance.
I love any commercials with dogs in them. Especially the Dirt Devil ones. I'm a sucker for animals.
I will let you know later which is the worst one for me.. I know there are a lot but none come to mind right now.
BTW, Andy Griffith isn't that bad. I think he's kinda cute.
