I think it's Foot Locker (?)

The one where the kid is running w/ a boombox along side the runner and the guy gets mad and pushes the kid and he falls face first into the dirt. Awesome.

Foot Locker had another good one where they were on a school campus and someone was stretching and getting ready to run. One guys puts a starter behind their foot and the other guy fires a gun into the air and all the campus kids duck and run. It was funny, I could not believe that they actually aired that one.

I like the one with the "Dumass" guy. I don't remember what it's for.

I also like the one where the parents buy their son an HDTV for his first birthday.

Both of these had me on the floor the first time I saw them.

In terms of sheer coolness, I've gotta go with the Nike "tag" commericial.

I like the one about insurance!!

"You had a gall bladder operation a few months ago, we're from the collection agency."
"I didn't have insurance!!"
"You remember when they tooks these out? (shakes something in a bottle) Well.. we're just gonna have to put them back in."

I really like the Jack In The Box ad where the doctor is telling how burgers and shakes are good for you - and the ad guy tells Jack he found him at the tobacco company.

That is almost as good as the Pizza Hut commercial from last year with the woman with the southern drawl talking about the pizza and ending with "That's why I want to be your senator." And she is in NYC.

Good stuff

I tend to tune out commercials, most of them are annoying, but I saw one that makes me laugh every time.

The scene is a bar in what appears to be a tropical resort, and there is a torrential rainstorm outside. The bartender has the name of the resort stitched on his shirt and he's watching a game show on tv. The winner on the show has a choice between a new Volkswagon or a trip to the very resort where the bartender is. The bartender is saying, "Take the Volkswagon!", but the guy picks "fun in the sun!" The bartender laughs and says, "Que idiota", but when he turns around, the game show winner is sitting on one of the barstools, giving him the stinkeye.

The Nike commercials "tag," "shadowrunning," and "posterizing". They are all fun to watch.

I crack up every time I see one of Fox Sports' spots for The Last Word. Brutal honesty.

1. The one for TGI Fridays with Dan Patrick...where he rubs the kid's head with his greasy BBQ-sauce-coated hand.

2. The one for Geico Insurance where the insurance workers are flying around the office 'Crouching Tiger' style.

My vote's gotta be for the green M&M's ones that take place in a teenaged son's bedroom. There's a short commercial and a slightly longer one...and they both make me howl everytime I see 'em!!

If you check a few posts above yours you will see that I voted for them. I think these commercials are great. Has anyone ever seen the written versions? They can be found all over the subway trains in NYC, I find them to be quite hilarious.

I love all the Direct Tv NFL Sunday ticket commericals my 2 favorites though are

The on where the guy is installing the dish and the customer just comes out the blue and says "I love you" and then at the end he climbs the ladder and says "hi"

then my 2nd is the one with Jevon Kearse (DE from the Tennesse Titans) and the guy telling him all the stuff he programmed and then Jevon Kearse smacks him on the butt and says" Hey Good Effort" that commerical makes me laugh everytime.

I hate commercialism. Sorry to sound like I'm trying to spoil the party, but it's sad when people start having conversations about commercials, things that just want you to buy crap.
So to answer the question, nothing comes to mind. I mute the TV during commercials or change to channel and change it back when the break is over. Actually, for that matter, I only watch a few hours of TV a week because of its nasssty commercialism. Now even the SHOWS are commercials. So I mainly watch AMC, TCM, TLC, Discovery, etc.

Ok, game on
