Commercials. We all hate them. Or most of them anyway. I almost can’t watch the network evening news programs because I get tired of the prescription drug commercials. They are not at all entertaining and seem to go on for hours with their list of possible side effects.
Or the boner pill ads. Geeze. WHO among us has two old free-standing bathtubs next to each other out in a pasture unconnected to any plumbing?
So I change the channel.
But there are a few good commercials. Like the Old Spice ones featuring Isaiah Mustafa:
Here is a link to another one in which he uses a STIHL chain saw as a prop.
And I almost hate to admit it but the Progressive Insurance commercials featuring Flo are pretty good. At least until they started running 5,395 of them each hour.
But not everybody is tired of Flo, including the 756,000 people that “like” her Facebook page. Or the 500 people that posted their pictures of themselves dressed up as Flo, mostly for Halloween I assume. I mean…. why else?! (I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt!) The real Flo is on the left, below.
But one of the best commercials is this one. It almost makes me want a minivan. Ummm. No, not really. But check it out.
What commercials would YOU nominate for the best and worst?
