"Ello Governor"

Alright I have been starting to watch more and more TV as of late and as a result, since I am really fucking lazy with my DVR and all that shit I still end up watching commercials. Now commercials are a crucial part of a television experience and as a result this is a list for discussion for good commercials out now and in the past.(I am sure all of these are on youtube so I don't want to post them all out but go and check them out"

-Favorite Commercial on the air Right Now: I really like the Gatorade AM commercial with all the athletes getting up first thing in the morning and getting their gatorade from the gatorade version of the milk man: Kevin Garnett. A funny little commercial.

-Best Commercial Series: This one has gotten tough the more I think about it, so its gonna have to be a tie between the Nike Lebron Commercials and the Air Jordan Commercials. Ones in particular I reccomend for each are for Lebron: all of the Lebron ones from last season and this season as well as the Witness one. I might be a bigger fan of the witness one just cause its so fucking sick. For Air Jordan: the ones you gotta watch are the one of all the kids doing all his moves and the ones with him and Mars Blackmon (aka Spike Lee)

-Most Intimidating Commercial/ Pump Up Commercial Award: Has to go to the Nike Warrior commercial with the masks from a couple years back. All of you I am sure know what I am talking about.

-Best Commercial that I cannot find online or anywhere: The commercial when NFL Network originally started that introduced Rich Eisen to the network. It was him doing all sorts of shit (such as checking out diamonds for players and putting balls in the machine for players to chatch). Impossible to find though.

-Most Consistent Commercial Line- The This is Sportscenter commercials have been going strong for some time now. They hit their peak in the 90's but still have a lot of potential.

Best Use of Cinema that to some extent are actually commercials: This award goes to the BMW Films series from back in the day starring Clive Owen as the Driver and having short movies from famous directors. Yea technically they were movies, but lets be honest they were actually trying to sell a product.

Most Overhyped Commercials: Always goes to Super Bowl Sunday. Yes they are an elemental part of Super Bowl Sunday, but lets be honest here. With all they hype and billing they get they should be a lot funnier on the whole.

Best Use of Animals: The commercials that use animals the best have to be the careerbuilder.com ones with the guy working in the office full of monkeys. They are just too silly to handle. I think monkeys are funny in almost any situation, I mean who doesn't love an animal that throws feces.

Funniest Commercial that I can think of at this Moment: This is the only commercial I am gonna put up from youtube. You guys might not like it because its pretty stupid but I still laugh everytime I see it.

This post was meant to get some discussion going and so people can reminisce. There's nothing quite like a good commercial.

Wow, that Raisin Bran Crunch one is pretty damn funny! I've never seen that one. I guess I haven't been watching enough Lifetime.

first thought I had was those DQ commercials.
I hella like the new Gilbert Arenas commercials though, even though he is ragging on the warriors.

yea as a late write in: funniest line of commercials go to the sonic commercials with the two guys sitting in the car. i like the one with the guy talking about eating the chili hot dog from the middle to penetrate its defenses and then getting chili on his face.

I'm going to say that I agree, and I have never seen the ello governor commercial, which was quite nice, and my favorite commercial, maybe of all time, is the sprint one with the black guy eating cake, who says you agitatin' my dots
