(9,572 posts)So one day I was stuck (er, blessed) with watching two car loads of kids, I put on Jurassic something or other on the tube.
The kids were frightened when a T Rex chased a little girl under a bad.
Gary (the parrot who was in awe of the T Rex) quoted this commercial to the little girl...

Then they run down a list of side effects

The Liberty Mutual ads have been pathetically bad for years, particularly in relation to the ads from their competitors, and I'm starting to think that might be deliberate. They're vapid and unfunny in a way that's close to embarrassing.

I also like an old Subaru commercial where a dad is watching his teenage daughter drive off for the first time and sees her as about 4 years old - very sweet.

I liked the Capitol one ad where Slash is auditioning. Oh, Youre in!
Years ago the Morris the cat ads.
I like the pitch from Lawrence at the end of his shows this time of year for the K.I.N.D. fund with the stories, interviews, messages and films of the children.
