The Best Commercials Ever [Things I Actually Like]

This post was originally supposed to be about how much I love this commercial:


But then I remembered how much I love this commercial:


And then I found this commercial:


Now I can't decide which commercial I love best. The Shoe Dini has Gilbert Gottfried and old people struggling to put on shoes, which I find enjoyable. The mobile home commercial has well-timed eagle and cougar sound effects, which really spice things up. And finally, the SLCC Haircuts commercial has brutal honesty about the horrible haircuts you will receive for $2, which pretty much sums up the Mormon religion in a little over a minute and a half.

So I leave it to you, the readers of my blog (all five or six of you) to vote on which of these three you find most enjoyable. Please comment specifying which you like and why. Look at me, I feel like I'm doing them "Getting to Know You" exercises they do at BYU Orientation. Maybe I should have been a BYUSA freshman counselor after all.

I'm agoina hafta call this one for the mobile home commercial. Gilbert Gotfried's voice should only be used for talking cartoon birds. If it had been a parrot narating the shoe horn commercial it would have had my vote. Kudos to SLCC for totally making fun of itself. That was awesome. But seriously when mr. cullen said, "my wife's boyfriend broke my jaw with a fence post" he won. Plus "buy a trailer, or don't. I don't care." That's a slogan for the ages. Add in a panther and a eagle call and you've got it in the bag.

Shoe dini. Exactly because the talking bird voice is awesome. A little on the long side though. But, the mobile home commercial makes me kind of sad for our country (and I was just starting to like it again). And, um, back in the day I got practice cutting hair for free...I'm not letting them near my jugular with a sharp knife or my ears with scissors?? Who can afford a 4 year degree? Do they want me to get a haircut or do they want me to go to school there? I can't tell.

Hey, Cam. This is a tough call. Gilbert Gottfried MAKES that shoe commercial. Well, and the guy trying to pull off his {daughter's?} shoe. It's hilarious. The SLCC one was hilarious, and I found myself laughing out loud. The mobile home one was CLASSIC. I loved the lines about his jaw getting broken. That was SO funny. Overall, though, I've gotta go with ShoeDini.

Copy and paste what Megs said into my comment. Cougar & Eagle tracks all the way!

I'm just doing what I'm told.
