By popular demand...the best commercials and video thread.

I thought this first video would be fitting. It was difficult to find a video that portrayed the message I was trying to get across without breaking any forum rules, but I succeeded. It's called "Try Not To Be A Dick".

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Hey Hermitism, I feel I'd better ask, is it OK if I post this here? I seemed to have gotten us in trouble last time!

    There was a Budweiser commercial years back, shot inside a bar looking out towards the street through a big plate glass windows. A parade was going by and there was this clown whose suit was made to look like he was walking on his hands, but he was walking normal. Anyway, it was hot and he stopped in said bar for a beer. He proceeded to drink the beer, but it looked like he was sticking it in his butt. The whole bar went Ewwwwwww, in unican and then it cut away to say how great Bud is. It cut back to the.clown asking the bartender for a hotdog, and the bartender saying....uh....i dont think so.

    Havent seen it since

    Cool videos and I remember most of the commercials except the Budweiser one. What's the procedure to post youtube videos here?

    Go down to the bottom of the page and select "test", instead of Red/Gray. Then below where you write your post, select "go advanced", then look for the symbol that says "insert video" when you move your pointer over it. Then paste the YT address.

    If the insert video icon doesn't show up in the menu above where you type your message, go into Settings>General Settings>Miscellaneous Options and make sure Standard Editor is selected.

    I like a couple of the current GEICO commercials, and they need to dump the lizard anyway.

    "The Oldest Trick in the Book" and "Words Really Can Hurt" are good.

    "Aha! madeth thou look!" Cracks me up every time he does it.

    There's a Sprint commercial where a skinny white kid starts dancing and says "somebody call a doctor, cuz' I've got case of boogie fever. Then you see a bunch of other people dancing in the room and a hamster dancing around in a plastic ball. See if someone can post the video.
