I miss the Mac vs PC ads Apple used to put out, those were clever

More drinking madness! First up, "you put the lime in the Coke, you nut!" (sung to the tune of You Put the Lime in the Coconut)

And how about some Spy vs. Spy Mountain Dew ads? From their many screw-ups to the creepy background music played on an out-of-tune guitar/piano, those were very funny! (although my daughter thought they were scary when they first came out, and now she laughs out loud at them)

Had forgotten about these.  Spy vs Spy was always my favorite part of Mad Magazine.

Will Ferrell's Old Milwaukee commercials in Davenport, IA

As a Will Ferrell fan, this was funny to watch! Old Milwaukee also happens to me my Grandad's favourite beer

One current commercial that is either funny or stupid, depending on what type of sense of humor you have, is the Diet Dr Pepper Lil' Sweet series of commercials.

Maybe not "funny" per se, but the Crest 3D toothpaste and Crest Whitestrips commercials always have people with great looking teeth complaining that they're teeth are yellow. It seems so ridiculous to me!

I guess they want people to think "if they think they're teeth are yellow, then my teeth are definitely yellow"

It's funny because healthy teeth aren't a perfect, pristine white, they're usually yellow-ish, white-ish.

There is a current ad for a dating site (Live Links) that starts off with a male barista in a coffee shop reciting an order a cute girl usually gets.  She is shocked and impressed that he knows what she always gets.  He claims he has a good memory.

Nothing wrong so far....

At the end of the commercial, she's walking out with her coffee when he says, "Have fun at your yoga class tonight!", and she blushes.

Can you say, creepy stalker-type???

Some "trigglypuffs" would be really triggered if they do new Cheerios cereals ads featuring Sue as the damsel in distress saved by Kid.

And even if Sue is able to kick as well, I guess someone will complain about that, lol.

The Allstate Mayhem commercials were pretty funny.


Meanwhile, we got Kars 4 Kids, which would drive people nuts because of how repetitive it was...

I'll go with both: so stupid, it's funny like this one.

Highly obnoxious ads encouraging you to donate to a charity that doesn't bother to tell you anything that charity does in their ad.  Just to satisfy my curiosity, I went to the local websites that rank charities based on what percentage of monies raised actually goes to the cause, and what percentage of monies raised goes to administrative expenses.  Kars for Kids isn't listed on either site - that should be a HUGE red flag for anyone wishing to contribute.

^^ I have read that Kars 4 Kids is a Jewish firm Oorah which provides orthodox Jewish education.

There was a 30-minute late-night infomercial in the mid-'80s that went WAAAAY beyond stupid, into hallucinogenic: Santo Gold.

The deal was, you'd call in your credit card number and they'd send you a big ol' box of gold-plated costume jewelry – each piece with a gift box and a certificate of authenticity – which you could sell at flea markets or give as "gifts"  to your "friends" .

The first part of the infomercial was a somewhat monotonous sales pitch for the jewelry, explaining why 24kt micro-thin plating is so much better than solid 14 kt gold, and how the big ol' box will be packed by trained professionals, and so on.

But then at the 17-minute mark (starts at 3:25 of the following clip; lasting about 4½ minutes) the program suddenly becomes one of the the most bizarre things ever shown on television:

Remember, that was a sales pitch for jewelry.

A backstory to Santo Gold, which makes about as much sense as anything connected to it, is at   History's Dumpster: Santo Gold
