Anyone else love this commercial?

This one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-zqH_C3w94)

Or am I alone on this one?

It's allright I guess. Still doesnt beat the Geico Caveman one though, the one where the two Cromags order duck with the mango sauce....classic.

I love that one too! I was talking about that commercial in another thread... what kind of cam do you think they used? Notice the exaggerated DOF?

The main kid is PERFECTLY cast... he's kind of dopey looking... in a great way. The best actors aren't necessarily GOOD looking so much as INTERESTING to look at.

Did you see the first Geico caveman spot? That one was priceless, where the Geico guy first encounters the caveman...

Barry is right the first one where the caveman is the boom op is the allot better

[Tim Miller]

I just watched the Geico commercials, good stuff. Here is the boom operator one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO7YlZCOPVc)

That guy wasn't a caveman. That's just what boom ops look like.

Three best commercials ever:

"Pack your bags . . . we sail TONIGHT."

P.E.V.R. -- Pause, Empathize, Validate, Resume

And . . .

The Mike's Hard Cola commercial with the parachuting Yeti.

[Barry_Green]

I don't recognize any of those by the titles. Do you have online links?

[David Jimerson]

I wish I did have links.

The first was for Keystone Beer, with Joey Slotnick. It starts out with him walking around, and a voiceover -- "You're at a party. You've got a cold beer, and a brand new shirt. You're . . . a tiger." Then, he takes a sip of the beer and his face shrivels up, and a couple of girls cringe. "Whoa! Bitter Beer Face!" Then, that's solved by drinking Keystone Light, and then the scen switches to noir; he's in a white tux with his hair slicked back, both of the girls on his arms, and he says in a David Niven accent, "Pack your bags -- we sail TONIGHT!"

The next one was for UTV (like TiVo). A guy is watching a basketball game when his wife comes home and starts babbling about some inane thing that happened in a parking lot (it's supposed to be inane). What to do? An old guy starts saying "you can use P.E.V.R. -- Pause" (he pauses the game and turns his attention to his wife) "Empathize" (he puts his hand on her knee, looking concerned) "Validate" (he says "You . . . had a hard day." She smiles and walks off) "Resume." He starts the game again. She comes back and says "You are the sexiest man alive right now." The old guy smirks.

In the last one (might not have been Mike's Hard Cola, but it was Mike's Hard Something), a guy is talking to a girl in a parking lot; he says "see you later?" She smiles and says "sure." Then, suddenly, a giant yeti-like thing parachutes in and grabs the girl and carries her off. More are parachuting all around, and another guy comes up as he watches her be carried off. The other guy says "Man, tough break." "Yeah, she was one in a million." Sympathetically, the second guy says "come on. I'll buy you a Mikes Hard (Whatever)." Cut to shot of the bottle, logo, etc.; then they come back to the bar. The guy's about to take a drink, and another parachuting yeti thing lands on the bar and grabs the bottle.
