Commercial Critic

I guess I watch too much television. I see so many commercials, and I seem to have an opinion about every single one of them. I think I'm going to start making lists of them - like for instance:

           My favorite commercials
Geico commercials
 New Pepsi commercial where the two guys are at a diner and they hear the song - "Why can't we be friends". The pepsi guy scoots over next to the Coke guy and offers him a Pepsi Zero. The Coke guy takes it and starts drinking and the Pepsi guy is taking video of him drinking it. Then the Coke guy realizes that the Pepsi guy is going to put the video on YouTube, you see them breaking out the window of the diner while they fight. It's hilarious! I'm still a Coke person myself though, and won't drink Pepsi.
           Commercials I hate
Any car selling, most of the cellphone selling
           Commercials that make me laugh 
 There was one commercial that I loved to watch. It was of a family in a car, the two boys in the back seat. The older boy tells his mother who is in the front -"Mom! I need more minutes for my phone." He holds up his cellphone. She turns around and tells him she just gave him minutes. He tells her yeah, but those were roll over minutes. The mom just glares at him, she looks like she would love to just smack him upside his head. This commercial isn't playing any more, but I still love it! I guess because I can relate to it. I've felt that way with my kids very often.

I think the way to get me to buy things is to make a commercial that is funny and something that will be remembered.
