The HP one is good. My favorite is the Nike commercial from a year or two ago where athletes are warming up for their respective sports and the music in the background is of an orchestra warming up. I don't have a cap of it and would love it if someone did.

Yeah, the HP one is great.

I particularly liked the one where some guy gets hit in the balls by a baseball. Forgot which commercial that was.

I love commercials. Some of my faves are for "The Royal Bank of Scotland" I believe.... 4 business-types sitting at a restaurant, one starts choking, and they discuss the heimlich maneuver for a while and the fact that the other guy is choking but don't perform it on him.

Then there's the one where the guy covers his face with yellow high-lighter and makes his boss believe he's sick so he gets to go home.... and you see him on the phone with his co-worker who apparently tried the same thing, but says "I dunno why it didn't work..... he (the boss) didn't believe me!" then they show his face and he used like pink hi-lighter instead of "I'm sick" yellow.

Then there's that one where this guy has this fake lion's head on top of his head, and he's approaching some lions in the wild to see how they react. He has a scientist behind him coordinating the test, and as they get closer to the real lions, the scientist says "initiate agitation phase!" and the guy with the lions head makes this really whimpy sounding "grrrrr" and the real male lion starts to head his way and they cut to a "not everybody uses common sense" type thing.

And the Dairy Queen one where the guy is eating this new hot n spicy sandwich from DQ, and breathes fire all over the office.

There's tons more, I wish I could download them, but I have no idea where to find them online (for free) if they're available. I started a thread a while ago seeking help to find them but I didn't get any links.

I liked the "I felt it" beeper commercial, not sure if that was really real though :p

I don't feel like searching for it right now, but the Geico "Tiny House" fake reality show cracks me up.

Yup, the Nextel Dance Party ad is hilarious!

I keep cracking up at it bc the guy on the right side looks like a person that works here. Even his associate thinks so. Then there's this other guy who works here who looks like the prairie dog cubicle guy in the Honda Pilot commercial.
