Anyway, for the most part I agree, but there are some funny ones out there. What’s your favorites?

One of mine is the golfer that wants to play through Ricky Fowler’s group, and he does everything but pace off the distance before he tees off. Fowler’s reaction is hilarious. Heck if I even remember what they’re advertising.

What’s yours?
Haven't seen many recently, except on YouTube and then you can usually click out of those after six seconds, which I almost always do. The ones I have seen (usually on Prime "free with ads"s offerings), seem sorta juvenile.

Interesting, though. Just this morning I was watching a YouTube channel about 1980s and 1990s commercials. There were some corny ones but a lot of them were pretty well-done, considering. The Pepsi commercials were catchy. And who could forget that little old grey-haired lady roaring "Where's the beef"? Some of those commercials for Polaroid cameras were good too.

I've seen little worth remembering in the last ten years or so.
