No, it's definently Six Flags.

I think any hair coloring product commercial is funny

Yeah, the Six Flags dancing old man commercials are good.

Though, I remember an older commercial for an AOL-Time Warner thing that also used the song "Vengabus" ... Specifically, a commercial for the Kids WB show Silvester and Tweety Mysteries that substituted the line "we like to party" with Tweety singing "we like the putty." I chose to interpret it as the little bird's message to the masses that not only is he a male bird (people tend to be confused about that due to Tweety's tendancy to appear on Looney Tunes swag intended for the female consumer), but he's also not gay. Somehow, I don't think that's what the original message was supposed to be, but I don't really care.

Oh, speaking of awesome commercials with unintended double meanings... Let's not forget Mr. Bucket. Probably without a doubt MY favorite commercial of all time.

Mr. Bucket is one of these Milton Bradley toys/games for children not old enough to give a rats ass about board games (not that many kids really do anyway), such as "Crocodile Dentist" and "Elefun the Elephant." In Mr. Bucket, there are a 12 of balls of different colors (red, blue, yellow, and green, as always), 3 of each color. The players each have one of four identically color-coded shovel-like things with which they must pick up the balls and place them inside the game's namesake, Mr. Bucket. Mr. Bucket is basically a yellow bucket with a face on him, however there is a little more to him than a normal bucket. He has two arms which move back and forth, attempting to block players from placing their balls in his top. Also, he rolls about in mildly irratic movements, thus furthering the preschoolers that would play the game's difficulty. Lastly, but certainly not least, there is a mechnism within him that causes him to periodically shoot out one of the balls already placed in him, through his mouth. Once one of the kiddies managed to get all three of their balls in Mr. Bucket at the same time, they won the game.

Mr. Bucket first hit the shelves in 1991, and around that same time, a commercial for the game hit TVs, generally airing amidst cartoons and such. It went on for years and years, but its hidden greatness went unnoticed, likely because those watching TV when it was aired were too young and/or naive to pick up on it. Detailed below is the audio of the commercial.

Mr. Bucket: That's right, I'm Mr. Bucket!

Mr. Bucket, singing: I'm Mr. Bucket, toss your balls in my top! I'm Mr. Bucket, out of my mouth they will pop! I'm Mr. Bucket, (little kids yell "wee!") we're all gonna run! I'm Mr. Bucket, buckets of fun!

Announcer: The game's Mr. Bucket. The first to get their balls into Mr. Bucket wins! But look out, because the balls will pop out of his mouth!

Mr. Bucket, singing: I'm Mr. Bucket, the balls pop out of my mouth! I'm Mr. Bucket, I'm always running about. I'm Mr. Bucket, (little kids yell "wee!") we're all gonna run! I'm Mr. Bucket, buckets of fun!

Little kid: I win! I win!

Announcer: Mr. Bucket, from Milton Bradley.

Mr. Bucket, singing: Buckets of fun!


Finally, someone caught onto the huge ammounts of innuendo present. Sadly, so did Milton Bradley, and as such, Mr. Buckets are no longer in production.

I've not seen any videos of the Mr. Bucket commercial going around the internet, but the audio is certainly availible. Just check this page on ytmnd

I, too, remember the Mr. Bucket commercials. I remember looking back on them not too long ago after seeing some Milton-Bradley board games at a yard sale. I thought to myself, "What ever happened to Mr. Bucket? As a kid I never got it but holy crap, I sure hope someone was fired over that. Come on, 'You put your balls in my top, out of my mouth they will pop?'"

I still think the best commercial of all time is the Snickers one, "I'm Batman. You could be my assistant. Would you like that? Would you like to ride with Batman?"

Edit: Oh, forgot the main point I wanted to make...

The lime in Coke commercials must DIE. DIE HORRIBLY. That's all.

There's a commercial for Axe right now that is absolutely a) creative and b) disgusting. Basically the following events happen.

- Guy sprays Axe onto himself before going on a date, mosquito bites him.
- Mosquito ends up getting eaten by a frog, who starts having sex with another frog.
- Frogs have a net sprung over them, next thing we see is an elderly man eating frog legs.
- Man sees attractive woman, who falls for him; tosses him onto a bed... and then we see the guy's tombstone in a graveyard.
- Commercial ends with two worms coming out of the grave making a heart shape.

I'm POSITIVE this has to be the work of those wacky Europeans.

Did I mention said commercial can be seen starting at around 8 PM?

Like I said, it's CREATIVE but I'm surprised people haven't complained to the CRTC (translation: Canada's FCC) about it yet.

Eh. Similiar commercials air here in the states. I'm fairly certain the company that makes Axe is out to have itself sued, or something.

1. Oh yes, because commercials NEVER air twice...

2. Colleen lives in Canada. I'm pretty sure you don't, so it wouldn't matter if you were watching TV at that time anyway.

Anyone else noticed 99% of commercials these days really, really suck? I've stopped watching TV for the most part (besides The Simpsons, Futurama until next month when I have enough bandwidth to re-download Card Captor Sakura which I would usually watch at that time, and the morning news because my mom pretty much forces me to) because the commercials are so bad. Loud, obnoxious, and increasingly disgusting. *cough*FranksRedHotSauce*cough*Ktel*cough*

It's called "CHANGE THE CHANNEL". Very simple.

Family Guy's on at 9 and there's a commercial? Fine. Switch to Desperate Housewifes or something like that. Keep your mind off them.

This is why I watch very very little television and some of the only shows I watch, have no commercials. Yay for Bullshit being on Showtime!

Actually I find Lime Coke to be quite good. Not as good as original or Vanilla, mind you, but I guess Diet Lime Coke was popular enough to have them try it out without that diet taste.

My guess is Anya might like it with rum.

The best commercials are with the one guy in the office full of chimpanzee co workers. I'm sorry, it's just whenever I see a monkey, I'm bound to laugh. I totally forget what the ad is for.
