"Give it to Mikey, he hates everything." "He likes it. Hey Mikey!" I remember that one. I wanted Life Cereal after that one. My favorite Budweiser Commercial is the snow fight where the 'younguns' are kicking snow balls at the older guys. Then one of the older guys goes over to the tree the 'youngun' are standing under and butts it. All the snow falls off the tree and clobbers the 'younguns'. Very good commercial. Remember the one where the Clydesdales are lined up to play football and all the other animals - sheep, elk, buffalo, coyotes are all on the sidelines and one of sheep busts through and he's been sheared? The guys hanging out on the fence, say, "Streaker!". That one's good too. What about the Life Cereal Commercial with Mikey? “Give it to Mikey, he hates everything.” “He likes it.

When we lived in Austria we got all the German channels and since our German leaned to grocery store and restaurant we could sometimes actually understand them :) There are definitely some funny commercials in Germany.

Back in the days (aka when I was knee-high to a grass-hopper), several channels had short animated films between the commercials. Some of the characters from those animated mini-films are legendary, e.g. Äffle & Pferdle (monkey & horsey) of a TV channel in the south of Germany, Onkel Otto of hr3, and, of course, the famous Mainzelmännchen of the ZDF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6OPv-Umkb8 “Guinness is good for you” commercial of 2000 – everybody in it was laughing their heads off and so did I. :) Great fun!

Sometimes food commercials are appetizing, and make me hungry, but by the time I've gotten to the store (usually days later), hunger has passed. I do think commercials increase brand trust/awareness. Good, classy, memorable ads will make me think fondly of those companies, and thus, more likely to trust their products. Very few commercials actually make me *buy* something.

They have such a nice heart to them.
