My favorite was the Matrix Bank Guard one. That one just kicked so much ass.

i didn't really like it all that much but i found the reebok one (during survivor... shutup) amusing, especially since they jacked < phonebashing.com's > idea. seriously, in the commercial two guys in phone suits came up and grabbed this one guys phone; they smashed it on the ground. guess they took pbing idea and made it in a legal form... hrm.

ok. kasparov vs pepsi machine.
kasparov if playing a game vs big blue, and then he wins, and hes talking to some guy and hes like "well, what do you expect, theyre just machines. theyre all dumb" and it does a 2001 space oddessey thing, and big blue is reading kasparov's lips. then kasparov is in the elevator, and he goes up to this floor, but it stops short, and he has to climb up there, and the video cameras are watching him, and he walks past a floor buffer, and the floor buffer starts to attack him, but he gets away. then he gets to the end of the hall and its a pepsi machine, and he puts in his money and starts hitting the button, but nothing comes out, and then he looks in the slot, and nothing, and then he starts shaking it, and the can shoots out into his crotch. very humorous.

jetta commercial- you see two guys running through the woods, and theyre running from something, but you dont know what. then they get in the car, and theyre driving off, and the guy not driving holds out this polaroid of himself hugging a bear around the head, and the guy driving is pissed off.

matrix guard - theres some old security guard sitting in a bank, and then these robbers bust in, and he kicks their ass matrix style, and hes like "ha cha cha cha" and then eventually he comes out of it, and its a dream, and theres some woman there asking for something. its for e*trade banks, saying no security guards or bank branches....

is that good?

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot. The thing I hate most is that I didn't have a better idea.

I love that GTI commercial...
I need some money so I can do one up. When I'm done, I'll take anyone off the line!

there's some links on the Slashdot page. Go to the homepage of the companies involved as well. They're all putting them up for bragging rights.

WHAT ARE YOU DOOIIINNGGGG?!?!?!

(bud-light). simple enough. a few richy dudes are on the phone. "What are you doing?" "Watching the stocks, having an import." "that is correct, that is correct". A few other guys drop in, and instead of "whuzzaappp" it's "what are yooouuu doooinnnnggg?!". Pans off to a shoot of a tv with the commerical, guys from orginal bud commerical's of this nature appear, looking at each other with a "wtf is this shit?" look on their faces. Pretty funny.

Etrade, Monkey/Horse. You see a monkey riding a horse in (precieved) Silicon Valley, and you see the horse walking by abandoned .com company's buildings, some being knocked down. at the end a sock puppet that kinna looks like a dog (hehehe) is dropped on the ground, monkey appears for close up, with tears rolling down cheeks. black screen, blue text reading "invest wisely" or something... also pretty funny.

Those are my 2 faves. the pepsi one (already described) was pretty funny. The other bud one with that guy from some show on the WB (segret or something...) is on a couch with some chick, and he goes to get a couple bud's. while he's in the kitchen, he dances around shaking up the bud's (unknowingly) and when he gives the chick her bud it sprays all in her face... shows bud logo, and shows the guy using a blow dryer to dry the girl off.

Although Sithiee already described this one for me, I don't feel it was done justice
Matrix Gaurd; E*Trade
It starts off with an older, 50-ish, overweight security guard. He was leaning back in a chair behind his desk when three guys suddenly broke in. He whips off his sunglasses, kicks this big can that was on his desk and it nails one guy in the head, KOing him. Then he runs and jumps, doing the 'running-in-the-air' thing over like half the bank and kicks the guy in the head, sending him flying. Then he runs off, with the last guy right behind him, he reaches a pillar and runs up it. But he runs in the 'old man style'(short steps, barely moving arms) does a backflip and nails the last guy into the pillar, putting a big hole in it. Then he strikes a kung fu pose and goes 'ha cha cha cha'

Then it switches to him still sitting in his chair with his sunglasses on and a lady asks him "Excuse me, where's you loan department?" and all he says is "Ha cha cha cha"

Then the E*Trade symbol comes up "E*Trade banking. No Branches, No Security guards"
