TV Commercials that We Love

It doesn't even look like Charlize! If I just saw that picture and wasn't familiar with the movie, I would never know that was her.

She transformed herself physically and emotionally for the role in "Monster" She won an Oscar for the 2003 movie portraying the life of Aileen Wuornos. Amazing bit of acting. It's a disturbing movie, but highly recommended.

This is, by far, my favorite commercial in many years:

 

[Sarah G]

I like this one because it's so clever. Not sure if the medication is good or bad.

I saw a few SB commercials today. The bear one was kind of cute, IMO.

I love the Idaho potato commercial with the farmer and his dog trying to catch the truck--but I don't know how to post it.
Sorry!

Sorry!

You just go to Youtube, punch it in, highlight it from your address bar. Right click. Select copy. Go to the thread where you want to paste it. On the tool bar on the top of your reply screen is an option that looks like a film strip near the smiley face option. Choose that. Right click and select paste and then post it! Hope that helps!

I did exactly what you said, twice, on two different sites, and when I tried to put it in the post, it said it couldn't be entered as media. Sorry. Guess I'm hopeless. ANYWAY, great commercial.

See the address bar on the top right below the tabs where it says the www.youtube, etc., etc.?

You would place your cursor over that and highlight it and then right click on it, which would bring up this drop-down menu.

You would select "copy" on the drop-down menu. Then you would leave that site and come back to the thread that you wanted to post it in . . .

Do you see the little tool bar on the top of my reply box? Look to the right and you will see a smiley face, then an "image icon" and then an icon that looks like a little film strip in blue? You would click on that little blue film strip and then you will see this . . .

See where it says "Enter media URL:"? You would now right click there, and you will see this come up . . .

Another drop-down menu. See where it says "paste"? You would click on that and then you will see the address in that little box. It will look like this . . .

The address is now in the box, and then you would simply select "embed" and then post reply. Walla!!!

Hope that helps you more.

I do it the easy way. I find the commercial, click on it to make it go to the UTube video and right click to get the url address. I copy that and just paste it directly to the post.

THANK YOU THANK YOU BLESS YOU.

Any commercial for the A&E show "Bates Motel."

 

[NYcarbineer]

Those latest GE commercials are god awful, the orc and elf one for example.

The Flo commercials for Progressive are wearing out their welcome too, despite many of the early ones being quite good.

Actually you can just copy the youtube address and post it directly into your message, skipping the tool bar.
