Everyone looks at Poppin Fresh, who has this "Uh-oh!" look on his face. And then it turns out it is a "Got Milk?" ad. Made me literally laugh out loud.

My fave is the one called "coaster" down at the bottom, just above the credits.
Originally Posted By Inspector 57 Thank you, Dabob! I had not seen them. I just watched "Coaster" four times. It made me laugh out loud every single time. It's perfect! Those looks of resignation and exasperation are so univerally understood by anyone in a long-term relationship! I thought the milk-carton spot was just okay. First of all, is a housemate's drinking milk out of the carton a situation that real people personally relate to, or is it just a stock comedy issue? Second, it wasn't a "carton" she was drinking out of, it was a jug. Third -- and most important -- why give the narrator a British accent when you're trying to normalize things in Illinois? Great concept, poorly executed.

Originally Posted By Labuda Great "wear your seatbelt" commercial there, 2oony! Helps illustrate why my car NEVER moves unless EVERYONE is buckled up.
