My Favorite TV COMMERCIALS

My Favorite TV COMMERCIALS

(PART 2)

(PART 2)

(2011-2020)

(2011-2020)

Below, please find what I consider to be my favorite TV commercials between 2011 and 2020.  Most, if not all, are only 30 seconds in viewing time and use humor to engage the audience.  As noted earlier in the previous section on commercials of the previous decade, I have found that what someone finds as "HUMOROUS" or "FUNNY" is SUBJECTIVE and based upon EACH person's own life experiences.  People interpret "humor" in different ways and either identify with it or misinterpret it.  Professional agencies typically "test-market" their commercials first with small focus groups before launching nationally.  The commercials below are what I consider to be my top ten (10) for this next decade.  TURN UP your volume, HIT play, and ENJOY!
