Five Commercials that Actually Make me Want to Buy their Product

Let’s face it, unless it’s Super Bowl, we hate commercials. In this instance they’re at least entertaining. Usually we’re either annoyed they’re interrupting our regularly scheduled programming, or we use them as an opportunity to go to grab a beer or go to the bathroom. Or both.

But here are five commercials that have nearly driven me to buy their product. I didn’t even want or need the products, I just wanted to give a good “Bravo!” to their advertising departments.

5. Allstate

What They’re Selling:

Car insurance.

Why You Should Buy It:

So you can be better protected from mayhem. Like him.

4. Geico

What They’re Selling:

Car insurance. Again.

Why You Should Buy It:

So you can save 15% or more on car insurance.

3. DIRECTV

What They’re Selling:

Satellite TV.

Why You Should Buy It:

So you don’t wake up in a roadside ditch.

2. Dollar Shave Club

What They’re Selling:

High-quality razors for a dollar per month.

Why You Should Buy It:

Did you watch the commercial?

1. Old Spice

What They’re Selling:

Personal hygiene products.

Why You Should Buy It:

So Isaiah Mustafa can be the man you (or your man) could smell like.

I’m sure there are plenty of other great commercials that aim for this kind of humorous, sometimes edgy advertising. I want to see them, so link them in the comments!
