Where to Find Funny Commercials

Whether you are doing a project on the ever-changing face of comedy in the commercial world, or you're simply looking for a laugh, there are a number of resources available. From the Internet to reruns of television commercial specials on major networks, you can find funny commercials to entertain you all year long.
  1. Funny Commercials Online

    • Online resources are great for finding old and new commercial videos. Even if you're searching for commercials from television's earliest days, you can find them archived on the Internet. Browse through websites such as Hulu.com, YouTube.com, Google Video and Metacafe.com. Use the keywords "funny commercials" when you search.

      There are also a number of websites that specialize in collecting funny commercials. The Video Vault has more than 16 pages of hilarious commercial content. Funny TV Commercials regularly blogs its findings. Funny Commercial archives humorous commercial content from all over the world (see Resources for links).

    Funny Commercial Collections

    • From time to time, major television networks put together a tribute to the funniest commercials that aired worldwide throughout the year. Keep your eyes open for announcements for this type of show and tune in to watch.

      Check TV listings for reruns of previous commercial collection shows.

    Super Bowl Sunday

    • Hundreds of thousands of people tune into the Super Bowl every year just to watch the commercials. Many advertisers put millions of dollars into their Super Bowl commercials, and over the years memorable commercials featuring the Budweiser Frogs, the Sobe Lizards and Audi's "The Godfather" tribute have amused viewers the world over.

      Though the Super Bowl only happens once a year, the commercials are replayed on regular television for weeks afterward, and can now be found archived in a number of online collections, such as at www.superbowl-ads.com.

    Commercials on DVD

    • You can find video collections filled with humorous commercials for sale on DVD and VHS. Browse through online stores such as Amazon.com, CD Universe, eBay and others that sell videos. Check through bargain bins in retail outlets.
