I love this one. I have always liked the little cartoon/people just like me commercials that AG Edwards runs. The newest one is the best though. Two guys sitting in the coffee shop, one a broker the other an average working stiff. The broker says "Well in my experience with markets like this, you need to stay the course" blah blah blah. So I wonder, is that broker 91 years old, because the last time we had "markets like this" was about 73 years ago it seems.
Here is my fav commerical now. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iiUOZFk1SZ8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iiUOZFk1SZ8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
yeah, the upgrade sign in her mouth is a nice touch and i'm sure not intended to conjure any thoughts outside of a comcast upgrade...
my favourite is when etrade still runs the Chinese guy making his first stock purchase with his family cheering him on. i laugh every time, as it came out at the top in the shanghai mkt. i imagine them now, financially ruined cursing fucking etrade in mandarin. that would be a great follow up commercial/snl skit... oh... think the same about the kid in the AIG commercial who can tuck himself in. skit could have him tucking himself into a nice cardboard box under a bridge with mom turning tricks on the corner.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOKDK0g1Gno Anybody remember the old Ameritrade commercials from the 90's featuring the dorky Stuart character? In this one, Stuart shows his boss how to buy stock online.
u can't beat the poker commercials.. Personally, this is an all time fav. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68GWsIwGXfk&feature=related
My favorite was the Discover Brokerage "Technically, it's a Country." http://commercial-archive.com/node/999 I wish I could find it on youtube.
