Funny Money Commercials

It's Friday, so I thought you might like a bit of a lighter post today -- something cheery to get the weekend started in the right way. So I thought I would post some money commercials that I've found to be cute/entertaining throughout the years. (FYI, I'm not sure how the formatting on this will turn out -- it could be kind of sloppy based on how it looked in my blog software -- but I'm hopeful all the videos are at least included.)

We'll start with a couple pieces for a self-storage company. The first:

And here's its "sister" commercial:  

I love the "you've become the mayor of Stuffville" part. :)

Next we move to a funny but oh-so-true situation many Americans find themselves in when it comes to debt:

This next commercial is probably familiar to most of you. It's the best IMO of a series talking about getting credit reports (which, by the way, is NOT the way to get them -- you do not need to buy them from this company when you can get them for free). But the commercial is still fun:

Next is a snappy commercial touting ways to turn assets into cash (which I don't know much about, but I'm guessing would not be a great deal):

Here's a cute one with a funny twist at the end:

This one is not really about money, but they do get something for free and there's a career angle. Plus, I love it, so here goes:

Of course there are the Geico "rhetorical questions" series. Here's a compilation (I LOVE the little piggy at the end):

And, of course, there's the king of all money "commercials", this skit from Saturday Night Live:

Enjoy!!!!

Laughter is the bed medicine. I love a good laugh.

I agree that the SNL skit is the KING. It's absolutely hilarious and so true (sadly).

I like the Lending Tree, Credit Score, and Storage commercials. Those are funny!

Let's not encourage SOPA!

Absolutely, the SNL skit wins. It's a classic. It still cracks me up for being so right on the mark for our stupid credit card misuse.
