By far, mine were the Bridgestone Screaming Animals, E-Trade baby and the Clydesdale Training. :D

those screaming animals. I laughed my ass off. I also laughed out loud at the end of that E-Trade commercial when the baby threw up all over himself.

The dog training the clydesdale to Rocky music. Budweiser always comes up with good ads.

LOL I was crying laughing at those animals. I also liked the E-Trade where the baby hired the clown. He "underestimated the creepiness". :lol:

The commercial announcing where you could buy your NY Giants Super Bowl Champs gear. :thumbsup:

I'm not a fan of Manning but even less of a fan of the Patsies. 18 and uh-oh!

Was it just me, or did anyone else find the salesgenie.com ad rather offensive? It's the one with the animated panda bears speaking pidgen English in an exaggerated Chinese accent. The only saving grace was that they refrained from saying "Ah-so!" :rolleyes:

I kept thinking...Someone approved this ad? What were they thinking??

What about the cartoon style one where the guy is East Indian (?) and says he has 7 children to support....I don't remember the rest of it, but I thought that was in poor taste. My kids said it reminded me of Apu from the Simpsons. :shrug:

I thought it was just a stupid ad all around. They should have thought that out before they paid THAT much money to place that stupid ad. :laugh:

I don't think I even realized it aired over there. Do you watch it usually??

My beautiful wife Susan & I seemed to agree that the one with the animated dancing Geckos to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (was that Beyonce?) and the Will Ferrell Pepsi ad toward the end were the two best, to us.

She liked the Justin Timberlake Pepsi ad as #3; my #3 was Bud's Clydesdale training commercial. How Bud can make those Clydesdale ads, year after year, not only be FUNNY but so emotionally touching as well, is amazing.

Those brilliant marketing folks. They really do do a good job.

I am sure it was because it was the fourth quarter, but the Coca Cola ad with the Macy's balloons of Stewy and Underdog fighting for the Coke balloon, only to be foiled by an unexpected Charlie Brown popping out from behind a skyscraper did us in. We were actually cheering "Go Charlie! Go Charlie! YEEEEEAH!"

LOVED the Rocky themed Budweiser one as well! Really a great and touching commercial.

Loved the Justin Timberlake Pepsi one also, but partially because I was in the (his) restaurant that the commercial started in the night before!
