What are the good and the bad you have seen?

I like the "dillweed" commercials for cell phone company. I forget who it is so I guess it is not THAT effective. They are the ones where the guy will miss out on Final Four tickets because he is shooting at Dave and Busters or somewhere like that, the psycho dad is at lover's lane making a scene and the guy misses out on Motorhead tickets.

I don't like anything that Coke Zero is doing to include the seg's the announcer's make.

A lot of people don't like the McD's commercial with the B-Boy kid in yellow gets down at the dinner table with his apples. But I like it and was glad to see it yesterday. I actually stop tivo for it.
 
That Guitar Hero III where Slash climbs out of the dorks body is pretty good. He seems a little uncomfortable playing that toy guitar though.
 
Without a doubt I am sick of the continuous running of auto ads. It might be a regional thing, but as I right this--Hyundai just capped off back to back Toyota ads.
 
the guy with the mad skillz with the brown magic marker for UPS that needs a hair cut has gotten me a little sick of his shtick.
 
I also enjoy "Bud Light....Suck One", but I'm not sure how many more times it will be funny.

The "Dude" commercials are my favorite, but a close second is the McDonald's b-boy kid dunking his apples to the Cha Cha Slide at the dinner table.
 
I cant believe that nobody has mentioned the Nike 'No Cinderellas" commercial...i LOVE the Boise St. football reference, i bet OU fans love that.

That would have to be the best one so far...but Nike commercials are always good.
 
loop, the cell phone commercials are for at&t.

I'm not particulary jazzed by any of the ads, but I still like the talking/puking baby from the Super Bowl.
 
The VW commercial where the couple is looking at the car in the showroom as the guy upstairs is repeatedly honking the car with the remote. When the girl asks "what's happening?" in a distressed tone, it cracks me up for some reason.
 
The Nike/ Sparque whatever commercial with Kevin Durant in it has me running around my front yard with a parachute tied to my pants.
 
The Enterprise Car Rental commercial is greatness on so many levels:

1. The lady calls Enterprise to say that she's "at the repair shop," just as she turns her head to look at a sign hanging right above the mechanics, perfectly framed by the camera, which reads "REPAIR SHOP." That, my friends, is great film-making.

2. Once the friendly Enterprise rep comes to pick her up, we again see the generic "REPAIR SHOP" sign perfectly framed by the camera. Enterprise came and picked her up at the repair shop! Which is apparently named "REPAIR SHOP."

3. Other than one daring departure in theme (in which Moose rents a fancy car from Enterprise to drive to the class reunion -- Moose pulls up in front of a building adorned with a banner that says "CLASS REUNION" and is mobbed by a group of comely lasses who attracted to his vehicle), that has been Enterprise's main commercial for as long as I remember. They've occasionally updated it with different actors to appeal to a different demographic, but it always involves someone calling Enterprise while standing in front of a sign that reads "REPAIR SHOP." Why? Because when you've created true greatness in advertising, there's no need to mess with it.
 
Sven creeps me out and I would be none to happy to have him lurking about my house yelling at me, reminding me of things and telling me to bundle up. If I had a daughter he would not be allowed in her bedroom.
 
I don't particularly care for the "hey" "buddy" "pal" "sweetie" "baby" etc etc cell phone commercial.
