My vote goes to the Slowsky turtles!! The first one I ever saw was one of the first, if not the first one. The turtles are on vacation and sitting on some lounge chairs. The wife starts in on high speed internet while the husband is stuck on dial -up. While shes talking, the husband looks at her and proceedsto hiss at her. I had to see it a few times to really get the full affect. But when I did, I fell of my chair.

I still think the ad with Kevin Federline from last ears Super-Bowl was hysterical!!! But, what were they selling?

Hrm, nothing quite impresses me like that old HP Printer ad did. I am trying so hard to remember the name of the fiber cereal ad (it is on during the Today show in the morning) which features many symbolic references to the digestive benefit of eating fiber - in the form of a dump trunk dropping off its load, etc.

I like the T-mobile ad where a guy's girlfriend calls his buddy and the ringtone is Secret Lover. Link below:

I find it humorous that half of your "best" list would go on my "worst" list.
I mean, c'mon. "Bendonka-donk-butt"??? Did a three year old with a "hipster"-complex write this?

The best ad right now is the Snickers ad with the toga guy and the Viking, announcing a party.

Second best is any one of the 3 Geek Squad ones, "I'll get my stuff." (mosquito-boy, mandroid and asteroids)

Third best is the Geico one with Warren (or Loren) Wallace.

Really? These are the contenders in the Best Ad category? None of them are really that good. I hate the "IDK, my BFF Jill" commercial. That girl needs to have more than her cell phone taken away, she's a brat who is badly in need of a major attitude adjustment.

The new All Bran ad has slipped by many viewers because at first look, it appears to be a conventional snoozer. Not so. The background 'movements' are blantantly timed to the dialouge. Not subtle in the least, but very funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwX8MzOKOzI

The Commercial with K-Fed from last year was for Insurance, I believe. Since it was one of those Now What? Commercials, and I think those are insurance commercials.

I think the bulldog commercial is quite adorable though. Some of the DQ commercials are quite smart though, and they aren't bad. xD

Phil, Calgary — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:21:56 GMT

Just an FYI, that "slowsky" turtles ad is a direct ripoff from a Shaw Cable ad up here in Calgary, from 2-3 years ago (though the Shaw Cable one used snails)...even some of the jokes in the ad are directly copied. Not to fault anyone for missing it, since we get more US ads here than you get Canadian ones there, but I wouldn't be citing "originality" as one of this ad's features.

YES! Linda (from Redmond, WA) sent the link to the Bran ad that I couldn't find. Excellent.

As she said, it appears to be a snoozer but the moment you see what's going on, it's a far better ad.

My fave is still the T-mobile add where it's 2 guys at a table and one sees the other's lower back tattoo. "Playa" Immediately he takes him out of his fave 5 and possibly out of his life all together.

Too funny

The ones I love (there are three, two from one company, another for another show on a different network show.) The first two are the parents "arguing" with their children "I know you love me!" One is a mother-daughter and the current one is a father-son. The other one I like is the commercials for "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe and the pig.

I think the funniest ad is for Nationwide Insurance, where the guy and the girl are watching TV and he gets a phone call and steps away. The girl, clearly bored by the game on TV, looks down at the half a dozen remotes, picks one, and tries to change the channel. However, the remote she chose is for the gas fireplace in the background, and when she can't get the channel to change, she keeps pushing buttons, turning up the fireplace and lighting the whole wall on fire, all the while she is completely oblivious. Life comes at you fast! Hilarious.

Some of the ads might be mildly entertaining (I liked the Wendy's "thunderthighs" ads myself), but are probably very ineffective at selling their product. Especially troublesome are the ones that identify a problem the consumer has with the industry, and then tries to identify it with the competition, but not the company paying for the ad. The problem is that consumer's don't pay that much attention to the details in a commercial, and are often left only with a persuasive re-enforcement of the problem in their minds, along with the name of the company paying for the add. As for the Wendy's ad, I think it's very entertaining, but everytime I think of going to Wendy's I think of "thunderthighs", and pass.

The T-mobile my faves commercial with the father talking to his daughters boyfriend. Nobody I talk to seems to realize that the father does not blink through the entire commercial. "It's like I'm watching you...aallll the time." I think this is one of the funniest I've seen in a while.

Is there a Good commercial? I think the number commercials have ruined the viewing pleasure of TV. Now you never watch at the scheduled time, but play back so you can fast forward. Many of us will l buy stock in a company that will cut ALL commercials in DVR mode!! Maybe we should boycot all products advertised more than once and evening.

My favorite commercials right now, ones I will gladly stop the tivo for, are the Sonic drive-in ones. I love the new one for the cookie dough shake, where the woman is talking about how the cookie bits make you savor the treat because you have to slow down to eat them and the guy has already wolfed his down and now has "ice cream headache". That is so totally my husband! I love all the Sonic ads, the people are very real and funny.

No one here has mentioned the "Discovery Channel's Boom De Yada" commercial. Which is possibly the best. My other contender is the "Foundation for Better Living's Opptimism" commercial with the kid who's the greatest hitter in the world. It's a must see.
