In retort to Seil's thread.

Yes I know there are plenty of awful, truly truly awful commercials ou there. But there are some that make me laugh my ass off. (Pet Beaver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDTa1Abw7Lc&NR=1) for Molson, Newfinese (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m-y-qAbpL0) for the Nissan Bona Vista)

What are your favorite commercials.

You jerk! (=3)

Anyways, is it just me, or are the PC versus Mac commercials getting more... I don't know what word I should use to describe this.... aggressive? I mean, they're pretty much flat out saying "MAC IS BETTER THAN PC BUY US NOW PC IS EVIL." They used to be like "Hey, Vista sucks, buy a Mac."

Although I said I'd buy a Mac. I find those commercials so...tasteless. When I get my comp, I will tell the sales person this

I did not buy this computer because of those half assed, awful commercials. I bought to expand my abilities as a movie maker.

This is getting there, (http://youtube.com/watch?v=WTpEoZYFLkw)
While this is both objectifying women and putting the focus on appearance rather than any other personality perks. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=KNnX6XRQBec)

And as soon as I get back from work, I'll post the newer videos.

Did you guys know that the giant, 35-foot umbrella in the new Traveler's commercial (http://www.travelersinsynch.com/lc_advertising.html) is actual size? I could care less about the company, I just thought that was interesting.

I do not believe there is any commercial more awesome than this one. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NySN_plfiNI)

Really, we might as well end this thread right now.

Shameless plugging:

Wii would like to play is dead.


Thank you, bastards (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/22/mario-kart-ditches-wii-would-like-to-play-for-cowboy-jed/).

(This is still the best Mario Kart ad. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2_Jc757Xg14))

I enjoy the budlight commercial where the guy gets to talk to his dog, that cracks me up.
