I have to admit that I laughed out loud at the Bridgestone tire commercial with Richard Simmons. There he was exercising in the middle of a dark road when the car came and he started screaming like a girl. After the car swerved around him, it sped on, Richard resumed exercising and we could hear him call after the car saying something like, "I believe in you!!". LOL

Also, I gotta love the commercial with SDSU Aztecs, Salaam and Pitts.

Finally, I thought the Justin Timberlake Pepsi commercial was pretty clever; especially the end with the dad's flying TV coming into the frame.

I loved the Justin Timberlake Pepsi commercial, and I thought the Coke one with Stewie, Underdog & Charlie Brown was adorable.

None of the spots really jumped out at me, although a lot of them were pretty good.

An interesting piece of marketing, was showing the "clock" with "less than a minute" to go until kickoff in the pregame show, and then running a single 30 second Ford commercial was brilliant placement.

I wonder what kind of premium Ford payed for that...

Had to be huge.

That was my favorite, hands down. My kids loved it because of Stewie, my husband and I loved it because of Underdog, and then we all started cheering when Charlie Brown showed up. After 40 years Charlie Brown finally beats someone and wins a Coke. Priceless, although I'm sure Coca-Cola had to pay some serious cash to get good ole Charlie Brown.

The Doritos commercial with the mouse was the only one that got me cracking up.

You did. Wasn't it one of the winners of last years vote? I think it was.

I really liked the Will Ferrell Commercial... was that for Bud Light? I can't remember, but I do remember nearly spitting out my own drink when he said "suck one."

Ditto.

My favorite was the Pepsi Max commercial.
I did like the one with the squirrel, too, the cricket screaming was hilarious.
CareerBuilder.com is coming up, I see. I lol'd when the lady's heart jumped out of her chest.
And Tide to Go was funnneeee... lol....

I did NOT like the E*Trade ads or the GoDaddy.com ones, either.

UnderArmour got the drool award though: all those muscles.... whew!!!
