Which Do You Prefer -- the Show or the Commercials?

In this election year let's take a vote. All those who like TV shows raise your hands. (counting, counting... Got it!) Now, all those in favor of commercials raise your hands. I have to tell you my hand went up for commercials. I love imagination. I like a stretch. I love creativity. I like humor. I expect the unexpected.

My current favs? Glad you asked! Betcha they are yours as well:

1. the baby on E-trade especially when he rents the clown
2. the baby on E-Trade calling his golfing partner Shankapotimus
3. GE airplane engine ads with the heron-like birds waiting for the runway to clear
4. Trevelers Insurance dapper gentleman with the huge red umbrella
5. Sprite basketball court "pool"
6. Liberty Mutual's vignettes of people helping each other (lady pulls guy back to curb, postman helps man on ladder, etc.)
7. lactose intolerant rollover phone minutes
8. Mazda's Zoom-Zoom (I always end up whispering these 2 words myself)
9. Hank the Clydesdale making the Anheuser Busch team
10. AFLAC's duck - what a hoot!!
11. Firemen voting on their cell phones for Sprint (what a statement on politicians)

Send me your list under "Comments" below this entry. I look forward to hearing from you!

Okay so I've been thinking about this long and hard, and I think my favorite commercial is the Hundai car one where the car is stuffed with cash and the girl standing there agrees to take the car. That exact car, or test drive it "as it" I laugh every time.
