Dunno if this was supposed to be the whole commercial, but I loved it!
It was the "one second ad"
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RwdLdQxhZGk/R1-RKbsT3zI/AAAAAAAABpk/1TWsDSnVxW8/s1600/millerguy2.jpg) This guy is standing in the warehouse and just says "HI LIFE"
End of commercial.
[laugh]
The Career Builder ad was the best IMO. The Koala wearing glasses and sipping coffee getting punched in the face was friggin' hilarious! [laugh]
I'd give the Bridgestone one with the potato head couple second place. Lots of good ones this year though! [thumbsup]

the koala getting smacked was great, but the repeated "Hey Dummy!" from the asian guy had us rolling!

Jay Leno
in the AC Cobra
Driving down PCH (despite the CA 10 sign)
All while rockin' Sam & Daves' " Hold on, I'm Comin' "
We tevo'd the game and I re-watched that 10 second (or so) bit about 5 times... Nice...
I liked that one ~

Was getting a fresh beer and missed that one. :(
My faves (in no particular order):
- "Double Take" by Monster.com. Loved how they bring the picture to the other side of the office wall and the guy's sitting under the moose's ass. [laugh]
- Leno's commercial in the Cobra. [thumbsup]
- The CareerBuilder ad where they punch the Koala bear. [laugh]
- The HULU ad with Alec Baldwin. "TV only softens the brain - like a ripe banana."

it is cool watching a commercial and knowing the exact area on the pch near the big rock near sycamore canyon where he is driving... had to tell myf riends on the east caost that i was there every weekend. damn i miss the west coast.
the transformers prevue
I have to go with the "angry executives" ad from hundyai
we were laughing like crazy at the screaming german guy [laugh]
How about the LMAO clinic?
career builder was hilarious and I think the LeBron James having his Browns dream was equally so. But it is more funny to someone who lives in Browns territory but is not a fan (life long Steelers).
I didn't see many and cloudn't hear most in the bar, but I thought the heros one with Elway was good - really just for the part at the end.
The career builder one looksd good but hard to follow it without sound.

That one was hilarious [laugh]
Conan's Bud Light ad was disturbing and hilarious!
The MacGuyver Pepsi ad. Worth it for Richard Dean Anderson's mullet. And the Transporter Audi ad.
Overall, I though this years offerings were rather weak. Probably a sign of the times.

Check out hulu for it. I've watched it a few times today. Saw something on CNN that two out of work guys won an internet contest by coming up with that commercial. An instant classic.

Thanks! Just checked it out. pretty funny stuff. [laugh]
hulu was hilarious!!! couldn't believe they said those mind numbing things, but they picked the perfect spokesperson. Alec Baldwin can say twisted things without breaking a smile. Remember him in Saturday night live putting the moves on that boy scout???? twisted, absolutely twisted.
also liked the pepsi commercial about the men getting hit but still being able to take it. the guys cutting wood is so slapstick and done before, but still funny!!
pepsi also did the magruger ad, and what made it even funnier was the saturday night live skits that preceeded that commercial. head me laughing at the inside joke!!
