your favorite TV commercials

I like the Gieco caveman ones, of course.

But, one of my all time favorites was the AAMCO tranmission one where the guy goes to some other shop and the desk clerks tell him : "our expert mechanics are working on it right now".

Then they show two chimps standing on the guys trans, beating on it with wiffle bats.

I loved that one.

Most commercials are garbage, however.

I have not watched T.V. at home for a year now, but I really liked the Aflac commercials and (I think) the beef jerky commercials where the guys taunt big foot.

"I pinch."

Honda.

I'm with Dave on not having a TV. When I do watch at friend's now on rare occasions, commercials are a treat, but life is so much better without TV.

I like the new Dell Dimension commercial where the hot chicks are building an engine
to the tune of the new Devo song and then plant it inside the laptop. Pretty unique
and a good song. Its on YouTube

Is there a growing wave of people without tv? I like to think it's made me a better person. My kid managed to make it to college without the experience.

I just caught a Geek Squad ad the other day.
The Geek Squad agent is finishing up fixing the guys computer and the customer asks him if he can look at something else, out in the garage. They get out there and there is a half kid, half mosquito playing vid games.

If I had a top 10 list of faves, this would be #1:



Trivia: Only aired once, during a Superbowl game.
