new commercial I saw the other day during the Oakland game... I think it was bud light.


Girl offers guy a beer but insists he brush her dog. She hands him this ratty nappy terrier and a brush. Dog looks horrible! He then watches her walk into the kitchen and immediately starts wacking away, I mean brushing. All you see is fur flying everywhere! They then pan to the dog which lost all its hair! The hot girl comes back into the room and the guy has his arms wrapped around the dog so she can't see it and he is baby-talking to the dog!

Its really funny!

I read that 4 times and I still don't see how it could be remotely funny.

The apple Macintosh ad from the 80's... so daring and different in an age of rapid commercialization.


Other favorites - Big/little macintosh add with that chinese basketba guy and Vern Troyer

- "Nice boots" in the washroom from Europe.

-XBOX UK ad that was pulled from TV. Awesome ad, but very edgy. It shows a mother in contractions and then with a push her baby goes shooting out from under the maternity sheets and out the window and goes sailing over Britain, aging as it goes, and then crash lands in a grave. The theme: "Life is short. Play Xbox"

Levis 'wide leg' jeans - with Soft Cell's Tainted Love. Set in a hospital emergency room. The monitors' beeps and clicks turn into the music for Tainted Love, and the patient, doctors and nurses start to sing along. Pure creative genius.

Reebok's pump bungee jumping commercial. "They fit a little better."

The McDonalds commercial featuring 2 mute people. The guy is trying to convince the girl (using sign language) to stop studying and go to the beach. In the end they are at the beach, and she signs to him, "You have a way with words."
