Oh, Tina, I got yer "warm nuts" right here.

[Pennsanic]

Bud Light.

I still love that old Diet Coke commercial with the hot construction worker.

[provgrays]

Bud Light thinks tthat commercial will sell beer?

[DC]

Good question. Viewers forgot what the ad is about. Bud light or some jerks.

[noneIn2008]

Promoting mindless consumerism, one commercial at a time. If you really want to be green, avoid any product force feed to you over the TV.

[Auldphart]

If you're so all fired green, why do you have a TV?

Not to mention a computer.

Fey is sooooooooooooooooo ug--ly!

[DDK]

Remind you of some girl who turned you down???

[provgrays]

It must have been a gray and white tabby.

[muypolitico]

Are you visually impaired? She is soooooo hot. The politician from Alaska should have been flattered to be treated as a look-alike (a major upgrade for the pol)

[provgrays]

Roger,

What?
Fey is beautiful and she has actual talent. You are a minority of one with that comment.

[VOTER]

Sarah?

[SouthJerseySteve]

The Hulu ad is very original -- nice special effects too.

[goodog]

Neither is THIS polling apparatus how you do a poll!

Show ALL the contestants on one page and THEN ask for the best or the ranking.

Yes, I'm a curmudgeon... so shewt me!

[mirza]

[VirginiaJeff]

[kitten645]

Too true!

[VOTER]

BINGO!

[mayrose]

Thanks, I needed this!

[skantea]

As a copywriter I appreciate that most of the nominees are copy driven.
My vote splits between Porno Guy and Career Tips.
Good stuff.

[VonTeshyn]

Screaming Woman in Career Tips used to be me.

[paganmist]

The Clydesdale one makes me teary-eyed.

Because the horse went and found his true love, see?

Oh, come on. You know it's heart-warming.

[VOTER]

If only the setting was in Argentina ..........­..........­..........­.. Sigh!

[remma3000]

I actually think the other two Nextel commercials in the series are funnier than the wedding one. The roadies at the airport is much funnier.

The Hulu commercial tops this set.
