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

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.

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

Not to mention a computer.

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)

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

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

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.

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.
