Commercials I like (or don't)

Kinda Cute but tries too hard

Budweiser's "Real men of genius"

Kinda good but used too much

Capital One's "No. No. No. No. No." (repeat ad infinitum) Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

"Gotchas"

energizer bunny -"they just keep running and running"
geicko-"no. i saved a bunch of money on my car insurance..."

Have started fad phrases

"Whoops. I coulda hada v8"
"I can't believe i ate the whole thing"
"Whazzup????"
"Where's the beef?"

Memorable jingles

"oh what a feeling"
"i'd like to teach the world to sing"
"have it your way"
"you deserve a break today"
"winston tastes good, like a cigarette should."
"For all you do... this bud's for you"

Completely annoying

Prescription medicne ads that quote a textbook full of possible side effects and try to make it sound good, while butterflies and fair-faced maidens are lilting through meadows in slow motion.

Whoever thought that would work?? (But it did.)

The first few Burger King ads with the guy in the King mask. For some reason these ones crack me up. Especially the one where the guy wakes up in bed and the king is there with him.

Sprint's "Stickin it to the man." This one makes me laugh every time, even though I know every line. Polished dialogue, pauses, facial expressions, follow-ons, and inuendos.

Cutest Girls

Krystals

Riveting

Itunes -where the person is walking, but his/her shawdow is dancing. Very cool.

Understatement of the year

“Genital herpes can really be a hassle.”
