Cheers and jeers: TV Commercials
I think the Hanes commercial with Marisa Tomei is brilliant marketing. She's exceedingly cute and charming. Even the music goes well with her dancing around and whatnot. Those ad execs deserve raises for that outstanding commercial and for even being so confident to have gone out and surely paid big bucks to get the Oscar winner. Cheers to them.

On the other hand, the new Burger King commercial with the rock band advertising their new chicken fries? Those execs need to be fired. The band members are wearing *chicken heads.* NO ONE wants to think about chicken heads when they're eating chicken. It even plays into really nasty urban legends. Horrible, horrible marketing. Jeers to them.

2. That one got me, too.
I actually went out and bought a pack last weekend. Don't think I've had them in years.

I also love the one with the guy disguised as a lion on safari..."Begin agitation phase..." Always makes me crack up. :)

Another one I always loved was the cat herding commercial they aired during the superbowl a few years back.

7. Jeers...those Maxwell House ads set to "Our House"
I used to like it, but I officially despise that song now. :grr:

8. OH man...that one makes me cringe...
It's too hokey. I'm awful critical, but I really dislike that series.

And they messed with the lyrics so much...
