My television isn't on much since I work evenings, but I did see the ASPCA commercial with Sarah MacLachlan, and loved it. It's rather long, and very touching.

I'm with you Gayle, the talking baby for e-trade cracks me up! Especially with the clown. The whole story is funny to me, but when he says he "underestimated the creepiness" I laugh every darn time!

I also like the public service announcement where the kids all act proud of really stupid choices and it ends with the words "What has weed done for you?" I hear middle school kids talking about it, it reaches at least some of them. My 9 y/o laughed at it the other day, so I asked her to tell me what the message of the commercial is... she didn't know. She wasn't watching for a message, she was just laughing at the dumb kids. I didn't explain it yet, I told her to watch for it again and pay attention to the message, not just the dumb kids. I want her to try to see the message herself, for the message and for seeing what commercials do to viewers. I think she will, we just haven't seen it again yet.

Gayle, I like those too. There are very few that I do like, most are just plain stupid, or boring and some I don't even know what they trying to adverties.

I like some of Geico and some I can't stand. I like one of the latest where the gecko is talking to the CEO and the CEO is talking about the first dollar he made and then is looking for it and the gecko had used it in the snack machine.

I like the new one - I think it is progressive insurance where the girl calls out "discount" after the guy answers each question. it's cute and non-offensive

The Windex commercial linked below cracks me up no matter how many times I view it.

I like the T Mobil Butt call...I just laugh when I see it because it has happened with my son's and daughters phone several times.

If you haven't seen it...try this link...

For some reason I like the new pop-tart commercial, where the cartoon kid does that silly dance. I don't like the reason for the commercial, having pop-tarts as meal. But I still think its cute.

There have been very few commercials that I've liked over the years but there is a fairly new one that's so cute. A sweet looking little girl holding a box of fish sticks and boldly across the top of the picture of the fish is the word minced. The little girl says "WHAT IS THIS? MINCED, YOU'RE FEEDING ME MINCED, HAVE YOU EVER CAUGHT A MINCED FISH?" Sounds so incongruous coming from such a sweet faced little angel.

Oh the mop and boom commercials trying to romance back into the life of a housewife. Especially, the one where the broom appears at the glass door in a towel. Then he drops the towel. Cute.

Can't stand the Progressive commercial. I just don't get it.

I like the soy bar commercial where the soybeans win the war against the candies.

The gecko using the CEO's first dollar to buy chips is another one I like.

DH likes the Aflak duck more than I do.

Often we love a commercial but can't remember the product being advertised. Good for us; bad for the company/ad agency.

I can think of two that I especially like.

The H&R Block one with the one-eyed people. I remember the line "That was a real eye full!"

I also like the cute little girl with the picture of her fish named Dorothy. I don't know what it is advertizing.

I'm still in love with the gecko!

The Capital One Bank, (I think), where the gladiators put their spears on the airport X-ray security line, among other things.

I love the Vikings who go around crashing and breaking stuff. It's Capital One and the guy says, "What's in your wallet?"

My favorite is a Pepsi commercial that just started airing with the Superbowl. It's a re-work of Forever Young ... featuring a mix of Bob Dylan and Will.i.am performing "Forever Young". According to the company the ad contains a "visual collage of iconic images celebrating generations past and present ... "

I love the song that the fella sings on that free credit dot com commercial, they pirate guy. I find myself singing along with him about the tourists in t-shirts and serving seafood!!! I also love the M & M commercials!

Oh, yes, the vikings are a hoot! Those are really big production numbers!

Love the California cows.

Love the Progressive Insurance gal. I am amazed that I don't hate her , but she's so cute.

Anything with cats. One of my favorites has the yellow tabby of the household getting help from the bloodhound to find the litter box. Looks so much like my sweet Joab who departed after 15 years.

I like the one for hulu.com with Alec Baldwin: "TV only softens the brain, like a ripe banana"

I like all the ones you have all mentioned. The one we love (DH makes me replay it on the DVR) is the car commercial with the song "Ground Control to Major Tom", the harmonizing is wonderful. Wish I could buy that version of the song.

`None` is one of those four-letter words, I hear.

TV out in the country is pretty snowy, there are few channels ... and I seldom watch it. 500 channels ... and nuthin` on!

Too frugal to spring for satellite!

(When I do it, it`s ``frugal`` ... when you do it, it`s `cheap`, rightÃ). (That`s a question mark - computer`s new keyboard is not well trained, it appears.)
