I'm so glad you posted this! I was going to when I first saw it because I fell in love with her. That brief expression speaks volumes. I rewind and watch it 2 or 3 times every time I come across it. The dog one is almost painful to watch, but I like it too. Dee

I agree with Alisande and others on the car commercials, seeming to promote racing / speeding, what a message to send! :( Personally I can't stand the Progressive commercials; I find them highly annoying, and it's really time for an update. All the white, Flo's make-up, and it's not funny or entertaining at all. Just get them out of here! I do love the Bud commercials. There was especially one (maybe it was for Coke, ha!) during Super Bowl a few years back, where these guys on the road notice a truck that had accidentally left a side door open. They're reaching, trying to get closer, looking like they're trying to grab from the truck. Instead, as the one guy finally gets close enough, he pulls the door shut! Helpful citizen, that's great! Regarding pharmaceutical commercials, on one hand I wish they weren't legal and on the other I think they are useful in informing people that there are actually real, very serious side effects connected to some of them. And I'm not against (legal) drugs, but I'm cautious. But one time I literally thought one commercial was a comedy-show parody and not for real (I came into the room while hubby was watching, didn't know it was a commercial break). The list of side effects was so horrific I thought it was funny, thinking *they* (the comedians) really got the point across well. "If you have anxiety, would you not rather be deeply depressed and suicidal, and most likely dead before the week is over???" Then it turned out to be a real commercial for a real drug! I have a hard time understanding why anyone, after hearing that list, would want to even entertain the thought of using that specific drug. It was so over the line I can't believe this drug ever was approved, but that's a different topic. It was just jaw dropping, though.

As we live in the land of ice and snow, and at the end of a mile long, private (not exclusive, just meaning the town doesn't maintain it, residents do), one lane dirt road, so at least one AWD vehicle is a must for us, and Subaru is our vehicle of choice. Right now I have an Outback V6, in the past I've had a 4 cylinder Outback and their larger SUV Tribeca, which was my fav car ever, but the gas mileage, yikes, the Outback is much better. If you are going Subaru I'd go with the largest engine, much better pick up and, per my mechanic, better overall because AWD vehicles are heavy and the V6 engine doesn't have to work as hard to pull the weight of the vehicle. My daughter has a 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid that we bought new, and while the mileage and fit and finish is very good, my 2004 (yep) Outback with 204k rides better even now than the Civic brand new, IMO anyway. Hondas have a well deserved reputation for being reliable and good in accidents, but they are not the best riding cars and yes, they are tight, the Subaru feels much more spacious in the cab. YMMV, of course, just my perspective, I am 5'9" and my DH is over 6'2" and a big guy, he barely fits in the Honda, but the Outback is no problem.

I saw one yesterday that involved a cat. The Barkleys are looking out the window and see a cat walking on their car. They start barking, but that doesn't phase the cat...I'll say no more as I don't want to be a spoiler.
