    Blecch...

    I do like the commercials for the Mercury Mountaineer with that really, really cute spokesperson. That cute brunette.

    An ad I can't stand right now: "His drivers license says he's 42 but it's more like 18."

    Ad's I like right now, the Manlaws for Miller Lite. The radio has the best one. "You may not date your friends girlfriend after they have broken up. Unless she's really hot then you have to wait sixth months."

    But the best ads ever are the "Real American Heroes" ads for Bud Light.

    I HATE the commercials with the sudden car crashes they freak me out every time. And I can't believe no one's mentioned:

    The thing that really drives me up the wall is when there's a radio ad that's mildly amusing the first time you hear it and then they repeat it three or four times an hour all day every day for weeks.

    I also liked the ad for Chips Ahoy which featured the cookie at the birthday party:

    COOKIE: So, where's the cake?
    BIRTHDAY GIRL: We're not having cake!
    COOKIE: Oh.
