That's original, and funny!

Wow. That's depressing. Neat, though.

Head-On Annoyance



Annoying, but it really makes you remember the product name. Not like it wasn't easy to remember to begin with...

All-Bran's Graphic Messaging



If you don't understand, just watch it a few times. You'll catch on eventually. Clever.

Dairy Queen's Safe Brownies



I love this commercial. Original, and the guy sells it well. It also looks very, very painful. Good job.

50th Post Special



The 50th post! To celebrate, I bring you the legendary meow mix commercial. Everyone knows this commercial; if you don't, you've been living under a rock. I was a child when this was on television, and I thought it was great. I still do.

10/10 (A legend!)

LG's Creepy Stalker Guy



Yeah... I don't really need to say anything.

8/10 (Rated on the CREEPINESS SCALE!)

Starburst Creepiness



Alright, I find this horribly stupid but amazingly funny at the same time. The guy is creepy; creepy enough that I would've just thrown the candy at him then escaped. Uhhh... Good job! I think.

@%$#-Off Bam



So, when exactly did being stupid and unpleasant start making people buy things? This is one of the more annoying commercials I've seen.

3/10 (I give it a mercy-three, because I find it hilarious that someone out there actually believed that this would be a good idea.)

Hello Kitty's MMORPG



Dancing robots are awesome!

8/10 (Very original in a funny and non-annoying way.)

Bud's Swear Jar



Great commercial, and original too. We've all heard of swear jars, and probably seen them on television, but this is just abusing the idea in a hilarious way. It's the type of commercial that catches your attention without some annoying bad actor, jingle, or moron in a costume. Excellent!

NHL Road Trip



I love this commercial. A bunch of hockey stars making fools out of themselves in a tasteful way. They play up the whole television-created Ovechkin vs Crosby rivalry well, and Thornton's reaction when he's caught stealing the food is great. Great commercial.

Captain Morgan's Televison Bar



Wee, another fun and coordinated commercial. Good acting, good set up, and good idea all around. Of course, any guy in real life would be dead meat, but that'd be just as funny, I'm sure, for the people watching. Good stuff.

ScamWow!



You know you've made it in the business world when you get your own commercial filled with terribly obvious camera tricks, while you wear an ugly shirt, and an unnecessary microphone; and all to advertise... a towel. Seriously though, it's a towel. Not only are the demonstrations blatantly fake, but so is their reasoning to actually own one. And again... it's a towel.

2/10 (It's a towel!!! I'm giving a generous two, because the jackassery in this ad made me laugh.)

Bud Light's Bad Dog!



Bud Light does it again. It's nice to see such good commercials coming from a single company. This is a good example of advertisement greatness. Everybody likes to see the cocky person get what's coming to him or her in the end; especially in such a harsh and painful way.

Stride's continued attack upon customers...



Stride is back with more hilarious randomness. Though I'm not liking this much as the ram version, this is still funny, in my opinion. Commercials work the best when a company does something nobody expects, and this is what Stride does here, as well as in their last commercial.

Mr Sub's Stavros! Nooooooooooooo!



I love this commercial. It makes me feel bad in a way too. Not enough to avoid eating any form of chicken sandwich, though. Good stuff! Kind of risky too, with some organizations out there that viciously attack stuff like this. And let's not forget that it is risky to put your customers through a potential guilt trip. ;)

DQ's Flaming Commercial



Good stuff, pretty original as well. The actors do a good job putting their fear and shock across as real, and make it funny as a result.

Toyota's Badger Badger Badger



This is awesome. Ferocious animals amuse me, obviously. Good and original. This just confirms that cellphones are evil, though, and actually do lead to automobile-related accidents.

Red Bull...



Yeah, I hate Red Bull ads. There's no real humor, they do not look nice at all, and the gimmick is terrible. I'm not even going to bother talking about this anymore; it annoys me that much.

1/10 (Get a real ad campaign!!!)

Molson Canadian Meat



Imagine, finding meat!

Yeah, okay, that's a bit odd, but it made me laugh just because it was so random and nonsensical. Beer commercials have been getting mainly solid 8 out of 10's here, but I'm afraid that this one doesn't bring enough to the table to score that high.

Herbal Essences Biker



Nothing like putting a new twist on a new gimmick to break free from the chains of mediocrity. Herbal Essences ads were quickly becoming very repetitive and annoying to me, then all of a sudden, they come out with this. Creepy, but hilarious.

Bud Lite Defender, Walter



Bud Lite brings us the killer squirrel, Walter, who defends his pal's Bud Lite. I love it, and I love the bashing of the forehead with the acorn. Small, fluffy animal attacks work, especially when they're over-exaggerated.

Clinton Voodoo



Yeah, good commercial. Seeing someone who once had power and influence and still does to some extent making a fool out of themselves on purpose is pretty cool. The end of the commercial looks extraordinarily painful though, so I'm just gonna stop here.

Rich Chocolate Ovaltine Hot! OMG!



Wow! Did you hear that? Ovaltine is rich, chocolaty, and nutritious! And it's made with milk so it's creamy! Anyone else find it looks like she's mixing cement? No thanks. Bad actors all around here.

She looks like a psycho when she asks if they want it. Freaky.

1/10 (Ha ha... yeah, no.)

Gillette and the WWE



Rich businessman + Chair shot = Good commercial.

What I like about Vince McMahon is that he's rich but he isn't afraid to go out night after night on his show and embarrass himself, much like he's doing in this commercial. I like how McMahon hogs the camera, and Cena has to peak over his shoulder. Good stuff.

Good stuff. The guy is kinda creepy and does the role well. I think we learned to dance at the same school.

Jeep's Wolf



I like this commercial. Randomness, and an angry, vicious animal. Jeep not only teaches us that wolves are not cuddly, but they also teach us a very important life lesson: Revenge is fun!
