My favorite, since I'm a Mac user, is the 1984 Mac commercial. It was the commercial that started the idea of the big budget commercial. It was directed by Ridley Scott, of all people, and has been voted repeatedly the one of the best of all time.

The Budwieser commericials with the iguana's were always funny, and the Mountian Dew ads were something to look forward to. I also miss the Derito's girl. She was in her own level of hotness. That one where she sets off the sprinklers in the library is probably my favorite.

Oh, also the one for tabasco sauce where the masquito sucks the guys blood and then explodes 3 seconds later and they laugh and wait for the next one. Brilliant.

The commericials last year sucked.

The Mastercard Mac Gyver one looks like a classic.

That was funny. Though it's weird seeing MacGyver looks so old. I watch the reruns on Korean tv all the time.

game has been so-so. Seattle should be up a bunch but has been shooting themselves in the foot, though the offensive pass int on the td was bad call.

Anybody notice how the stones got censored on "start me up"?

commercials have benn so-so too

lets hope the second half is better
