Flatulent Horse all the way

The soap kids is a close second. Overall, the commercials have been a little lame.

HAHAHAHA!

The racecar - wrong lipstick comercial just moved to the top for me.

I just realized why beer comercials are the best - they don't try to sell a product, just a random hilarious situation.

The Budweiser one with the referee being yelled at by the coach and the announcer asks "Where did he learn to take such abuse?" and they cut away to him at home and his wife is yelling at him nonstop.

I thought that was good.

Pretty weak crop of commercials... I guess the best so far is donkey.

The worst is the AOL and Orange County Choppers set of commercials... just awful!

I liked the soap-in-the-mouth Chevrolet commercial the most. Cool product, good commercial.

The lipstick one was good too. So was the referee one.

I didn't get the donkey or the monkey commercial.

But overall it was a weak crop, yup.

I liked the Budweiser one with the dogs. Ouch!

Wrong lipstick was pretty funny, too. And the AOL ads - yeah, I know, but the Back to the Future one was pretty funny. The referee ad was hilarious.

I think my favorite was the Staples one where they had to bribe the office supply guys with donuts, though.

we had a great one in canada (we, unfortunately, don't get the great commercials that you americans do) for a labatts blue.
basically, two of the most gorgeous women i've ever seen before, kissing to share lip gloss.
incredible.

Really?!! Those were my favorite followed by the soap in the mouth commercial by Chevy and the farting horse by Budweiser.

Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

i love orange county choppers on tv, but those commercials did seem to soften their image.

i too didn't like them, but i am not the overall audience either so maybe they hit their target audience of more kids or something.

i still love OCC

While not a great commercial, the Ford GT spot had me chuckle when, instead of the normal disclaimer, it read: Clearly a professional driver on a closed track.



The ad can be found here.
