Just curious...I see some that are so bad you wonder why they are even showing them. Then there are the ones that you laugh at every time.....

The Quiznos commercials with the singing rats. I don't think I'll ever eat at Quiznos again!

The Quizzno's Subs commercials with those terrifying yet oddly mesmerizing hamster thingys. Great Stuff! Any of the identity theft commercials! The ones I hate (odd I guess because I'm a guy) is any commercial featuring Jessica Simpson... Yeh, she's good looking, but there's NOTHING going on in her head... Seriously! I hate the IT commercial that starts with the annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP With the computer screen flashing ALERT in red letters.

I loved the Sprint (at least I think it was Spring) commercials they used to air where people misunderstood the caller. My favorite was the 200 dachsunds instead of 200 oxen. That one always cracked me up!

Gatorade and Nike are always putting out good commercials.
Remember the Nike one where the guy was running, and another guy keeps running next to him with a radio blasting "Eye of the Tiger?"
He pushes the annoying guy with the radio over and then feels bad and helps him up and the screen flashes a line to the effect of "Nike, we love sport"
Or the Gatorade ones where the people are sweating in flourescent colors while fighting through utter exhaustion in various sports-related activities are always good. Not funny, but they sure make me want to drink Gatorade when I go to the gym. I'm too cheap though, I stick with tap water.

My favorite current commercial is the one for Starbucks where Survivor is following a guy around at work singing Eye of the Tiger changed just enough to talk about the average office worker at work. The best part is how fat and old Survivor is singing...

Agree with Poopzilla, the ID theft commercials are very catchy.
My old time favorite though, the Hamm's Beer Bear commercials with the skating bears! Loved thoses & still remember many of them. "From the land of sky blue waters la la --
I hate the Dodge hemi(?) commercial & the audio that goes with it -- I'd ride the bus before I would drive one of those. Course I had a dodge parked in my driveway until a couple of weeks ago and it had glass pipes, how humiliating!! (Kid still there but another truck.)

I loved the cat-herding cowboy, too! Another favorite campaign would be the Budweiser Clydesdales (I especially loved the "Respect" commercial after 9/11). They've obviously been having fun with the addition of the "Budweiser Donkey" this year.
I abhor the terribly personal products commercials - whether they be aimed at women's needs or at the gentlemen. I guess they need to create awareness to sell more product, but sometimes their timing couldn't be worse! It never fails that when my mother-in-law has appeared, one of "those" commercials will come on and she feels the need to share . . . it's TMI for sure!!!!

Love the Serta sheep - and I'll never forget Clara, the "Where's the BEEF?!?!?!" lady on the Wendy's commercials about 8 decades ago

the Super Bowl commercial with the cowboy herding cats!
EDS
That's right it was EDS. When it aired it didn't matter WHOS commercial it was, the seriousness of the cowboy about how difficult herding cats was cracked me up, and they were cute!

The worst is the "Fanta" commercials. I first saw one in the theater. I hate that regular commercials have not entered the theater.
