Let here some commercials you like (if any)....

I usually hate the ads, but some are admittedly quite clever....

- One where a guy is sitting in a car with the car dealer, using all these hand gestures while telling the dealer he wants the car, but has to make it look to his wife that he is really grilling for the best deal.

- a "know when to draw the line" commercial(Canadian commercial paid for by a think Molson, reminding people to drink responsibly). A guy is watching a VCR movie with his girlfriend, where the tape was recorded over with scenes of the guy drunk with strippers or something, bitching about the girlfriend.....

- and for some reason,, I like most informercials.

I like the Q-Ray one because of how they say it is based on 'ancient health techniques, used for centuries' <-- wtf? What ancient health techniques, practiced by who for centuries?

Ronco got some good ones,,,, 'set it and forget it'.....
For these informercials, I have an odd respect for the skills it must require to talk about these piece of shit products for the who hour. How they'll mention the benefits of the products that they really don't need to mention (ie. This broom fits in any closet! This car wax fits easily into your trunk, and makes for easy storage in your garage!).

One of the best is for "Smart Spin" (which holds storage containers). In the commercial, they show how easy it is to find a container with Smart Spin, with a blindfolded woman reaching into her cupboard, and 'easily' finding the right container...

Let's here em...
