    I recently watched a Russel Brand podcast regarding commercials, the Coke one among them - how much thought, money, talent, all of these resources, to prey on emotions in order to sell a brown sugary liquid. Same with McDonald’s, so many others.

    Sorry for derailing - I don’t have any favorites of that genre ;)

    The new Hershey Kiss commercial where the kid interrupts the classic commercial needs to be flushed down the toilet.  

    Anyone remember Folgers ad where Peter arrives home and wakes up his family?  Havent seen that in a few years.

    I hear you, Hedo. I'm looking at them more from an artistic (kind of short movies) perspective.

    I hear YOU! Some are nostalgic too, like the Fruity Pebbles one posted above.

    Yet another reason I don't watch TV.  NO commercials!  :smiley:

    Somehow I missed this this thread. There is only one xmas commercial that stands out.  Its coca cola.  Id like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
