The Gecko commercials are fun. The ones with Charo, Little Richard and Burt Whatsisname are creepy. I think my most hated commercial is the one with the Burger King with the plastic head. I used to hit Burger King for lunch several times a month, but I haven't set foot in one since they started running those commercials. The part that really bugged me was when they tried to turn it into a viral marketing campaign. Burger King had people emailing help columnists asking where they could get a Burger King "King" costume for Halloween.

Damn! Are you, me? !!!!!!

Yeah, but also in Colorado are the Frontier airline ads - I think the radio ads are a lot funnier and more inventive than the TV ones.

Is it just my imagination, or is the song that plays in that ad "Makin' Whoopee?"

We love the subs!!!

'Cause they are good to us!!!

They are tasty, they are crunchy, they are warm because they toast them!!!

They got a pepper bar!!!

FYI

The Doublemint Twins are back.

Buddy and Bobo is the best.

Head On, for sure is the worst...way expensive at Walgreens.

Any commercial that has a doorbell ring, always sounding just like mine, just sucks big time!

And the Cox Cable animated guy just won't go away.

Well, I'm grateful for the mute button. Remember when we had to get up and walk over to the TV to change channels (and most probably antenna position)?

No, not those freaky things.... I'm talking about the new Quiznos ad that just started a couple weeks ago.

The CINGULAR commercial with the Mom and Daughter going through a reverse argument is quite witty.

That ad is one of my least favorite. Really turns me off Cingular.

I don't think they used the same ad agency. Quaker Oat Man is only a little less disturbing than Burger King, but that could change if Mr. QOM ever moves.
