LOVED the video! It sounds like the USCCB could use a Formationator like Deacon Payne! :)

How can the etrade baby not be on the list? Funniest super bowl ads ever.

The EDS ad is beautiful.

I confess I go back to youtube every now and then and listen to it. I suppose it is the iconic music and ‘open plains’ stuff – brings tears to my eyes.

The pet shop ad where a couple animals were trying figure out how to use a mouse, with a real mouse, was pretty good as well. I’m not sure, but I think that was an Apple ad as well.

My favorite was when the entire Pepsi cooler emptied out on the floor as the Coke guy tried to “sneak” one out.

They made a whole series of them, for anyone willing to look around.
