I loved Shards O'Glass as well - that and the one Monster commercial where the exec and the potential hire have similar morning rituals were pretty good. But I found the AOL Topspeed commercials to be kind of too much like those "Ratchet & Clank" (I think those are the ones) commercials for the video game, with Tractor Beam, etc. But those guys are still a riot.

the one with the wife yelling at the ref/husband plays right into that "women are horrible hags you have to live with AND they make you do all the work AND you're an idiot myth" that my future husband wrote so eloquently about a few months back, See Male Pattern Self Absorbtion on 1115.org. the commerical made me want to boycott budweiser, but that would just be silly.

Except for Frito-Lay and the AOL spots (American Chopper RULES) I thought they were terrible, honestly. I had a very visceral, negative reaction to the Pepsi/iTunes ad, which I pirated and retitled "I Fought The Lie" for my video blog, fyi: http://www.tim-hall.com/vogner/archives/00000185.html

Shards o' glass rocked. Thought the masses in the USA Today poll thought it was one of the worst ones out there. Also liked FedEx and Pepsi Bears- Bud spots were just a little too predictable, though I did laugh at the preppy guy getting chomped on.

The horse farting ad is one of the most pathetic, tasteless ads I've ever seen.

fedex's "alien" was hilarious. i also liked the monster.com "today's the day" campaign as a whole.
