The badgers in the Corolla was not awful.

The 42 year old paper boy gave me pause.

Too bad that computer doesn't have much it can do. It has no CD-ROM or DVD drive, for instance.

I just went over to budweiser.com, in hopes of finding a still photo of the dog and the horse. No luck. If anybody spots -- no pun intended -- an on-line photo that I can save, please let me know where. I would be grateful beyond measure.

Thank you very much, Bob.

I had found the commercial, but I couldn't find a way to save a single image from the video.

Very nice!

And now a question. Are the horse and dog supposed to be doing a high five there, or is it the more modern and trendy fist bump?

They called it "a high five" in Lizbit's puppy class. I do not know if the horse and the dog are more modern and more trendy than Lizbit's 20-something instructor. (He might have been old-fashioned for his age.)

I had a little problem with the Corolla ad.

Don't you want to be able to hear sounds from outside your car? I mean quiet is good when it eliminates road noise and stuff like that but there are some sounds that you should be able to hear. Sounds that would seem to be less loud than cannons going off.

Like horns, sirens, your muffler dragging along behind you, the desperate pleas from the person stuck under your grill?

OK, maybe not.

That sucks.

Not exactly an ad, but were all those RoboFootball players just part of the promotion for the new Terminator series?

Fox has long used a robofootball player in its football pregame shows. I think the terminator aspect was just added to help promote the new terminator show.

Endlessly.

I thought the Sales Genie ads were awful, especially the ones with the pandas.

Kinda liked the 2 Bridgestone commercials with the screaming squirrel and the screaming Richard Simmons. And Alice Cooper. Can't forget Alice Cooper.

Would have been even better if there had been a little wet spot on the road when the squirrel ran away...

The talking stain was good. Sounded like Brian Regan. The stain I mean.

I wasn't paying real close attention (the Pats were making me nuts), so I didn't see or get the gist of a lot of them.

The only one to make me laugh out loud was the e-trade one with the spit up (the clown one got a chuckle from me). I normally despise anything to do with human babies, especially talking babies, but I loved these. The guys voice plus his chosen vocabulary and inflections just sold it.

For the sap in me, I loved the Chester Pitts one. I was sad that I only saw it once and, since it was an NFL one, it probably won't be shown again.
