I liked that one too. Its even funnier if you've ever had to interview someone who had a stain on their shirt / tie.

For some reason, the Gatorade "Man's best friend" commercial really cracked me up.
I definitely got a kick out of the talking baby in the eTrade commercials, too.

I laughed my ass off at the second eTrade baby one, when the baby said he hired a clown. Pure gold! Also, Im surprised no one's mentioned the Doritos one when the giant mouse rips right through the wall and beats the crap out of the guy. So unexpected, that was awesome! Over-all, I thought after a couple years of subpar commercials, this year's batch was much better. I was very pleased with the SB ads this year (and I can see the phrase "Goin on a cheese run" workin its way into list of my TV-influenced phrases)
PS- Danica Patrick's cute, but am I the only one that doesn't think she's actually hot? She's cute in a decent-looking female athlete kind of way, but not in a "model in the GoDaddy.com commercials" way.

I thought the E-trade commercials were hilarious, especially the second one. Definitely my favourite.
I really liked the commercial with Charles Barkley too. I thought that was really funny.

I agree, that was my favourite.
I think this was one of the better years overall for commercials, since there were quite a few that were really good. On the flipside, is that I felt there were no truly amazing ones. The last few years had one or two real gems.

The worst commercials, far and away, were those ones for salesgenie.com.

Yep, the next time I need 100 sales leads; I'll know where to go.
Compare that to the screaming squirrel, how many remember what company that ad was for? Sure made me laugh, but do I remember the company? (OK, I do. But how many of us do?)

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the preview to Iron Man which looked pretty cool.

well besides the fact that the Panda salesgenie commercial was terribly offensive.
I liked the Under Armour one.

You mean there aren't Panda's named Ling Ling!? 
Looks like it was done on purpose to be the worst commercial.
