But I do believe something happened in this year's game of marketers that will have significant and lasting effects. Imagine, a commercial made for the reported cost of $12.00 ranked as one of the "best" commercials in the game. I believe that spot will not escape the attention of folks writing the checks for those million dollar production budgets. Particularly those in charge at the automakers that are bleeding red ink.

All had great music and the old guy was inspiring. There were 3 Coke ads which stood out: Happiness, Grand Theft Auto and the old guy.

I have to say my favorite was the Letterman/Oprah promo, which likely fell flat to younger viewers. But I give credit to K-Fed for pulling off a clever spot. The guy wasn't bad. Yes, the Doritos spot was good, and Careerbuilder.com should have stuck with the monkeys. I, too was underwhelmed.

The worst, by a mile, was the one with the shirtless guys grinding up on the Chevy full of girls. Seriously, what the hell? I'm surprised the tagline wasn't "Chevy: It's practically gang-rape."

The biggest laugh was probably the Robert Goulet spot, it was giddy and goofy but just not very memorable. Click on the "AC" above this post to see something much funnier than those stale commericials. Honestly, none of the commericals wowed me.
