These Were My Winners of the Commercial Bowl

I simply loved these ads. Remembering that the elements of comedy are surprise, exaggeration and reversal, I'll tell you they both have it all. Note that the baby is using a webcam. [They grow up so fast!] Knowing my child, that's not too much of a stretch.



And the twin ad for E*Trade:


And, yes! Clowns are creepy.

Mine, too.

I thought the ads this year were fairly uninspired. The Bud ad with the Clydesdale and Dalmatian was cute. The Bridgestone ad with the guy swerving to avoid a deer, Alice Cooper, and Richard Simmons was amusing. The FedEx giant pigeons spot got a chuckle.

That's about it.
