    If you advertise your website (especially when you don't even describe your company but just say "visit the website"), make sure your servers can handle the load of hits you'll get.

    ahem...mlife.com...ugh

    :rolleyes:

    The Smirnoff Ice ad left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't drink it either way, but the "black guys being offended by white guys in their video" angle struck me as pretty stupid.

    I kinda thought that was funny mainly because the two white guys looked so hilariously stupid.

    My favorite, no doubt, was the Brisk puppet revolt ad. That puppet of Jackie Childs with Pat O'Brien interviewing him was unreal. :)

    I thought the Brisk one was good as well and I also liked the new twist on the old Bud ad. I missed the Smirnoff Ice ad. can some post a link to it (since adcritic is dead:( )

    I liked the Jack-In-The-Box spoof of the Terry Bradshaw commercials with the floating dollar.

    Hey Pepsi...your commercial sucked!

    I also liked the hotjobs.com commercial with the lady apparently applying for the court reporter position. I didn't catch this one until after it was over.

    I'm ashamed to be a customer of AT&T Wireless. Those mlife commercials sucked.

    I kept saying WTF over and over...
