Advertisers have certainly ran the gamut of taste this year with their offering of television ads. I don't want to induce nausia by bringing up the plethera of underwear splatter that inindated our air waves. Lets just say the worst ad award goes to "Go Daddy.com" for treating their customers like cavemen. Their ads depict a now WWE "Diva" performing an impromptu strip tease at a congressional hearing type conference. Gimme a break! Thank god Sergey Brin and Larry Page, founders of the number one search engine "Google" don't need to stoop as low as Bob Parsons
Now lets get on with my picks for the best television ads for 2005. These are all from www.ifilm.com
All of these open in Windows Media Player,
Anheuser Busch-Bud Light: Cedric the Entertainer
CareerBuilder.com: Monkey Business
CareerBuilder.com: More Monkey Business
CareerBuilder.com: Kissing Monkey Butt
Visa: Can Superheroes Help?
Quizno's: Talking Baby
Pizza Hut: It's the Muppet Show

These Canadian Ads are from www.canada4life.ca/videos.php and are in .mmv format.
Molson- Do you really want to hurt me?
Molson-Pet Beaver
From http://www.advertisementave.com
Federal Express-Castaway
Mastercard-Speding Quality Time with Your Family -Featuring Homer Simpson
Apple-Flight with Verne and Yao
Budweiser-What's Up - Outer Space
As far as some of my favourite new ones, at the top of the list has to be that new Geico commercial with Tony Little pretending to advertise his exercise machine. The
"I just saved a ton of money on my auto insurance by switching to Geico... YOU CAN DO IT!!"
The only thing better is if they got Susan Powter to poke fun of her ads from the eighties, the ones in which she screams "Stop the Insanity!".
Later,
