Other XL things.

(check out godaddy.com to see the whole saga that they went through for their commercial and some "exclusive" web clips)

McGuyver Rocks!!! Loved how he went to the store afterward to restock. :lol:

Was anybody else disturbed by the Hummer 3 commercial?? Somebody saw one too many Johnny Socko episodes when they were kids--it was just WRONG!!

Ali:

V for Vendetta is a movie adaptation of a very critically acclaimed graphic novel by Alan Moore. It is, IMHO, very timely, as it speaks to the impact of the forfeiture of freedoms and the growth of a facist state in Britian.

If well done, it will create a significant amount of discussion, as the main character could, depending upon your point of view, be deemed a terrorist or a freedom figher....

Maybe it is just my sick sense of humor but I was a big fan of the Spring commercial where the guy threw the phone at the other guy twice in the face.

It had me laughing pretty good at the time.

My wife and I looked at each other and rolled up our eyes knowing that the Hummer 3 ad was sooooo stupid.

I join the line saying McGuyer rocks! He still rocks in Stargate SG:1, yet he did a heckuva job in MacGuyver!

Did anyone see the extended version of that commercial on RAW monday night?

Asking this question is admission to my viewing of professional wrestling, I know, but it was my roommates that have dragged me into it :oops:

I forgot about that one. That was real good too.

Either they spent all their money on Miller Field or they let their product speak for itself. Not that I would know personally since im not 21... :D

My favorites...

Crime-deterant cell phone

ESPN to go commercials, they were awesome.

Ameriquest commercial don't judge too quickly (the one where the guy kills the fly with the Defibrilator and states "Well that killed him", just as the wife and daughter walk in.

Shaq crying over Desperate Housewives. (Two lies occured in this one. Shaq Crying and Shaq making a free throw.)

I wish they would bring back Terry Tate, the office linebacker.
