Snickers Gives You Nuts
Remember the days when Snickers just satisfied? Yeah, well, those days are over. Now, Snickers doesn’t satisfy: it transforms you from a soccer-playing sissy into the tank driving king of badass-ery, Mr. T. That's right, kids. If you need courage, strength, and nuts, quit yo jibba-jabba and grab a Snickers.

Office 2007: A New Day
I don't often say this about Microsoft products, but this new Office 2007 commercial is pretty cool. With a British narrator and a tone reminiscent of Stranger than Fiction, this ad reminds all us office drones that the right piece of software makes all the difference. It almost makes me wish that Office 2007 was a good tool for my needs. Almost.

AppleTV Knows Our Jack Black Weakness
It's a stretch to say this commercial for the AppleTV box is one of the best commercials I've seen recently. In fact, it's a stretch to say that it's great at all.
So why is it I keep watching and rewatching it? Simple enough. While the commercial itself isn't particularly revolutionary, watching Jack Black teach children to rock is point-blank awesome.

Chuck Norris Gets His Vengeance
This commercial may be a few months old, but as a cautionary tale it's timeless. Some may choose to believe that this Mountain Dew spot warns viewers against doing video parodies of celebrities. However, the real message is that video parody is only dangerous when the subject of your parody has a mean roundhouse kick.
It's nice to know that Chuck Norris has a sense of humor about his new cult status, but I secretly suspect that behind his good-natured demeanor, the man within is not laughing. Don't screw with Walker, Texas Ranger, kids. No one's roundhouse kick is more mean than Chuck Norris's.
