Okay. I was just reminded of another commercial that I really love. The H&R Block Tax cut software commercial where the husband says "We're being audited." The wife says "Maybe we should call the people who did our taxes. Oh, we didn't use people. We used a box."

We use Tax Cut. Mainly because we don't own any property and our taxes are easy enough to do. H&R Block and other preparers charge an arm and a leg now for the simplest forms. I want to keep as much money as I can

I like the cookie one too where they're in the car and disappear one by one. Almost makes me feel bad for eating cookies. Almost.

I'm sure a lot of people won't agree with me, but I love the Jenny McCarthy commercial for Weight Watchers. "I was hoping I had a 60 pound baby"

I don't know if "love" is the right word for how this commercial makes me feel, but I stop whatever I'm doing and watch whenever it comes on. It's the Pedigree dog food Adoption Drive commercial where they show the dogs in their cages at a shelter. The narrator says, "I know how to sit, how to fetch, and how to roll over. What I don't know is, how I ended up... in here. But, I know that I am a good dog, and I just want to go home." They go on to say that when you buy Pedigree dog food they make a donation to help shelter dogs find homes. I get a little teary every time I see it.

I do love their catch phrase though, "Dogs Rule."

Marley, that's the one I mentioned a page or 2 back.
Oh that commercial STILL gets me every time *sniff*
They couldn't have picked anyone better to voice it.

Damn you, ClosetNerd. I've never seen that commercial before but it sure gets you in the heart, doesn't it.

I like both of these cell phone commercials too.
