Did anyone else think that commercial with the upside down clown in the bar was extremely distasteful? I realize it would no doubt generate some cheap laughs but it creeped me out.

My favourite was the zebra and the horses.

Well, I admit I have a distasteful sense of humor at times...I thought it was very funny!

I liked the zebra one, too.

Wink, I have to admit (because I already did...hehe) that I loved the clown commercial. Poor taste? Not any worse than 2/3 of the other commercials on TV (Herbal Essence, for example), but much funnier and not at all annoying if you see it repeatedly. I absolutely laughed my butt off at the end when he asked for a hot dog and the bartender said, "I don't think so". :)

Upside-down clown was my favorite.

I thought the FedEx take-off on the movie "Castaway" was far and away the cleverest commercial. It was a great example of the use of irony.

Yet, very few experts, media critics, or polls rated the FedEx commercial very highly.

Maybe it was on too early...while people were getting the guacamole and chips arranged in front of the TV.
