I guess I'm not a lover of commercials unless they are funny - check out the Bear - Salmon commercial I posted on another thread - now I think that is hysterical.

I agree and saw the spot. Yes, it was quite funny. I look at a commerical and rate it based on creativity. I guess that is natural coming from a guy with a broadcasting degree. The one's I like best are singing commercials that are not donuts. For those that do not know what a "donut" is, it is a commercial that has copy first, then a local tag, then more copy. In other words, it has a hole in the center. When someone sings a jingle (example from the current era is the Burger King spot with the singing black cowboy) and there is no voice, it shows more crativity and talent than some schmoe standing in front of a camera talking (although not a "schmoe," Paulette Kingston is an example). Some are funny. "ALFAC!"
Another example of a bad commercial is when it is nothing but video and instrumental music and never a mention of the product... Maybe a logo, but no mention of the product. you need voice and then mention your product a minimum of four times in a 30 second spot... Just do not over do it.
Of course, when the sound is turned all the way down, and some clown screams in your ear "OKLAHOMA DISCOUNT FURNITURE!!!!!" THAT bugs me.
