I was hoping they would do a time-lapse and reveal Cookie Monster had forgotten to turn the oven on. 😃 I saw an ad this morning that I kind of like. A bearded man is putting on lipstick and dressing as a princess, then he joins his daughter and her friends at a princess party. The daughter runs and gives him a big hug. :o excuse me, I’ve got something in my eye. ---

> [@dougie\_monty](#): > > Well, he knew that she would know that this was Daddy, beard and all, in the “fairy” getup. but he wasn’t ‘kidding’ - he was doing something must ‘men’ or ‘fathers’ won’t - playing dressup with his daughter.

I have yet to tire of the the AT&T ads with Lily or the DirecTV ads with the settlers. ---

I don’t mind that much as long as I can choose which ones. I personally have nothing against the make–my cousin used to drive one. 🙂 ---

An Oldie, but still a Goodie. And it gets its message across without any narration or dialogue: What makes it even better is knowing that it was inspired by one of my all-time favorite characters: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujh_bTaXI94) ---

For some reason I find compelling the new Apple ad where Taylor Swift does a face plant off her treadmill while along to some downloaded music. ---

This oldie doesn’t play anymore but this is one of my all-time favorite commercials. [Yeah, I felt sorry for the lamp.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEBV1TUfxXM) It taught me a very valuable lesson: How easily I can be manipulated. ---

My latest: The one where the dogs are hiding to not have to take their heartworm meds. A Dalmation with a lampshade over his head is good stuff any day of the week. Also the one where the mom and dad are inventing reasons to not call the insurance company - “These leaves aren’t going to rake themselves!” ---

> [@Barking\_Dog](#): > > I kind of like that one too, but solely for the expression on the chimp’s little face. That look of genuine puzzlement/“I don’t want to get involved in this” is so human it’s absolutely priceless. GOD I HATE THAT IDIOTIC COMMERCIAL. about the stupidest waste of time ever, and I HATE CHIMPS. They will tear your face off, you know! And they’re shit at giving directions to ugly humans. ---
