The one with the Pinata Man is more or less their current commercial. I usually see it a couple of times every evening. The one with the singing bunny also used to be shown quite frequently, probably a year or two ago.

They ussed to show [Midas Touch](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp0WBiME_fM) a lot recently which I loved. That Pinata Man one creeps me out though.

I love the Pinata Man commercial. It’s so poignant when he yells “I’m just like everyone else!”
