My favorites are “h-o-t-w-i-r-e – hotwire.com” – that’s catchy.

The other one is the freecreditreport.com guys – in the seafood restaurant, driving the used sub-compact, at the Renaissance fair, and living in the basement at her mom and dad’s.

Right now, I like these. The FTC launched them specifically to combat the freecreditreport dot com commercials.

Seconded freecreditreport. “F to the r to the e to the e…” (I like that one.)
I also liked the Goldfish commercial. I doubt it’s on anymore. I memorized the song in the 8th or 9th grade. “Here’s our jingle for goldfish, wrote a song for goldfish. The wholesome snack that smiles back until you bite their heads off…”

Edit: Those new Comcast ones are weird. Do not like.

I LOVE the COMCAST ones! I would have posted that sooner but I couldn’t think of the name!

It’s true they’re made with real cheese, these baked and not fried fishies…

I was gonna say FreeCreditReport.com commercials! The iPod/Apple commercials have had a good deal of good music too… the Ting Tings, Fiest (who I sometimes like, sometimes don’t), Prototypes, Bob Dylan, Mary J. Blige, Stereogram, The Vines, Wolfmother, Cut Chemist, CSS, Brendan Benson, the Fratellis, The Submarines, the Bird and the Bee…. the list goes on and on. Those commercials are such a vehicle for some of those artists who aren’t quite as established.

Ground control to Major Tom…
