Hah, I remember that one fondly. They even made a remake using 3D graphics due to the popularity of Reboot at the time, though the graphics were so bad that it didn't last long on the air before being pulled.

don't forget those Double Mint gum ads with the Double Mint Twins. Ugh!
I remember those; the robot was suddenly also from "Planet Danger."
have you guys seen the new Geico one with the pig? WHEEEEEEE!!!!
Yep. Love it. If the woman had run over Flo on the way home it would have been perfect.
I really like the Randy Johnson snowball fight as well.
Oh, some of those Doublemint twins (like Katey Sagal's baby sisters Liz and Jean) were cute.
Yeah, the twins were cute but the ad itself was annoying.
I always thought that they put an awful lot of effort into that commercial just to make a simple message.
Here's an odd commercial...

It's about the Yellow Pages app, but I'm always distracted by everything else from how uncomfortable it must be to be constantly oily, to how he keeps his iphone clean, to whether or not he's paid for the oil he's drenching himself with, to whether or not he'll smell like vinegar after the salad bar. I'm thinking about everything but the app.

Yeah, I was going to mention that one. It's certainly an odd one and I don't really get what the purpose of all that oil is. In the sense that he's using so many different sources. It makes it gross.
"Wow! Look at the graphics!"
I also like how the commercial points out that your parents help you hook the system up, as if that was a concern people were having when buying one. Also, I was the one to hook the thing up when I was a kid.
Or why he needs an app on his phone to tell him how to find a gas-station or a salad bar to find oil. Seems to me like that's the kind of thing that you could find on your own fairly easily. And was the guy supposed to be good looking?
The thing that gets me is the salad bar. If a guy were to do that in a restaurant, the restaurant would become a health concern. Then the restaurant would get closed down all due to the Yellow Pages. That's not very conducive to their cause is it?
In addition to all that's been said, one can wonder how Randy finds work looking like a 1970's pimp completely covered in oil.
Those Miller High Life "Delivery Guys" commercials are also way up on the list of retarded idiotic commercials.
Especially given how crappy a beer it is...

On the flip side? Best commercials ever? The Miller Light Real Men of Genius commercials.
that commercial for M.Night's new flick. Im sick of the lady screaming "tuuurn the light oofff!!!"
There's a new McDonald's commercial with an all black cast, singing R&B about the newest McDonald sandwich.
It drives me up the wall for the simple fact that it is completely geared toward one demographic blatantly. I have no love for R&B and will not try the new sandwich.
(Waits to be flamed on for being "racist")
