    This doesn't get on my nerves but what the hell is it?

    Mainly, Frankenstein's monster comes to town square and starts singing a Christmas carol (him sticking the holiday lights in his neck is what gave it away for me). Then the crowd warms to him after one little girl starts singing along.

    I think it's an excellent commercial.

    I didn't realize that's Brad Garrett playing Frank. (My sister said it was and I ruthlessly said it wasn't and she was on drugs. Then... I saw online that it was. Crow, order for one!)

    Apple's holiday commercials are usually A+.

    This one from a few years back made me tear up every time:

    Not sure which cable company it is...but it shows grandparents reading about how their granddaughter hates coming to their house for Christmas because it doesn't have wifi and big TVs...so Gram and Gramps spring for all the new goodies.
    WTF? No, that lil bitch can sit in the corner and cry while Grandpa tells everyone about Korea for the 24th straight year! THAT'S what holidays are for.

    "Hello, Moto!" (Especially the "ain't it cool" handling of its extra features, provided you shell out for goofy-assed accessories. Yeah, soooooo cool.)

    The geek who switched phone providers. I really want him to shut up.

    On another note, I find myself saying"Hello, Moto" for absolutely no reason. It's like a song stuck in my head.

    Winn Dixie has an awful song about prices going down to the tune of "9 to 5" by some woman who'd be booed off the stage at karaoke night. TV and radio spots, including every Alabama game and coaches show for the latter.

    The Verizon ad using the Macklemore song.
