    I showed my daughter the opening to Saturday Night Fever to do a comparison. The long version of the commercial is awesome, with Donna Pescow (as you mentioned), Travolta checking out the shoes in the window, ordering/eating the cookies (it's pizza slices in the movie). Of course, there's the paint can and the dancing, etc. I wonder if they got Travolta Claus to actually dance or if it was AI. Either way, it's the best ad this holiday season, with apologies to Chevy/dementia grandma (which is also a great ad and also has a long version) and Amazon/grandma sledders.

    I don’t know how they get Australians to watch three-minute ads, but this is a funny and strangely wholesome one poking fun at the generation gap.

    I like the Mercedes commercial where Fed is the random guy on the massage table, especially Roger’s smile. Great whimsy in his 1-second or less spot.

    The Amazon spot where the theatre ushers order a jacket for one if the cleaners and give him hus moment in the spotlight is growing on me.

    The Uber Eats ads with McConaghey and McCaffery make me giggle each time. “Jerry’s eating rice.”

    That's fantastic. Watched it a couple times and picked up more little things, like the name of the old folks' boat and the messages on the electronic ticker in the city.

    All of the Mayhem ads for Allstate. Dean Winters is hilarious.

    The ass on that woman guest in the wedding commercial is phenomenal. They spotlight it twice.

    The Year in Google is like One Shining Moment and the Olympic montage combined - with all the feels. I still don't know who some of these people are.

    The repetitiveness of those ads actually aggravate me to no end. But Winters was great as Liz Lemon's bf in 30 Rock, and last week, I saw him on an early episode of Homicide: Life in the Street.
