    The Paul Revere one had me rolling.

    The AT&T commercials with the little kids make me twitch. Shut these kids up.

    I kinda like the ATT ads; I'm surprised the people who make Ritalin haven't sought a cross-promotion agreement. And I don't think the Geico ads are as consistently good as they used to be. The ones with the two yokels are very hit and miss, and the gecko as U.S. traveler/movie star is a pretty weak series.

    I always thought they were gay lovers...turns out in one of the commercials, their love affair is a sham. The dark-haired dude is married and is hiding from his wife.
    Sooo, maybe it's his marriage that is a sham (makes Rock-like eyebrow arch)?

    There's a 9 year old on American Idol?
    When did they change the minimum age?

    Those kids are not at all cute. They are super annoying.

    The kid who says he's going to tape a cheetah to his grandma's back is awesome.

    The rest of them come off as self-consciously trying to be cute.

    The guy's name is Beck Bennett. Those spots are derived from a series of YouTube political shorts:

  12. They were horrible with the cavemen...now that they've ditched them and went back to the gecko, and also introduced the pig, things have gotten back to normal for them. They're not hilarious, but they're not annoying either.
