So I’d like to think that having my new fancy schmancy TV doesn’t make me glued to the boob tube like I used to be when I was a kid watching Married with Children, Quantum Leap and the Simpsons but. . . that’s a complete lie. Granted, I do have better taste in television these days but I’m pretty sure it’s time I set a parental control – not only to save my vision, brain cells and social life, but I have a feeling that the amount of my upcoming electricity bill will determine whether or not I have to walk to work this month because I can no longer afford gas.
But it’s commercials like these that make TV interesting and, given the upcoming Super Bowl this weekend, I figured I’d share a few of my current favorites for your Monday visual enjoyment:
Mountain Dew Voltage – Zapper: After I saw this the first time I almost threw up, but for whatever reason it grew on me.

Domino’s and Subway – Food Fight: Hungry Girl tipped me off on this one. “This is as much fun as a good, old-fashioned school cafeteria food fight.”

Jamie Lee Curtis – Activia: I do enjoy the buddha rub, but I’m thinking the reason I can never keep a straight face has more to do with the SNL parody.
