I like the AT&T girl because she is the only person I "know" who was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

I like the Cookie Monster siri ad, but I think it will get on my nerves come Final Four time.

I enjoy any AT&T commercial featuring Lily.  I kind of enjoy the ones with Barkley, Spike Lee and Sam Jackson.

The settlers can die.

That's because they have category exclusivity, so that will continue throughout the tournament.

I hate the one that starts with "we know you picked a 12 seed to beat a 5 seed" or else me thing like that.

+1 on Cookie Monster. 

The BK hotdog and 7-11 cheese 'steak' adds just leave me asking a) who in their right mind actually eats this and b) enough of these are sold to validate the ad costs?

Funny - I asked my wife last night "who on earth would buy a hot dog at BK or a cheesesteak at 7-11?"  She answered that a friend - who weighs about 350 pounds - recently mentioned he loves the BK hot dogs.

What's with showing the Harley Davidson bar and shield logo on the scoreboard but no HD commercials?

Has to be the moron yelling "get your flame grilled hot dogs heeee-Yere!" I was sick of that before I finished watching it the first time.

Unfortunately, the PC do-gooders have gotten ahold of Cookie Monster on the actual Sesame Street show.  He now talks about how much he loves veggies, and that cookies should only be eaten once in awhile as a special treat.
Have some patience, FFS.

or more than one BK hotdog or 7-11 cheesesteak.....

I know it doesn't have broad appeal but I like the Lowe's JT3 spot.  I assume they have other coaches queued up to make it a broader appeal.

We'll see. Right now it makes JTIII look like a simpleton. Just like the Kentucky fan calling his wife from Buffalo Wild Wings. Guess the idiot spokesman is the new thing (like the BK hot dog guy, or the Sonic morons).

The Quesalupa is up there too. Congrats, Taco Bell, you made a taco and gave it a new name again. Still, no one cares.

She's ok.  I met her at an AT&T function last year.  I'll take the former Directv girls we had in ads over her every day of the week.

Who needs Donald when you have Benny?

You're welcome.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I kinda like the Buffalo Wild Wing spots.  The guy in the commercial is an adult talking exactly like an excited five-year old child does for some reason.  I think the one where the mom leaves the sad kids in the car is funnier, but I like them both.

The BK hot dog ad with the vendor is the worst by far.  I am a maestro of the remote control and only watch the commercials when all of the games are in commercial.  Even when there is but a single game going on I usually have a back-up movie to hop to during commercials.  U-571 has been on cable a lot this week, for example.

Calvin:  I'm a genius.  But I'm a misunderstood genius. 
Hobbes:  What's misunderstood about you?
Calvin:  Nobody thinks I'm a genius.

My son just described a new Sammich you can get at the ballpark: a burger between two pizzas.
