Folgers has a fun and quirky commercial that is so off the wall you won't forget it.
Here's the You Tube video:
Ann Althouse appreciates the commercial's goofiness:
I'd like to see this on TV, preferably HDTV, widescreen, to get the full effect, but even just looking at that YouTube-ish rectangle, I'm going to give this commercial the Althouse Seal of Approval... and not just because it's cleverly creating web buzz. I approve because it's hilariously engaging and entertaining -- enough not only to prevent fast-forwarding but to inspire replaying and even conversation. And that conversation is engaging and entertaining: What the hell was that? How is that a commercial for coffee?
When you're done watching the video, check out the site Tolerate Mornings.

I think the Skittles Beard commercial is #1 right now.

jpm100, that Skittles commercial has to be the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I'm still shaking my head and thinking "WTF?".

That's almost (not quiet but almost) as disturbing as that creepy Burger King guy standing at the window when the guy opens his shade.

It certainly scores points for originality...though I'm not sure if I want to laugh or cry.

Okay, I get it -- it's called "Tolerate Mornings" because nobody grabs a shotgun and starts blowing away those caterwauling glowing people.

Liberated from the Morlocks at last!
This just proves that the Tele Tubbies are not alone in their Gayness.
So thats what they did with all those unused Hulk Hogan outfits??

Wait a minute...don't those glowing yellow people with rictus smiles remind you of the moonbats and Kos in his Ned Lamont endorsment?
Take a look, now I know why they're so creepy.

That was extremely annoying.
A few shotguns and grenades would have been the perfect ending to that commercial.
