I personally wasn’t very impressed by the quality of the ads this year, but this ad from Career Builder made me chuckle.
HT: GMan
It was the part about being tempted to hit small animals that did it for me. I could have done without the guy in the Speedo though.
Update: After being cajoled (not really) by Katie and Kelsey I thought I’d add the Doritos commercial made by a couple of unemployed guys. So here you go ladies. I missed this when it aired, but have to say I think it is funnier than the Career Builder ad.

wow, you're the first person I've seen who actually liked that spot. They lost me when they punched the koala bear. I enjoyed about the first 10-15 seconds of it, but then it just became too annoying. My favorite was the Doritos snow globe spot.
Katy, I just have a twisted sense of humor.
I must have missed the Doritos snow globe spot.
Haha, I liked this one too–it was different. I also liked the Doritos commercial where the guys smashes the vending machine. It's cool because it wasn't created by a huge advertising agency, but it was the winning commercial from two unemployed guys in Indiana. I saw an interesting video about the Superbowl ads and their significance:

I really enjoyed that one too! And I completely agree with you that “being tempted to hit small animals” was what did me in on this ad. Especially getting to watch someone hit a stuffed animal, what 3 times? Another one I enjoyed was the Dorito one where the guys breaks the glass on the vending machine. I had no idea that it was created by amateurs. I saw a video on newsy about how that commercial was created by two brothers through a contest. That is pretty amazing.

I didn't see that one until last night after the Super Bowl. It was funny.
That was good too. I'll probably throw it up on this post if I can find it on YouTube.
Yes, the Career Bulder commerc ial is funny. It would be a good stating point for discussing how do we view work? What is it's role? What is our calling in work?
