    I know tons of people hate TV commercials, but I gotta say, I love the maybe 2 or 3% of them that are actually entertaining, funny, and hold your attention. Especially if they use a classic rock song well.

    Here's our first contender, a new Heinz ketchup/mustard commercial featuring the great Harry Nilsson's song "Without You" (written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger):



    Not the greatest music editing in the world, but hey, at least they had good taste in music.

    Note that a single :30 second Superbowl commercial for 2016 will cost a whopping FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, which is a record for this kind of thing.

    And Queen's "Somebody to Love" for Honda trucks, which I think is the funniest commercial so far:

    I think that is the first time in years I have watched 5 YouTube videos in a row without being subject to an ad first. Wait....

    And here's the single best commercial of all of them (so far), featuring the late, great David Bowie for the Audi R8 sportscar:



    Man, that is a helluva good-looking car.

    And Jeff Lynne promoting his recent pseudo-ELO song "When I Was a Boy" for Hyundai:



    Strange commercial. I have a feeling this was one of those good ideas that kind of meandered... but I do like the song.

    I have a lot of those.

    I just was glad to see the musical halftime THIS time (Beyonce).

    All the single ladies, all the single ladies (Am I the ONLY one who enjoyed Liza Minelli's take on that in 2010's "Sex and the City" sequel flick?)

  22. I like how Baio's head moved, just slightly. It was a nice touch.

  25. Salvador Dali loved it. And I think something surreal like that is what was intended.
