| I was happy that they finally showed fencers but I think we got gypped. I could barely see the blades, let alone the bodies. And I have no clue what weapon it was, maybe epee.

| I liked the Ameriquest commercials best, especially the one with the two doctors zapping the fly. Also good was the magic fridge bud-light one (good commercial, bad beer). I thought there were a lot of really bad commercials, which is a shame considering how much they paid to get them on the air. Most effective, though, was the godaddy.com commercial, since I didn't know what the hell it was, and I decided to check by going on their site.

It was epee, but i saw the way they were fencing and realised that they were just slashing at eachother like it was a sabre. But still, god bless tivo.
But yeah, Budlight had all the best comercials. It was a disapointing year for commercials.

| Loved the FedEx commercial. (It was like arguing with some of my old bosses.) The fly zapping and streaking sheep were pretty amusing, too.
I didn't even catch the fencing spots either the earlier or later commercial till I replayed them over and over from the aol site after reading about them here. Pretty easy to miss.

| Do we know who the fencers were in that commercial? My mom said that they were foilists, somebody else said they were sabreurs, and yet someone else said they were epeeists. 
Favourite one? I'd say the Ameriquest fly commercial and the Fed Ex.
Did anybody see the Jessica Simpson/Mrs. Piggy reversal? That was genius. Pure genius! | |
