#1 - Bridgestone Tires - A driver screams down the road on Bridgestone tires avoiding a deer, Alice Cooper and, finally, Richard Simmons. Anything featuring Richard Simmons is bound to be funny, and the scream puts this one over the top. Never forget, "you're worth it."

#2 - eTrade Talking Baby - The talking baby bit has been done before, but this commercial was funny regardless. His bodily movements matching up to his speech made the commercial that much better. And just when we think he's a grownup, he spits up on himself. Childish, yet funny.

#3 - SoBE Dancing Lizards - A gorgeous model cracks open a bottle of the fruity beverage, and a lizard flies through the air to steal a drop. The lizard then leads a group of his friends in a well-choreographed reenactment of the dance moves from Michael
Jackson's Thriller music video.

The best of the rest:
#4 - Planters Nuts: Ugly Woman
#5 - Coca Cola: Underdog v. Stewie v. Charlie Brown
#6 - Bridgestone Tires #2: Screaming animals
#7 - Pepsi Stuff: Justin Timberlake
