very funny!
I might have to change my opinion of TBS.
Apparently the network is airing "Funniest Commercials in 2006" tonight at 9 p.m. The show, in its third consecutive year, allows viewers to watch and vote on the funniest ads of the past 52 weeks; the winners are announced at the end of the hour.
I love this kind of stuff! It reminds me of my days in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, when the now-defunct Princess Court cinema would screen "The World's Best Commercials," an annual international compilation of the hilarious and the heartwarming. No matter what kind of undergraduate exams I had the next day, or which papers were due, I trudged through the snow every year to catch the world's best. Having moved several times since then, I've missed that particular tradition.
So while I still think TBS' slogan "very funny" is less than inspired, I hope its "Funniest Commercials '06" is everything the title implies. And I hope the Geico commercials with the cavemen win big.
