Who could forget the Tropicana orange juice commercial a few months ago with all the oranges working out, jump roping, running, etc! That was amazing, held my attention for the whole length, was funny, and did it's job selling its goals! I think Ring of Fire did that commercial if i'm not mistaken. Kudos!!!!

The new "Spy vs. Spy" commercials seem to have a great mix of animation technologies going on, for a visually interesting (if violent) result that seems true to the Mad magazine originals. If I could only remember what green-label soft drink it was for...
