1. Robert Goulet appears and messes with your stuff. Just hilariously random, and almost as funny as Will Ferrell's Goulet impression. And with Ricardo Montalbon also appearing in an ad, it was an excellent year for former "Naked Gun" villains.
2. Letterman and Oprah. Who knew? Much, much better than the last time Dave tried to use Oprah as a punchline.
3. The Coca-Cola/Grand Theft Auto hybrid. Whoever came up with that is a genius.
4. Jay-Z vs. Don Shula. I totally want to play that virtual reality football/chess game they had. But what are the odds that Shula had heard of Jay-Z before they filmed this?
5. The Bud Light slaps. As usual, Bud had eight different ads, and only one or two of them were actually funny.
I was also happy, of course, about the complete and total lack of "this is our country."
UPDATE: This New York Times writer apparently thinks all the ads were really about Iraq, even though, really, none of them were.
The Robert Goulet ad was hilarious. Also - was that George Carlin doing the voice of the gorrilla in the Bud Light ad?

Also, the Doritos ad with teh checkout counter made me feel a little dirty and use. I don't know about the rest of you.
Also, was it me, or did a robot commit suicide in a GM spot?
Disturbing.
What about Snickers?
