You need to correct the spelling: MacGyver NOT MacGuyver

macgruber, like almost every over recurring SNL bit, was funny the first time, ok the second time and unbearable each subsequent time. the singular exception to this rule is wayne’s world, i think.

as for other foodie commercials, don’t forget about pepsi’s other massively insulting spot –”the more things change, the more they stay the same” BS.

conan o`brien’s swedish bud ad was OK though.

Good points, Cary – it was just a weak field overall.

1. The Coke commercial was nice to look at, but watching a bottle of soda spilling into nature only reminded of Coke’s illegal toxic dumping in India. So a no thanks for that.

2. High Life- Meh.

3. Macgruber – why did it have to suck so hard? I mean, great premise, love McGuyver, why so terrible? The guy playing MacGruber was god awful. Acting doesn’t mean “act excited always!!!” In that case, Robin Williams would just show up to the Oscars and take every statue home.

I was a big fan of the two Doritos commercials – The Chase and Beware the Crunch

The Magruber bit is actually a recurring short skit on Saturday Night Live — one of the good ones too. Without that frame of reference I would think the use of that skit as a commercial would be just kind of weird.
