  1. Tarah, these are great. I have to say the talking baby twins make the top of my list. -Jordana

  4. “You gave it to the CAT?” Nooooo! These are all great. It’s tough to beat Jennifer Aniston, especially when you add in the puppies and babies! YouTube has become a great forum/competition for messaging/commercials that do not conform to the conventional 30 or 60-second spots available for purchase in TV. It’s also a haven for those willing to push the envelope with their creativity, edgy humor and perspectives that many in the U.S. might find too over-the-top for regular TV. Where else would you actually want a “virus?”

  5. The dog tease is awesome, but my favorite was “Look at Me Now”; these guys are very talented!
