From the frogs of Budweiser to 'the most interesting man in the world' from Dos Equis, we have some pretty good beer commercials in the good ol' USA.  There is a new hilarious beer spot going viral on the web.

It’s a late night TV show monologue, it’s a blog … it’s a monoblog!

Who's sick of Super Bowl commercials? Yeah, me too! But that's not stopping me. Matthew Broderick's Honda ad has been made even better with a split screen and some creative editing. It's a side-by-side comparison between the the 1986 movie 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off,' and this year's 'Matthew's Day Off.' I promise, this is the LAST Super Bowl commercial. I'm swearing them off until next year! Read

There's one more Super Bowl commercial that you probably haven't seen - in fact most of us didn't see it Sunday night, because it only aired in North Platte, Nebraska. And this is no big budget ad featuring Jerry Seinfeld, Matthew Brodderick or Regis - it's a low rent spot with the one and only Will Ferrell pitching 'Old Milwaukee' beer. But it's getting more Internet buzz than most of the big guy

US Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra unveiled a new ad campaign during this year's Super Bowl contest. The commercial was definitely not as slick as offerings from Budweiser, (featuring their famous Clydesdales) or others, but it is getting plenty of attention. Criticism, actually. Naysayers claim the ad's use of an Asian woman speaking broken English is offensive and racist. Take a look for yourself

I've never been a die hard sports fan, but I do enjoy playoffs and championship bowls.  Yet, my favorite game all year is the Superbowl.  But it's not for the game itself.  For myself and many others, the commercials are the highlight! The Giants and the Patriots will face off in less than two weeks at Superbowl 46, and a new batch of fun TV spots will come to life.  Check out the best Superbowl c

Even if you use TiVo to skip through the commercials, you still get blasted by them if you don't dive for the remote quite fast enough. That will change about a year from now when the FCC's new rules go into effect, stipulating that TV commercials can't be louder than the programming. Now if they would just introduce a rule to make TV commercials less obnoxious!

Seems like Wisconsin has "Mitten Envy." A new ad campaign used by Wisconsin's tourism website to promote winter activities in that state, depicts Wisconsin as a mitten. Hello? What's up with that, Cheese Heads? Some say we should view it as a compliment.  Watch the video, and let us know if you think it's flattering, or a ripoff.

Many people have been passing this video around on Facebook, so I wanted to make sure you had a chance to see Bud's Clydesdale-tribute to the victims of the 9/11 tragedy.

Federal agencies are putting the spotlight on food marketing practices. McDonald’s spent $321 million on radio advertising last year. But how the fast food company allocates its budget may change as the federal government takes a closer look at childhood obesity.

The Green Bay Packers are the champions of Super Bowl XLV. Now the three-million-dollars-for-30-seconds-of-airtime question is ... which Super Bowl ad ruled 2011? Here's our stab at this year's ten best Super Bowl commercials.

Watching the president's speech tonight jogged my memory.  He spoke of technology, and bringing the Internet to rural areas.  There was mention of what will be possible in the future. Sound familiar?  This reminded me of AT&T's "You Will" campaign, from 1993.  Except for the phone booths, these  predicted the future rather accurately, didn't they? Click
