They are consistently well done in my mind. The first I can remember see was the one with the old inventor goes to the help desk and say he needs help with his invention. The quality has stayed high with each new one.

1. The one that cracks me up every time is
the one with the big brown truck (reminiscent of UPS) where they get stopped....
"You're going the wrong way."
"How do you know?"
"The boxes told me."
"Well, maybe the boxes should drive."

3. VH1 promo add:
We were gonna take this bowl of mashed potatoes and morph it into a snowman that would do a dance number with a yam, Beyonce, and the entire cast of Rent. Instead we took our production budget and made a donation to "Toys For Tots". Happy Holidays.


Now that rocks!

Khash.
