You Went Commercial on Me (A Few of My Favorites)

Hey family,

With the Super Bowl just a week away, I'm looking forward to great commercials. My frat brother has informed me Ferris Buehler may make an appearance, and I'm sure the big boys like Coca-Cola and Doritos will give us something. This led me to reminisce over commercials both past and present that are all time classics. So here are 6 of my favorite listed below (Please note that some of these commercials are NOT from the Super Bowl):

Terry Tate "Office Linebacker"- The Felcher Group reaches out to Reebok to improve production in the work place.

Mountain Dew "Bohemian Rhapsody"- The brother in the back never gets his proper due.

RBK A5 Commercial/Nike Battle (Tie)- The "Hood" stood up when rap star Jadakiss and legendary producers The Neptunes made their way to basketball commercials for Reebok and Nike, respectively.

Pepsi- "Michael Jackson: Pepsi Generation"- A young Alfonso Ribiero performing the dances from Thriller AND Stop the Love You Save? Are ya crazy?

Jay-Z Rhapsody Commercial- Clip highlights the music of Jigga Man through a montage of his classic album covers.

Nike Basketball "Kobe System: Level 6 Beastion"- Kobe enlightens Kanye West on how to be more successful.

This week shapes up to be a great one, with the release of We're Just Talking on Monday, a pack of skittles, and the Super Bowl (and commercials) on Sunday. Peace and boogie, baby.
