1. Old Spice (Terry Crews)

AHHHHHH |
2. AXE (Clean your balls campaign)

Is there relief for this man with dirty (soccer) balls? |
3. Windows 7

There were a series of commercials based on "my idea" Windows 7 commercials. I found them humorous, and I did see the point of saying it was "My idea," because as consumers we were the ones who sent them the information and features that we wanted to see when it came time to upgrading our operating systems. Plus, I always giggle at the obvious differences of characters in the reenactments and those explaining how Windows 7 was their idea.
4. Taco Bell (Lounge Singer)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekHca_fm1P4
This commercial I enjoyed more on a personal level, because I kept imagining it happening if I was at a restaurant such as that, and they gave me a portion of food too small for a chiuaha, but it came with a bill longer than Gene Simmons Tongue. Then again, I always think of improbable things during slow, "less-exciting" moments. I once was bored enough to believe I had the powers to make books move while I sat motionless in the library, but that's a completely different story.
5. Budweiser (Swear Jar)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJJL5dxgVaM
I can't begin to explain how funny I thought this was. The unnecessary swearing had me giggling like a child whenever I heard someone use an actual swear word.
6. Bud Light (Will Ferrell)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej9wCko6dR4&feature=related
Now, a lot of people are not Will Ferrell fans, but I like the incredible bluntness of the ads, basically saying what most beer ads try and get across, but do it more subtly.
7. Speed Stick (Don't sweat it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jO3M0zRPZ38
A speed stick ad which shows a man, scared for his life on the inside, picking up a possibly venomous tarantula to seem strong and manly in front of his two female companions. It made me laugh because he didn't think it through and grabbed it solely to seem like a man, when in reality, he would've probably been poisoned. Ahh, classic stereotypes of the male persuasion...I would've done the same thing in his position..
8. Febreeze Fabric Refresher
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dHkWWnDlGLc
One of the most disgusting rooms and couches I've ever seen. That smell like flowers because of a few sprays of Febreeze. Although I'm not really buying it, I enjoy the reactions, even if staged, of the people when they realize what they're sitting on may have just given them a disease.
9. Evian Babies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=341rybZ42vA#t=12s
I've always bought Evian, the commercials didn't convince me to drink more, but I found it utterly adorable. But it also scared me to no end with the thoughts that these strange looking creatures had the motor control to find a way into my room as I slept. And not many movies, let alone commercials, have the ability to make me feel that.
10. Panda Cheese Compilation (ARAB)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6iHCFiSqIw
Thought not American, I believed this to be worthy of the top commercials because of its humorous way of advertising its product. Especially by using an animal thought to be innocent with its big ol' eyes and soft fur. Though many people forget Pandas are still bears, no matter how cute they are.
