Normally I despise commercials and avoid watching them by clicking to an alternate program as soon as they come on.

But lately I've liked a few, and watch them with a certain amount of enjoyment.

I love the Geico gecko with his British accent. He is just SO cool. What I like most is how perfect the animation is, with the most accurate body motions - how he turns his head, blinks in surprise, leans against the tree and loses his balance for a second. Just perfection.

There's a Liberty Mutual Insurance commercial where a chain of people do 'random acts of kindness', like picking up a baby's stuffed animal, keeping a parked motorcycle from being hit by a backing-up car, saving someone from being crushed by a falling stack of wooden crates. Each person in the chain sees someone *else* doing something nice, and so they do something kind as well. Okay, well I think it's pretty cool anyway.

I like the guy with his dog on the Beneful commercial, how he makes the dog smile by stretching his mouth up; but mostly how he likes his dog so much and how they hang out together.

There are a few more, but I can't think of them at the moment.

Do any of you have some favorites that you love, or love to hate?

Thanks for any replies.
