Some Bright Spots in TV Advertising

Engaging...

Advertising whimsy 

What a relief it is to find some bright spots in the otherwise dreary wilderness that makes up a lot of TV advertising.

It's a wonder sponsors pay incredible amounts for ads that barely register with many viewers.

Fortunately, it's possible to find some good ones now and then that are engaging.

Here are some that can really make you stop and watch:
