The Apple ad was way ahead of its time... as always..
The eTrade monkey is adorable! lol
But yea I agree with everyone else... this top 10 list seems to be lacking quite a few memorable ads...

@PaisleyPajamas: He was doing films before; in fact, he's still doing commercials.

All three of these have been mentioned before individually, but I've got to put them together. Any superbowl top-10 ad list is sorely incomplete if it lacks the EDS "herding cats", E*Trade "money coming out the wazoo", and E*Trade "ride through the valley of the failed dot-coms" (link in comment #3).

OurBeginnings, SalesGenie, and the E*Trade "waste of money dancing monkey"? Puh-leez. Second-tier at best. None can hold a candle to the aforementioned triad.

The Vaunnies Mustardayonnaise commercial on youtube is better than the Apple 1984 commercial!

I would definitely have to say that your idea of a top 10 and mine are not the same. Besides the Apple commercial, the only top 10 list I would put the other's on would be, oh, I dont know, useless waste of money, maybe....

the apple one is a classic, that ad was like before its time. I have an even better one though, a parody of a budweiser ad, (open a bottle with your ass) [opentopix.com]

And who says a great feature film director can't come from commercial work first? (re: Apple's "1984" by Sir Ridley Scott)

No Cindy Crawford at the Pepsi Machine, no Budweiser frogs, No Larry Bird vs Jordan, and no Mean Joe Green drinks a Coke?

Worst top 10 ever.

Where are the cats?

Um, I realize that EDS might not be purely a "tech" company, but the Herding Cats commercial is tied for first with Apple's 1984 commercial as the best of all time (as far as I'm concerned).

No Terry Tate office linebacker? or did that never make the superbowl ad list from Reebok?

@Alleywag: Tried to embed the video in my comment. Didn't work. But, yes, everyone go see that E*Trade ad. On the second viewing, imagine the monkey is riding through Sunnyvale. [youtube.com]
