There was plenty of star power in this week's collection of best commercials, and it was mostly put to comic use.

Ricky Gervais, Johnny Manziel and Jean-Claude Van Damme also turned in amusing performances, even if it wasn't quite clear whether the latter was really in on the joke. And we even had a celebrity director handle one big fall TV campaign.

Also this week, we had one hell of a product demo from a Bissell brand manager, who went way beyond the call of duty while scrubbing the floor of a Toronto subway.

Check out our picks below, and vote for your favorite.
