August

Whatever happened to all of the great Olympics commercials? Every four years a new batch shows up. Some made you laugh, some made you proud and some tugged at your heartstrings and brought a tear to your eye. Well, I guess times have changed because this month’s Best Spots, the Olympics month, includes only one Olympics sponsorship ad. It’s for Allstate, and I think it’s pretty good, but not great, which is what I think of most of the spots on this month’s reel.

There are a few I like a lot, though, and one I don’t at all.
