Favorite MLB Playoff Commercials

As the playoffs continue on TBS and FOX, I am forced to watch the same commercials almost every night. I understand that the marketers are attempting to reach their target audiences, but if I am to endure another "Viva Viagra" commercial I am going to put a hole in the wall. However, there are two commercials that I like tremendously. The first, is by Travelers Insurance. Its the one with the old english man with the giant red umbrella. I think the music is perfect and I often find myself humming the jingle in my mind at different times throughout the day.

The next ad is from Lincoln. Granted, owning and driving a Lincoln is generally reserved for those collecting Social Security but in this edgy ad they are obviously trying to entice more younger drivers. They do this by featuring the music of Daft Punk and their song, "Technologic." Perhaps, they are countering Cadillac's decision to use music from Justice in their commercials.
