Amusing and annoying ads

Keeping in mind that different parts of the country (or different countries entirely) may have different TV ads. . .what do you consider the most amusing and annoying TV ads currently running?
Two that we like are the Mac ads featuring Mac and PC and the Jack in the Box ads (especially the one where Jack's son says he wants to be a "vegetarian" but it turns out he really means "veterinarian").
Two that make me want to hurl a brick through the screen are the Wendy's one where everybody is kicking trees and the McDonald's one where they just show two fish sandwiches and keep saying "Filet O'Fish" over and over again.
Honestly, even though I like the food better at Wendy's, I'm tempted to go to Jack in the Box the next time I want a hamburger, just because their ads are so much cleverer!
