I do not believe anything will ever beat the Mean Joe Green ad.
The Mean Joe Green commercial I remember from my childhood. The whole family would gather to watch the Super Bowl and nobody was as great as Mean Joe Green. Hearing the kid say “Thanks Mean Joe” made all of us kids jealous. And, of course, Joe Green was anything but mean! Thanks for the memory OCR!
Hey Duh,
I work here at the Register, and I agree that there are some better ads out there. We plan to run more categories in the days to come, so check back to ocregister.com. And don’t worry - some of the more “interesting” ads will be linked.

The cat herding commercial in the late 90’s was classic too. So were the Ameriquest ads 3-4 years ago.
Mean Joe still the best and will be forever. Here in Pittsburgh and around the world. GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!
