Well as I'm sitting here tired and trying to get over a headache, I can't 
remember any  specific commercial.  Generally it's an off-beat humor that I 
do not find funny at all.  I think that the beer commercials are stupid.  But 
I have read that the beer ads are based on the advertising people's reading 
of skateboard magazines.  The Jack in the Box commercials have been described 
as off-beat humor, and I do think they are funny.
