Christina's Online Television

I am a huge fan of hulu but it seems like every year they add more and more commercials.  It is good for both you and the advertiser that you get to pick what kind of commercials that pop up during your shows.  This way advertisements arent wasted on people who have no interest in the products.  It would be like showing a product that only girls would use on my tv.  The company still had to pay to show me that ad, but it didn't get them another sale. 

Jingle Time

Some companies will add a catch phrase or a jingle in their commercials to keep a product in your mind.  As soon as most people hear Subway, they start to think "5 dollar foot long".  I'm sure many people have checked their credit report at freecreditreport.com, only because it is so popular because of its advertisement.  They are usually quick commercials that are meant to be funny and put something to stay in your head.  If they make a song so catchy and popular, people will start to think of that company more when they need that product.  Its almost like they get free advertising when people discuss the commercial in private conversations or start to sing it on their own. 
Have you ever had a jingle stuck in your head or talked about a funny commercial that you've seen?
