Tivo users heart Ameriquest

by Adam Finley, posted Feb 7th 2006 5:44PM
You know, I thought the whole point of owning a Tivo was so you didn't have to watch commercials, but that didn't stop Ameriquest's ad titled "Friendly Skies" from being the most replayed spot among Tivo users during the Super Bowl. Another Ameriquest spot, also from the same campaign, was the second most replayed ad. In the first, a woman trying not to disturb a sleeping man on a plane ends up on top of him when the plane hits some turbulence. In the second ad, two doctors kill a mosquito but relatives think they actually killed the patient. You can watch both spots here, and then, like me, wonder why people found these ads worth viewing twice. I mean, they're mildly funny, but they're not "I have to watch that again" funny, are they?

the plane one was kinda sexual, so people might ahve wanted to see it again.

I really would have thought that Sprint commercial would have been #1. I've been chucking my cell phone at potential thieves all week. Sorry Grandma.

I am not easily offended, but I thought the fly ad was tasteless. The one on the plane was pretty funny.

for me, it was that the commercials were so lackluster that my party was not actually paying attention. When the two ameriquest ones came on, someone in the group actually laughed so we then rewound the tivo and watched it. I can imagine we were the only ones like this.
