Well I suppose they are memorable..just memorable in a bad way. The potentially give you nightmares way.

Fail.

Except for the second one. Dean missing the phone cradle on the first try and the dude walking into the frame were pretty funny.

While the last one was gone, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that they really do just FAIL.

and if you don't *want* to do it with firefox…just take the plugin out.

and the last one says removed by user…I wonder why.

The last one's been removed. But yeah, fail. I'll stick to Firefox and Safari. However, it'd be nice if all the people still using IE6 finally upgraded.

I don't like IE but these ads were funny! Guy walking into frame carrying in a plant… come on!

"It's Dean Kane grandpa… he lives in our chair" – that's just top notch! Seriously… good stuff!

I think they are pretty annoying, but the fact is no matter how good the commercials are, it will be a tough sell to get people to switch back to IE once they've gone to Firefox. And the newest Safari is not half bad either on PC's.
