1) The Squirrel Is Saved. Combined with Richard Simmons avoiding doom, Bridgestone Tires emerges as a surprise winner, just like the Giants.
2) Hank the Horse Makes First Team. Another Clydesdale ad keeps the tradition going.
3) Unibrow Planter's Nut Girl. You watch how famous she's going to be.
4) Audi -- Mercedes in the bed horsehead. On second consideration, the Godfather riff moves into the Top 5.
5) Wake Up, People. Pepsi-Cola. Has my head been spun around by spending too many nights at the Roxbury?
