Advertisments You Remember Good or Bad

Currently there are a few commercials currently running that I want to comment on. I really like the commercial that has the white SLEEP cat and the black WAKE dog.  I have trouble recalling the product name, not a good sign. But, the commercials I can recall by brand name are the ones that are bugging the crap out of me because they freeze up my television. I have contacted the company that provides my service and I get "we are aware of this issue and are trying to result it". Mean while I still have to put up with the same two ads that no matter what channel I have when they are aired my television is locked. I have to turn off the TV and turn back on and change the channel just to break the connection. SO, If I tell you the ads are for American Express and Carnival Cruse Line, these names I remember but not in a good light. Did the Ads work?
