Not necessarily the most popular. Not necessarily the critics' picks. This is a list of some of our favorite 2007 commercials.

Digg It!

10. Propel Fitness Water - Stress Monster

A giant robot dashing through a city? Sounds like any number of movies (e.g. Transformers) and even some other commercials. Running is a nice stress reliever, so this Propel spot does an accurate job of representing that feeling. And throw in some Queen/Bowie and you've got a good all around ad.

9. Jeep Liberty - Pouring In

Corny or awesome? It's a tough call. Either way, it's a cute commercial. Sometimes it takes a mix of woodland critters pouring in to get the sing-a-long pouring out. Just watch out for that wolf.

8. Old Navy - Sweaters

Long have Old Navy commercials been peculiar and quirky, so it's a nice change of pace to have a sensual, serious spot. And the song is sweet.

7. Old Spice - Hungry Like the Bruce

It's tough to go wrong with sexy women fawning over a crooning Bruce Campbell, and this ad doesn't disappoint. Ahoy!

6. Axe - Dinner

Speaking of sexy, this Axe spot (or Lynx if you prefer) is full of it. Dad doesn't know what he's getting himself into. Bom Chicka Wah Wah.

5. Microsoft - Xbox 360 - Balloons

This spot is a lot of fun, if you get past the fact that kids are singing "Nothing But a Good Time." (Valiant job but not age appropriate). But who wouldn't want a hot air balloon to deliver some video game action.

4. Rice Krispies with Real Strawberries - Childhood is Calling

This ad campaign is simply precious. The Brother Iz soundtrack complements the sentiment perfectly.

3. Orbit - Euphemisms

Finally someone cleaning up their act on television. Thank you Orbit for giving catch-phrase fodder to adolescents everywhere.

2. Nike + iPod - Addicted

Runners can relate to what Edward Norton is narrating to us, and the haunting music and visuals hammer it home. What they're selling is more than just the Nike+ technology. They're selling a runner's mantra - I'm addicted.

1. Starburst Berries and Cream - Bus Station

Silly, without being too silly. Okay, it's utterly ridiculous, but we love it anyway.
