I love this commercial because the majority of the commercial has nothing to do with the product they are trying to sell, but it still makes the name memorable. Tostitos is not the only company to use this advertising strategy.
Budweiser recently did the same with their Real Men of Genius campaign. These commercials celebrate the regular, everyday guys and their total ordinary-ness. Bud Lite is not even mentioned until the very end of these commercials. Each one of the commercials in the campaign is funny and interesting and catches the viewer/listener's attention.In my opinion, commercials that aren't overly, and sometimes annoyingly, pushing their product are the commercials that really sell well. I also enjoy the comical commercials, such as the Beggin' Strips commercial.
This commercial, shot in the '90s, is one of my favorite. Its catchy, its funny, and its well shot. You actually feel like you are looking from the dogs perspective, not like the camera happens to be there. Commercials today are so over-the-top and sometimes unbelievable. It is nice to see ones like the Tostitos and the Bud Lite commercials. These companies understand the American public and how we prefer to think, or not think, when it comes to television and commercials.
These are just some examples of the great commercials that are out there. If you have any recommendations for great commercials I should watch, let me know. I am always open to new, entertaining commercials.

Great first blog post! You found some funny stuff and wrote about it in an entertaining way on the theme you've chosen. Very enjoyable reading.
Watch out for apostrophe catastrophes: 90's should be '90s (apostrophes make possessives, not plurals). And you've got a few its that should be it's. But overall very well written!
I enjoyed reading your blog, and I also think commercials can be entertaining. They are definitely a specific art form that can either be done really well or really bad. It's fun to watch older commercials because they take you back to that time period. I think you would get a kick out of this old commercial, that introduced Apple computers to the world. Imagine watching it at that time, and thinking "What is that?".
