I'm not trying to be "debbie the downer" but these talking animal commercials just seem a little silly to me. My wife (who does not follow this stuff at all) commented to me recently that these spots are "downright stupid." Are they really translating into selling more tickets than they otherwise would?
You don't actually like the AirTran commercials, such as the one where a number of passengers enter the lav for a business conference, or the one where the boss is seen talking with his seatmate, a junior employee? I know they are meant to promote the onboard Wi-Fi, but those commercials are just plain sophomoric.

There is a reason why the F9 ad campaign has repeatedly won advertising industry awards.
