The Daily Show, sorry if this is repetitive it seems to be a popular choice
1) progressive.com commercial
2) Jack Linx Beef Jerkey commercial "Messing with the Sasquatch"
3) Daily Show begins, opening credits, refers to show from night before, refers to Obama as running for "President of TV," parodies Obama's info-mercial that was aired on 7 different channels
4) advertisement for Election Special on Tuesday night with Stewart and Colbert (Indecision08)
5) iPod touch commercial
6) GetSmart DVD commercial, encourages viewers to vote on Election day, ties election into commercial
7) Verizon commercial
8) Domino's commercial
9) RocknRolla preview
10) Old Spice commercial
11) back to show, montages of statements about "Community Organizers," parodying statements that Republicans have made about Barak's experience, parody interviews with Community Organizers (curse words are bleeped)

14) Sprint Instinct Phone commercial

I was surprised by the amount of movie previews(in theaters, not the ones shown on TV). Interesting cross-over of advertising between cinema and TV that I wasn't used to(haven't watched American TV in a long time) This was also not a category in Williams' article - recent development?
