Get a Mac adsAs 2006 is beginning to wind down, it’s a great time to have a look at the last 12 months we call a year. And what better way to do that then look at some of the best advertisements of 2006? Well that’s exactly what The Wall Street Journal has done with their list of the Best (and Worst) Ads of ‘06 (warning: article requires subscription). Not surprisingly, Apple’s “Get A Mac” are some of the best of 2006:

The Mac-man — played by actor Justin Long, star of the film ‘Accepted,’ is clever, fun and handy — he can communicate with all sorts of different people, and knows how to come up with pictures and music. The PC, played by another actor known to the youth crowd, “Daily Show” commentator John Hodgman, is decidedly less hip, and is always amazed, humbled or befuddled by Mac’s never-ending range of abilities.

Other companies with top ads were CareerBuilder.com, KFC, Philips Norelco, and Sprint-Nextel. Some of the worst were Walmart, Head On, and Outback Steakhouse.
