"Never question Mr. Nibbles!"

In my never-ending quest for the perfect TV commercial, I've come across Staples' "Deptartment of Unexpected Gifts" set of commercials. A panel of 6 employees -- including entertainer Engerbert Humperdinck and a reindeer -- pick out gifts for stumped shoppers. Featured gifts in the various spots include a digital camera and a shredder that can shred credit cards and CDs. (This I gotta see -- does it make tiny plastic bits out of CDs or carve a pattern into them to render them unreadable?)

My favorite of the lot: The one where the guy is looking for something for his wife, and the reindeer picks out a laptop. When the guy questions the selection, the Taste Maker -- a cross between the Fab Five and Dr. Evil -- retorts, "Never question Mr. Nibbles!"

Check 'em all out. (Requires Flash.)
