I alternated between Eurosport and Versus feeds. I'd have to say on Eurosport, the best were the travel ads (Morocco, Egypt, Kazakhstan in that order) and Skoda. On Versus, I liked the Nissan Leaf ad the best.
As for least favorite: SIDI needs to fire their ad agency.

Proof that reverse mortgages have jumped the shark.

one of the Trek Big Deal commercials had a rider saying "Big ####ing Deal" and the Trek logo covered his mouth... i got a bit of a LOL out of it... the rest were completely forgettable.

Bianchi on Eurosport
Cervelo S5 on Versus, of course. I only watched Versus one day. It sucked.

The ones advertising the tour itself, where they show all of the crashes and say that this year´s tour is absolute carnage

I only saw it once, I know hard to believe, but I liked the Starburst candy commercial with the contradictory dog with his ass out the window instead of his head.

Hah, those made our 5 hour energy ads look super-professional. The Sidi ads were soooo bad. I not sure if the spin the bottle, er shoe or the cooking one was worse. If those aired in America, they certainly wouldn't help cycling's image

Tough to pick a favourite ... there have been a few good ones. But the Skoda ad is probably my favourite. It is very well done, and one wonders if those things have actually happened on Tours.
I like the Ballarat one too ... "Create your own cycling moments". I've never lived in a place before where there have been so many relatively local cycling ads encouraging people to get out and ride.

The kid on the trike spinning like a rat on crack was great, also liked the dog with ass out of the window. The IZOD spot made me ill. I've been surfing for almost 40 years and anyone in the lineup wearing an IZOD is going to get laughed out of the water. At least they found a guy that knew how to duck dive. GREAT race this year!!!

Actually, I am just so glad I didn't have to hear the Saab "born from jets" crap again.

The only ad that sticks in my mind is the terrible Sidi one on Eurosport. You'd think something Italian would have some style. It looks like some film school dropout made it for bus fare.

I just remembered that terrible venge ad on OLN with Cav just saying "It's a fast bike"
There is something nice about simple things... but that ad was just terrible. For a bike that is supposed to be a minor revolution in construction methods, it's just...nothing.

The best TDF commercials are still the ones from several years back, in which Bob was on a stationary pretending he was in the Tour.
