So what do you think?

Another lackluster crop but there were a few chuckles. Etrade baby, Doritoes mouse and Pepsi Max occur to me as tops. Shipmax and FedEx courier pidgins were also cute.

Oh yeah, plus the stain ad and the Bridgestone ad with Alice Cooper and Richard Simmons.

Terry Bradshaw made me laugh before the game, did you hear it? Howie Long was putting on his Boston hat, and Terry says "Where did they find a hat to fit that big f**king head?"

Live TV, hundreds of millions watching, etc. etc. :laugh:

Awwwwwww, no votes for the horsey? Always love the Clydesdales. Pair one with a dog and you have instant cute.

Have to admit I laughed out loud at the Doritos ad where the guy baited the mouse trap.

I thought that one was the best. Overall, they really sucked this year. The Planters Cashews one with the ugly chick was the only one I found remotely amusing.

Bud seemed to have an off night. A long way from the Bud -WI -Zerrrr lizards.

I was most pleased that Bridgestone made a new ad. No more wheels going round. Thankfully. The screaming animals and gunning for Richard Simmons were actually good too.

Go Daddy sucked. Time for something new for them. Its had its run.

Sales Genie wasted about $6 million. Stick to radio.

A few giggles otherwise but nothing notable IMO

Cool to have an ad for the Audi but too much Godfather and not enough car

I liked the car but not the ad so much.

I liked:

Planters nuts
Fedex
Coke Balloons
Diet Pepsi Max
Chick in the SOBE lizzard ad.

I also enjoyed the Terminator tie-ins. Makes me think they should have waited to premier that series after the game.

Edit: I liked the Bridgestone animals too.

The Ironman trailer was the only thing that caught my attention.

No love for Jackie Moon?


Bud Light. Suck one.

:gomer:

The E*Trade baby trader spots were pretty good. Most of the Bud spots were good. I liked the R8, but not really the ad. Overall I thought they were average @ best.

How did I forget the Justin Timberlake ad? That was one of my favorites.

I also liked the Pedigree ad that ran during the Puppy Bowl. The dog's facial expressions were priceless and it tugged at the heartstrings.

A friend of a cousin twice removed's sister's brother's hairdresser told me about 3 weeks ago that the ad space wasn't selling well so his ad firm was brought in to throw together some spots for very cheap for some advertisers. I was reminded of that several times during the broadcast. :p

The Bud horses and the dancing lizards were the only ones that took the time to make an impression and I liked them both.

I also enjoyed the Terminator tie-ins.
FOX football robots vs. Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Terminator. Finally, the robots have a purpose. :gomer:

I liked the pre-game reading of the Declaration of Indpendence.
NFL to King George: F*** OFF! :D
