OT: Super Bowl Commericals Thread

Well, a good start by Bud Light, but the rest have been lame so far.

looks like the Robin Hood movie with Russell Crowe could be good!

Yeah, that looks interesting. So far though the commercials this year have been weak, aside from the first Bud Light commercial with the house made out of full beer cans! The Doritos commercials have been okay, but not great.

BUD bridge was good

casual Fridays ...good

I thought the first 2 Doritos commercials were the best. Everything else has been alright. I want to see some more Bud Light "too light, too heavy" type commercials.

The only other commerical I liked was the Brett Farve commericial where he is still thinking about retirement at the age of fifty! Nothing like some self-deprivating humor from a person that is really irritating a lot of people with his act every year! At least he has a good sense of humor.

I think that would have worked better if they didn't have a loaded semi truck driving over the people. That was more painful to watch than geniunely funny.

The Favre commercial was pretty funny. Though I can't remember what they were selling.

Simpsons coke commercial was good.

The Doritos gym commercial was hilarious.

I liked the Beaver Commercial for monster.com and the casual Friday one was weird. Most of the commercials were pretty lame IMO.

1. Farve commercial
2. Robin Hood teaser!!!! This will be awesome.
3. Budlight House (it was ok)

Didn't like anything else. The Doritos commercials were awful....but I have very selective humor.

Thank you! I think the Doritos commercials are going to be way overrated on the USA Today Ad-meter results tomorrow morning. I did not think the funeral commercial was funny because one, the premise of someone hiding or playing dead has been done before, and two, it was a pretty tasteless premise to begin with! I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cringe when the guy made the "angel" yell after the "corpse" came back to life!

Agreed about the Farve commerical, though Bud Light got the first one right with the house built of cans filled with beer. But even the rest of their commericals were way off the mark by their standards. This was probably the weakest year for Super Bowl commericals ever. Fortunately the game was great!

Honorable mentions to the new E-Trade baby commercial and the Budweiser Clydesdales commercial, though not as good as in recent years.

As I stated above, this was a real bad year for the commercials, with the exception of the Bud house, Brett Farve and E-Trade baby commercials. Not good! Thank god for a great game though!
