Super Bowl Commercials

Okay... so I don't really care about the actual game, but normally I do like the ads that run during it.
This year was an utter disappointment. I thought all of the ads were easily forgettable. Nothing really stood out in my mind at all.

What does everyone else think?



BTW: I will go on record now and say this... keep your eyes peeled for a super-special Apple commercial during next year's Big Game.
The first Macintosh ad ran during the Super Bowl in 1984.

Next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the Macintosh, so it would seem to make sense that Apple will go all out on an advertisement in Super Bowl XLIII.

I think last year's was just as bad, or worse. Seems lately commercials are just trying too hard to be outrageous or funny, and it misses with me. I can't remember the last great superbowl commercial, so it's either been too long, been too forgettable, or both.

I watch so little television, and football is very low on my priority queue. Despite that, my 9yo daughter decided she wanted to watch the Super Bowl (school influence), and I saw a couple of the commercials. I thought the FedEx one was pretty good (pigeons). I also saw the Victoria Secret commercial online. Ahem, well, yes, um, let's hear it for post game activities. *^_^*

I thought the game was only good in the fourth quarter. But as for the ads i thought the Victoria's Secret, of course. And the the one energy drink commercial where he has the jumper cables connected to his, pecks, uh yea, and he starts the car, we actually tried seeing how much watts your body gives off in my physics class so that is what made it interesting to me. Seeing Shaq on that horse Hilarious.

Oh Yea the Audi R8 commercial was pretty god too. the whole Godfather feeling was pretty sweet.

Yes this year and last the commerical were just bad. Normally Budweiser would come through, but not this time. They were better than the rest thou.

I loved the E-trade commercials with the baby. "I really underestimated the creepiness of the clown."

I though bud and bud light had some pretty decent commercials... especially the on with the wheel.

"were never making the party"

"I invent wheel"

"wheel sucks"

"bottle opener sucks"

or along the lines...

can't even sit through a football game to watch them. if they're good they'll be all over the place anyway.

Superbowl ads, IMO, need to be extremely over the top to be any good. What's the point in spending all that money if they're not going over the top with it.
The Pepsi ad for their diet pop with the energy one was the only one i remember. I knew it was going to be for the drink the entire time. I like how they did the Night at the Roxbury thing and Chris Katan comes at the end.
