Superbowl commercial SitRep

So far, the best is the Audi commercial with the vampires.



The kids like the Government Motors' commercials, especially the one of the kid who thinks he's getting a Camaro.

The Budweiser and Coca-Cola ads are stupid.  The Telefloria ad was so dumb that I actually think I'm stupider having watched it.  I sure hope that's temporary.

More as I get around to it.

[20:20] Madonna is entertainment for mutants and farm animals.  Just sayin'.

[20:35] Betty White FTW.  The show looks dumb, but the commercial made me laugh.

BTW, I'm watching on DVR, so my timestamps may not match real time. Actually, it looks like I'm about 20 minutes behind.

[21:15] The Seinfeld Acura ad was funny once.  So far, they've played it three times.  And Clint Eastwood sold out to the People's Automotive Collective #2.

[21:21] Matthew Broderick must think he's Jerry Seinfeld.  Fail.

[21:34] OK, this made me laugh out loud.



[21:38] The Samsung Galaxy Note commercial may be the dumbest thing I've seen all evening. What a waste of marketing budget.

[21:51] If SPOA wasn't enough to make me think that GoDaddy should die screaming in a fire, their commercials are.  FAIL.

[22:20] I don't know how I missed this one.  Thanks to Aretae and Ruth for pointing it out.  #2 Son and I LOLed.

Oikos Yogurt & Doritos.

I liked the coke polar bears, ok, they're cheesy, but I can't help it.

The greek yogurt commercial made me laugh so hard.....

A remarkably forgettable collection of commercials. Imagine if the Oikos yogurt commercial had the roles reversed. And the kid who pees in the pool --- really? I can't remember what they were selling.

The M&Ms one had the whole Raptor Clan in stitches.

All of them pretty much sucked in our group's opinion... The teleflora one we all thought was another Go Daddy commercial until the end...

General rule: any Super Bowl that lacks a good Budweiser Clydesdale ad is going to be a weak one ad-wise.

The only one I saw that was at all memorable was the dog-race one, and that only because it was pleasantly surreal.

I liked the one for Swamp People. Why? Any commercial that promotes the legal use of firearms and legal hunting is great by me.

Glenn B said...

Even though I liked the Swamp People commercial, I have to say, the best cpommercial was the yogurt commercial, by far.

Oh, I should also mention the VW ad with the overweight dog.

As for the yogurt ad, maybe I read too much of Dr Helen's blog, but it just looked nasty to me.

The Doritos granny/baby launch was my favorite.

Clint didn't just sell out to Chrysler, he sold out to the .gov, and their current fantasy of how to save the auto industry. If this halftime, Detroit is getting stomped 56-0 and they are trading any players still capable of taking the field to the other team during the musical interlude.

The Doritos dog commercial, the VW dog (especially the Mos Eisley ending), and the yoghurt commercial, of the ones I watched.

Confidential to Madonna: when you're the headliner for a Super Bowl halftime, that's a pretty good indication you're too old and your career is about over.

See: Jagger, Mick; Prince; Jackson, Janet.

Drudge reports that the Clint Eastwood "Dertroit" commercial was filmed in LosAngeles and NewOrleans...

My take away on the Audi commercial was that Audi owners are so stupid they can vaporize all their friends, then walk into the disintegration rays them selves to examine the evidence.
