Super Bowl Commercials

[kakn7294]

Being Steeler fans and having a completely obsessed hubby, we had to listen to the radio broadcast for the game (even had to take the laptop to Florida to listen via internet for AFC title game) so I was only allowed to watch the commercials for the first and part of the second quarters. I can't say I was overly impressed with any of them but the Darth Vader kid was my favorite of what I did see.

Another I liked that no one has mentioned was the Fox promo with House and the little kid doing a takeoff on the old Coca Cola Mean Joe Green commercial. Made me laugh out loud!

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one! That was funny ... a hit in our house, as well.

I think it was Career Builder, I always like them, the commercial where the human worker gets blocked in on both sides by the monkeys parking their cars.

Ugh, not me. I have never understood why monkeys in commercials are funny.

I liked the Snickers commercial with Richard Lewis and Roseanne Barr (thought maybe some others might have liked it for the log that decked her). And the Darth Vader one was cute. The Doritos "Best Part" commercial was gross, but I couldn't help laughing at it. And I liked all the snippets of old sitcoms they showed in the nfl.com commercial. But where was the heart-warming Anheiser Busch clydesdales ad? Just showing them at the beginning of that "wild west" commercial was lame.

I'll take the a step farther and say I've never understood why monkeys are funny period.

That goes for movies, commercials, print ads, websites or anything.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO played!

Chimpanzees are great apes not monkeys. A monkey could not drive a car.

Tomatoes, tomahtoes. They are still decidedly un-funny to me. =

After reading these posts, I am so glad I am not alone thinking that The Half Time Show was AWFUL!!!!
From Christina flubbed the National Anthem, right on down. Get rid of the "Pop" stars.

Kind of think the old rockers, gave much better shows...Bruce, Tom Petty, The Who, Rolling Stones, even Prince were good. They get the "stadium" event.

Commercials...LOVED little Darth Vader and his powers. LOVE that Death Star music!! It made the commercial!
OK...I've said my peace.
Hope we have a Superbowl at all next year. NO NFL LOCKOUT!

Totally agree with you, Beth. I find them creepy.

It was a slim year for good commercials, but I did like the Darth Vader commercial (although I saw it on Facebook a week or so before the Super Bowl).

One no one else mentioned that I thought was great was the Bud Light product placement commercial (Medieval movie knights sword fighting while holding bottles of Bud Light with the labels facing the camera). It aired early in the first half.

I also wasn't a big fan of the halftime show.

Kathy, this is SO random, but I was in Disney in January from the 11-18 and being from Baltimore (ahem! Love my Ravens!), my friend and I were CONSTANTLY checking the score of their game vs the Steelers that Saturday we were there. We ran into a couple on the bus with a teenage son and the husband was wearing a Steelers jacket on the bus, after the game was over and we were coming back from Downtown Disney. We ended up getting into a bit of a conversation with them, as someone misinterpreted the jacket and thought the man was a Ravens fan . I'm curious now if you may have been the wife of that man!

ON topic, I really only cared for the Eminem-Chrysler commercial and the kid Darth Vader one. While the half-time show was...interesting, my little sister and I got a great laugh out of the dancers with boxes on their heads!
