Superbowl Commercials

[vex]

Magic Fridge, not bad:)

[MrBug708]

FedEx was pretty funny

[vex]

FedEx was pretty funny
That was great :D

[Bearcat729]

Bud Light has had a few good ones tonight

[sterlingice]

The FedEx one I really liked.

SI

[Eaglesfan27]

The FedEx one has been my favorite so far.

[vex]

Wow, the Diet Pepsi one REALLY sucked.

[kingfc22]

Ugh, Diet Pepsi you suck.

[mauchow]

Brown and Bubbly...

seriously...

[ThunderingHERD]

terrible, terrible diet pepsi commercial

[Eaglesfan27]

Has there always been movies advertising during the Super Bowl? If so, it still seems like there are a lot more this year.

[sterlingice]

There tend to be ~5ish movies advertised per year, in my recollection. Usually they're for stuff coming in a couple of months, not now.

SI

[mauchow]

^^

"Click" looks funny, but it seems like they may have showed all the funny parts, although probably not. I'm sure it will be good.

[mauchow]

That wasn't too shabby.. Aleve

[mauchow]

OOKAY, that was good!

[mauchow]

Bud Light leading the way.

[vex]

Ameriquest continuing with their theme from last year, but I really liked it.

[miami_fan]

Best group of commercials so far

[sterlingice]

Bud Light leading the way.Kindof funny but I expect more from them.

SI

[MrBug708]

That Budlight wasnt that funny til the toolbox fell through

[vex]

That was better for Diet Pepsi, but still sucked.

[MrBug708]

Heh...lame but in a funny way...Jackie Chan shouldnt be on Super Bowl Commericals

[kingfc22]

Diet Pepsi has been HORRIBLE, BK was very weak too.

Magic fridge and the Ameriquest have been my favorites so far.

[Young Drachma]

Diet Pepsi is annoying. Ameriquest was pretty funny.

[kingfc22]

HAHA!!! Budweiser rocks.

[vex]

Meh, didn't really care for that Bud commercial.

[twothree]

:D :D :D

streaker

[Bearcat729]

Streaker is the funniest yet

[Eaglesfan27]

Career Builder got a small chuckle.

Not impressed by the Cadillac commercial.

[kingfc22]

I hope MI:3 is more like MI:2 then MI;1.

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm pretty sure I've seen 5 movie commercials already (4 since the game started.)

[ThunderingHERD]

interesting choice to prominently feature philip seymour hoffman in the MI3 ad.

[Eaglesfan27]

Well, a lot of people (maybe not a lot, but tens of thousands in the mental health field) are boycotting any movies with Tom.

[GrantDawg]

Well, a lot of people (maybe not a lot, but tens of thousands in the mental health field) are boycotting any movies with Tom.
Me, too. But that's becuase they generally suck.

[hukarez]

Well, a lot of people (maybe not a lot, but tens of thousands in the mental health field) are boycotting any movies with Tom.But he's going to save the world with scientology!

[st.cronin]

That Cadillac commercial reminds me: US auto makers really shouldn't complain about losing market share when they make things like Escalades and that new Lincoln pick up truck. I mean, come on - who buys that shit??

[Eaglesfan27]

Yet, another movie commercial.

[GrantDawg]

That Cadillac commercial reminds me: US auto makers really shouldn't complain about losing market share when they make things like Escalades and that new Lincoln pick up truck. I mean, come on - who buys that shit??

People who'll spend $12,000 on spinners?

[vex]

Michelob, nice :D

[RPI-Fan]

That "Shaggy Dog" movie looks horrendous.

I liked the "Being Green" commercial.

[Eaglesfan27]

As a group, light beer is winning.

[twothree]

I love it when she's wide open.

[kingfc22]

Michelob, nice :DYea, gave me a chuckle.

[Chief Rum]

You were open, but now you're CLOSED!!!

lmao

[Eaglesfan27]

You were open, but now you're CLOSED!!!

lmao
That was my favorite line from the commercial :)

[ThunderingHERD]

There's no way Tim Allen can live up to the impossibly high standard set by Rob Schneider in <i>The Animal</i>.

[Eaglesfan27]

Godaddy is a tease.

[vex]

Note to moviemakers: People don't watch the SB commercials to see your ads.

[GrantDawg]

There's no way Tim Allen can live up to the impossibly high standard set by Rob Schneider in The Animal.

Screw that. He can't touch the hair on Fred MacMurray's butt.

[GrantDawg]

BRILLIANT!!!

[st.cronin]

God I wish they would stop making the Mustang. Stupidest car ever.

[JW]

At the half, magic fridge best commercial of an unimpressive lot; diet pepsi commercials perhaps worst ever.

[LoneStarGirl]

I thought the diet pepsi commercial was cute when they put in the diet coke as the stunt double

[GrantDawg]

I'd give FED EX by a nose. And of course, I'm completely intrigued by the new Camry Hybrid. I think I'll contact a handy Toyota salesman to pay full MSRP for one. :)

[Chas in Cinti]

I liked the first bud light commercial... the office riot...

:)

-Chas

[Honolulu_Blue]

I liked the Streaker. The Michelob ad was pretty good, as was the Career builder.

The Bud Light ads have been weak sauce. I thought the Fed Ex one was lame as well.

What the hell is up with razor commercials? It's a freaking razor. That's it.

So far nothing has been all that memorable.

What's up with those spots featuring Steeler players talking about winning the Super Bowl and posing with the trophy? I would never do that. You don't touch the trophy until you win it.

[Craptacular]

The commercials sucked overall ... the first couple Bud Light ones had potential, but didnt finish strong (the roof one was a notable exception).

[Eaglesfan27]

I'd give FED EX by a nose. And of course, I'm completely intrigued by the new Camry Hybrid. I think I'll contact a handy Toyota salesman to pay full MSRP for one. :)
:D on the car. I'll probably buy one in a few years when I need my next car, but you are a fair distance away from me ;)





I also liked the FedEx best by a small bit.

[sabotai]

Yet, another movie commercial.I've noticed a lot of movie commercials during the SB, too. I think it started when Independance Day ran an ad during the Super Bowl, just the part where they blow up the White House. The next day at school, I remember everyone talking about that "Holy shit. Did you seen that? I HAVE to see that movie!".

Ever since then, I've noticed a lot of "coming this summer" movie commercials.

[GrantDawg]

:D on the car. I'll probably buy one in a few years when I need my next car, but you are a fair distance away from me ;)





I also liked the FedEx best by a small bit.
Don't worry. I'll fed ex you the papers and have it delivered to your door. I go the extra mile for my customers. :)

[sabotai]

You were open, but now you're CLOSED!!!

lmaoI really liked that one too. :D

I liked the FedEx and the streaker ones too.

BK, Diet Pepsi, please fire your ad agencies.

Unless, for you BK, your ad agency came up with the King commericals. They can stay, but please get them in line. Seriously.

[Eaglesfan27]

Don't worry. I'll fed ex you the papers and have it delivered to your door. I go the extra mile for my customers. :)

Sounds good (except for paying the MSRP part ;))

:D

[Eaglesfan27]

Not Fabio!

[LoneStarGirl]

That clydesdale commercial for Budweiser was a good one, even though it wasn't funny.

[sterlingice]

Good use of Fabio, actually. What looked like "I can't believe it's not shampoo" makes fun of him. Kindof like making Jar Jar responsible for the Empire since no one likes him.

SI

[sterlingice]

That clydesdale commercial for Budweiser was a good one, even though it wasn't funny.Agreed.

SI

[terpkristin]

Wendy and I like the magic fridge one, and most of the Bud Light and Budweiser ads (the one with the clydes was SOOOOOOOOO awesome), and we're sort of partial to the Disney ads. :)

/tk

[Eaglesfan27]

9 or 10 movies at least now. That is what I was getting at earlier. If they kept up the pace (which they have for the most part), I think this SB might set a record for most movie commercials.

[GrantDawg]

Go Go Tacoma!

[kingfc22]

The ad for Grey's Anatomy just made me realize that this is the first Super Bowl in a while to not have a TV show with a zillion of ads.

[TheOhioStateUniversity]

I used to love that show Mcguyver

[GrantDawg]

I used to love that show Mcguyver

Always hated it, but loved the commercial.

[TheOhioStateUniversity]

Well maybe I loved it because I was younger, it was interesting how he always thought of a way to get out of everything. Granted I was probably in elementary school when I really watched it.

[DaddyTorgo]

LOL @ godaddy ad

[GrantDawg]

Well maybe I loved it because I was younger, it was interesting how he always thought of a way to get out of everything. Granted I was probably in elementary school when I really watched it.
That's ok. The Dukes of Hazard was really cool when I was in elementary school.

[Pumpy Tudors]

What's up with those spots featuring Steeler players talking about winning the Super Bowl and posing with the trophy? I would never do that. You don't touch the trophy until you win it.Silly man. You're confusing that replica thing they make every year to a real trophy. :)

[cuervo72]

I have to lamely admit that the commercial that gave me the biggest laugh was the Sprint commercial "tribute" (if you will) to Benny Hill.

[Eaglesfan27]

That was my 4th favorite.

My top 3:

1. FedEx

2. Streaker

3. The ad with the girl getting tackled.

[cuervo72]

I think I missed the first two unfortunately. #3 was one of my favorites too.

[Barkeep49]

My top 4:
1. FedEx
2. Ameriquest Hospital
3. Magic Fridge
4. MacGyver

[flounder]

LOL, I think my ABC station blacked out the streaker commercial because I don't remember seeing it. I did see about 30 seconds of blank screen around the 1:06 mark. Is that when the commercial came on?

[Craptacular]

Is that when the commercial came on?I would hope not. I won't ruin the surprise (in case you care), but it was nothing even close to what you probably think it was.

[flounder]

I know. I just watched it over at iFilm. I'm just curious if someone at my ABC affiliate really found it so disturbing it had to be censored. I hope it was just a glitch.

[LoneStarGirl]

I thought that streak commercial was one of the best. Thumbs up to Bud light

[Rizon]

LOL @ godaddy ad

I went to the website to see the rejected videos and all the links are broken. Nice.

[astrosfan64]

I liked the Streaker. The Michelob ad was pretty good, as was the Career builder.

The Bud Light ads have been weak sauce. I thought the Fed Ex one was lame as well.

Sounds like a hockey superstistion. I don't think they have that one in football.

[PackerFanatic]

I liked the one where the dude threw the cellphone at the other dude, can't remember the company.

No Miller commericials and an ass-load of Bud commericials, interesting...

[illinifan999]

I liked the one with the guy throwing his cellphone at the other guy.

[watravaler]

Don't let these companies brainwash you! Turn the channel!

[JonInMiddleGA]

The throwing-the-cellphone was/is Sprint I think.

Most of the spots are viewable at espn.com BTW (I just finished watching all of the ones I missed, which was most of them)

[kiwiLB57]

Crap. Once again we dont get the commercials shown here. We get lame ESPN International commercials to fill the ad spots and lame international type commentators explaining what a first down is etc etc. Enjoyed the game though. Public holiday here by coincidence and a relaxing 12.30pm kickoff in 30 degree heat (celsius). Went around to a mates place who had about 20 of the lads around for the game on the big screen.

Extremly trashed right now (and only 6.30pm) and looking forward to resigning from my job tomorrow.

Good Times.

kiwiLB57

[sabotai]

Yeah, the streaker was great...

Still won't drink their shitty beer, though. :)

[Desnudo]

I enjoyed most of the commercials this year. I thought the airplane Ameriquest one was very funny. I also really liked the "now you're closed!" commercial.

[JeeberD]

I also liked the "You might as well face it, you're addicted to Lost" one. Never seen an episode though... :)

[sterlingice]

I know no one else even had it on their list but I loved that Emerald Nuts commercial.

SI

[sterlingice]

Wendy and I like the magic fridge one, and most of the Bud Light and Budweiser ads (the one with the clydes was SOOOOOOOOO awesome), and we're sort of partial to the Disney ads. :)

/tk*insert joke about tk's girlfriend here*

SI

[ISiddiqui]

My ranking:

1) Ameriquest (1st better than the 2nd, but both great)
2) Budweiser Horses ("streaker" and the baby horse)
3) FedEx
4) Mastercard McGuyver
5) Guy tacking girl (Bud? Miller?)

[Raiders Army]

1. "I'm open": Michelob
2. Crime Protection: Sprint
3. Magic Fridge: Budweiser
4. Office Riot: Budweiser
5. "I'm going to Disneyworld": Disney

[rkmsuf]

The one I remember the most ironically is the Burger King one with the girls dressed up as food. I was just staring at it for the first 15 seconds like "WTF?" and then at the end when they swung in and fell on each other to make a hamburger I just burst out laughing. I was hoping they'd play it again.

[Samdari]

Well, a lot of people (maybe not a lot, but tens of thousands in the mental health field) are boycotting any movies with Tom.

And, umm, women. At least those who have ever been pregnant.

[Raven Hawk]

Nobody mentioned the Bud Light bear commercial. I found that amusing.

My favorite, though was Sprint.

"Well, my cell phone has a theft deterrent system. Try to take my wallet. . . "

:D

[Butter]

I know no one else even had it on their list but I loved that Emerald Nuts commercial.

SI
I thought they were trying to stretch their original concept just a bit too far.

But I'm with H_B, I was surprised to see the pictures of the players/coaches cozying up to the trophy (replica or not). Just seemed bad form.

[SFL Cat]

God I wish they would stop making the Mustang. Stupidest car ever.

There is a special place reserved in hell for people like you who say such things. :mad:

As for commercials... Top 5

1. Ameriquest "That killed him."
2. MacGyver Master Card
3. Sprint "Crime Deterrent."
4. The Beer commercial where the chick gets clocked after catching a pass during the touch football game.
5. The "Streaker" during the Horse football game.

[BYU 14]

My top 3
Fed Ex
Sprint Crime deterrent
Magic Fridge

Props to the Ameriquest commericals as well, great job following up on the theme from last year, though that guy getting his Ass kicked in the convience store is still the best of the lot IMO.

The Pepsi commercials were horrible and GoDaddy had to be the most adieu abouth nothing.

And in a "sensitive side" moment, I actually found the Budweiser commercial with the Pony pulling the wagon very touching......Don't know what hidden meaning that has...........................Must be a parent thing, yeah thats it :)

[Bee]

My top 3:

Magic Fridge
Chick getting clocked
the steaker

None were very good, pretty weak crop IMO. Not as bad as the halftime show though...

[Karlifornia]

The commericals by and large were very weak. The Diet Pepsi ones were, quite possibly, the worst ever for a Super Bowl. Jay Mohr and Jackie Chan should donate the money they were paid for them to either starving children's charities, or lobotomies for the Pepsi Ad Agency.

[Eaglesfan27]

I agree that as a group, it was a weak offering this year.

[Glengoyne]

Brown and Bubbly...

seriously...I can't imagine Brown and Bubbly surviving the Pitch Room. Seriously, If Brown and Bubbly is what you stake your career on pitching to Pepsi, I can't believe that person still has a job. Was this an Apprentice competition or something?

[sterlingice]

I dunno- when was the last year people actually said "the year was strong". Again, not using this year as an example- I thought it was around average after significantly sub par offerings last year and the year before. After every year, more than half the people who watch it say "it's the worst year" or "it's a bad year"- it's just everyone remembering only the good ones from year's past versus all the commercials from the current year.

SI

Every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.

I left something brown and bubbly in the toilet earlier, and only part of it was Diet Pepsi.

[SFL Cat]

I believe this falls under the TMI category

[TazFTW]

My top 3 are

1. Michelob "A little darker". "You were open and now you are closed!" Closest thing to bringing back Terry Tate, Office Linebacker.

2. FedEx

3. McGuyver Mastercard commercial

I also liked "magic fridge", the Ameriquest commercials, and Sprint's Crime Deterrent.
