Super Bowl commercials
 
OK, I'll admit I missed a lot of them. Out of the ones I saw, the only amusing ones were the Chevrolet soap commercial and the Willie Nelson advice doll / H&R block commercial. The Cedric bikini wax one was OK, but not nearly as good as some of his previous ones.

What were some of your favorites?

Suicane75 02-01-2004 11:54 PM

Well, there were a bunch of teenage fellons, a bunch of pre teen kids going around saying Holy Shit. The only I found remotely funny was the bears buying the pepsi. Actually the 2 best commercials i saw were at the end of Survivor with all the old TV Maids and Butlers and there was another one I liked but I dont remember it.

EagleFan 02-01-2004 11:54 PM

I didn't see a lot of them but my favorites that I did see were the Chevy 'soap' one and the Budweiser ref one (I thought they were going with Pallace Guard at first, the way he was standing there not moving a muscle). The Pepsi 'Napster' one was okay.

None really stood out to me though.

The Lays potato chips when the old couple were fighting for the bag of chips. Golden :)

ISiddiqui 02-01-2004 11:55 PM

The Bud one with the dogs going after the beer in their own ways :D.

Also the Bud one with the donkey.

And the Bud one with the ref tuning out the crowd noise.

Oh yeah! LOL!

SFL Cat 02-01-2004 11:58 PM

The Lays commercial was my favorite!

Peregrine 02-01-2004 11:58 PM

I didn't think there were many noticeably good ads, myself. I liked the NFL Network one a lot though.

Forgot about that one. :)

My favorite was the bears with the Pepsi, although I really liked the Budweiser donkey commercial because it was incredibly cute. I wasn't impressed by any of the other commercials, really. My fiancee liked the Pizza Hut commercial with Jessica Simpson and the Muppets, but that was actually shown before the game started (although it was in the game's time slot, if that makes sense).

EagleFan 02-02-2004 12:07 AM

Oh, and I also have to say that I liked the one with Jerry Jones singing the song from Annie.

Yes, that was a good one.

I liked the FedEx ad with the alien coworker.

Bubba Wheels 02-02-2004 12:38 AM

The whole SuperBowl/Commericials thing is overhyped. That's what we all get for being stuck in this time of year, just desperate for something to take our minds off of all the cold, white stuff still hanging around outside for another 2 months. If this was the middle of summer it would all be a big yawn.

I don't understand this :confused:

It was in the high 70's-low 80's today.... :D

Bastard.

Tasan 02-02-2004 01:33 AM

My favorites were the Mastercard/Simpsons one and the NFL Networks/Tomorrow! one. The NFL Networks almost had me pissing my pants. Honorable mention to one of the first of the night, H&R Block Willie Nelson Doll.

SuburbanPimp 02-02-2004 03:33 AM

I gotta second the FedEx Alien ad. That was damn funny.

But it wasn't as good as my dad trying to explain the Bud Light "Rocket Sleigh" ad to my mum while laughing his ass off. I guess the fart joke is still timeless.

vex 02-02-2004 03:40 AM

I liked the Donkey/Clydesdale one.

corbes 02-02-2004 09:40 AM

Yeah, Donkey/Clydesdale was my favorite.

OldGiants 02-02-2004 11:10 AM

I liked the Aerosmith Viagra ad and the Janet Jackson Maidenform one.

Oh, wait.....

FrogMan 02-02-2004 11:11 AM

didn't get any of them cool ads up here in Canada... :( I think we're the only one on the planet not getting them...

As much as I love the Simpsons, I didn't think that commercial was funny at all.

Yes. You and every other country that is not America, I think. I watched the Sky Sports broadcast, they just had your standard British commercials. The AFN shows freakish jingoistic/lifestyle commercials. Has anyone ever watched these? They are amazing. They feel like something you'd see in a war movie satire. Very strange and off-putting.

I haven't seen the "Superbowl" commercials for two years now. It's a bit of a shame, but I don't really miss it all that much. The worst part is the game not starting until 12:30 and not finishing until around 4:30/5:00 am. Well, that's not the worst part either, the worst part is having to get up and go to work the next day.

Kodos 02-02-2004 12:04 PM

I thought they were mostly crappy.

And why did anyone like the Pepsi bears commercial. Since when do they ID people for buying Pepsi? It made no sense...

Yeah, when you have to insert something that makes no sense into your joke just to be able to get you to the punchline, you should probably crumple up that piece of paper, toss it in the can, and start over. Or make it into a Super Bowl ad, I guess.

They paid with a check.

Kodos 02-02-2004 12:54 PM

Ahh, yes.

It was still a crappy commercial...

What happened to Terry Tate? I hyped his return up to all my friends and he was nowhere to be found.

GoSeahawks 02-02-2004 01:20 PM

I thought the commercials were terrible this year. I really can't think of one that stands out.

I was hoping to see Tate as well.

ISiddiqui 02-02-2004 01:34 PM

I wanted to see a 'Leon' commerical. That would have been great!

I thought he was Darrin Steven's boss.

Reebok didn't want to spend the cash for another SB ad, so they made a 3 minute spot available on the website, for all of you lucky bastards with fast internet connections. :)
