Superbowl Commercial Thread - up or down?

[MrScorpio]

Bud Light - Breathing Fire

Audi Sports car - Godfather Spoof

Up or down, folks?

[Chovexani]

1. Firebreathing was good

The Audi? Meh.

[MrScorpio]

3. Firebreathing made me laugh

But, I was impressed by the fact that they actually pulled an actor from the Godfather to do that commercial... That was the extent of my impression

[pokerfan]

71. DQ did it better

And the fire breathing one is a blatant ripoff of a DQ commercial from a couple of years ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUOqFV_v5po

Disappointing commercials so far.

[SeattleGirl]

2. I liked the Bud commercial.

Audi was okay.

[MrScorpio]

4. Pepsi Max, Salesgenie.com,

Pepsi Max was pretty funny

Salesgenie: BLECHH!

[Chovexani]

10. Salesgenie is lame

I'm mixed on Pepsi Max. It was chuckleworthy but Night at the Roxbury jokes are way played out.

So far Bud Light is winning. Beer baguette was genius. :rofl:

[Debi]

12. Pepsi Max good (especially the end)

Salesgenie SUCKED!

[flvegan]

5. I spit my beer out at that last PepsiMax commercial.

When what's his name came out of the cleaning place and said "Stop it!"

That was damn funny.

[SeattleGirl]

7. I liked that one too.

[Shakespeare]

8. That would be tiny little Chris Kattan.

That was GREAT.

[malta blue]

6. the Bud light cheese/baguette was funny....

the UnderArmour sneaker "the future is our's" :puke:

[Debi]

13. Cute, but not really 'new'

Underarmour? Mr. Debi says 'all that for a pair of shoes?' I reminded him that he has Under Armour gear for hunting and he replied "all that for a pair of underwear?" x(

[MrScorpio]

9. Bud Light Cheese, Under Armour

Bud Light always good

Again the second commercial. Blech!

[Debi]

11. Fire breather good - Audi sports car bad n/t

[MrScorpio]

14. Bridgestone and Doritos

Unimpressed on both counts

[Debi]

16. Agreed on Bridgestone...the other was Doritos

I thought it was cute.

[MrScorpio]

22. Go Daddy, Dell

Go Daddy: Down

Dell: Not bad

[Debi]

15. Aacckk Doritos earworm

:bounce: That was a cute song!

bum bum bum bum bum bum

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. I like the bridgestone one -

but then, I'm just a sucker for rabbits and squirrels.

[malta blue]

27. Me too....anything with squirrels automatically gets high

points with me.

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. Like these?

[bluhoodie]

51. Me too. The squirrel one was very cute, and your pic too

Just saw the dancing lizards one (LifeWater ?) and thought "Acckk! another one with CUTE little animals." The squirrel ad did get the point across -- tires that could swerve to avoid flattening the little critter.

[bluhoodie]

62. Pepsi with Justin Timberlake - - OUCH!!

Now THAT one I thought was creepy, the jerkiness of his flying around, then slamming into the mailbox pole. OWWWWWW! Yuck. Of course his cute smile at the end was appealing. But yuck, that wouldn't make me want a Pepsi.

[bluhoodie]

66. I didn't expect to like the Charles Barkley one but it was pretty funny

T-Mobile. Seemed like a long commercial too, though I didn't time it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. iTunes - one of the shittiest commercials I've ever seen.

Definitely not Super Bowl worthy - hell, hardly even American Idol worthy, and those watchers are the dumbest fucking demographic in the country.

[Debi]

20. Aaaarrrggghhhh n/t

[ellisonz]

49. Yeah, that one was just plain crappy.

[Chovexani]

19. Wanted ad.

ANGELINA.

...I think I need a cold shower.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. No shit! Crikey.

:blush:

AND it looks like it could be a totally wicked cool movie!

[Debi]

21. Debi, Jr. is all over the GoDaddy ad

???? Dell ad

[Fleshdancer]

23. Ok, so the GoDaddy.com commercial was creepy

look! boobies! :wtf:

[Debi]

25. Talking stain ad was CRAZY! n/t

[MrScorpio]

26. FedEx, Cars.Com, TalkingStain

Three good ones in a row

FedEx was pure genius

[SeattleGirl]

29. Loved the FecEx commercial.

The other two were good as well.

[Chovexani]

31. Giant pigeons of DOOM

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. I laughed out loud at the FedEx one!

:rofl:

[Raven]

30. Absolutely! The "Silence the Stain" ad. Fabulous! n/t

[Fleshdancer]

33. CUUUTE Bud commerical eom

[SeattleGirl]

38. Loved it.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[malta blue]

34. the Rocky clydesdale....

good ad.

[Bozita]

35. Rocky, the Budweiser horse -- super

[Chovexani]

36. That was adorable

The high five at the end killed me. :rofl:

[MrScorpio]

37. Budweiser Rocky, Iron Man

Both great

I want to see Iron Man!

[malta blue]

39. is that Robert Downey Jr in the movie?

:drool:

[MrScorpio]

40. Yep, He's Tony Stark

Inspired choice, if you understand the character

[Chovexani]

41. The most inspired bit of comics movie casting

Since Patrick Stewart as Professor X.

[malta blue]

42. I will have to investigate further....

Thanks :hi:

[MrScorpio]

43. Corolla: badgers, Leatherheads Commercial, Garmin

All pretty good

Corolla the best of the three

[malta blue]

44. I loved the badger one....

Garmin was good too.

[MrScorpio]

45. Careerbuilder, Lifewater, Anti-Drug

High creepy factor for all three

[bluhoodie]

52. The anti-drug was *supposed* to be creepy

IMHO.

[Bozita]

46. Four stars for the dancing lizards

[SeattleGirl]

47. That one cracked me up.

[ellisonz]

48. Vitamin Water has competition.

[Debi]

53. I liked the fat lizard n/t

[MrScorpio]

50. Yukon hybrid, Bud Light

GMC, boring incarnate

Bud light, saw it before, not bad

[pstokely]

83. What's the point of a Hybrid GMC Yukon?

Most SUV drivers don't care about fuel economy

[SeattleGirl]

84. That's kind of a broad-brush statement.

Some folks need a larger vehicle for their families, or their jobs. I bet they appreciate the opportunity to get a hybrid SUV.

[pstokely]

129. I said most, not all.

A Hummer hybrid would be a total failure sales wise

[Debi]

54. Yea!!! New Narnia movie!

:bounce:

[ellisonz]

55. Planter's Cashews.

Creepy Creepy Creepy.

[bluhoodie]

68. But funny -- loved the slapstick aspects &

the take-off on Ugly Betty too.

[ellisonz]

74. Maybe I'm just not the target market.

Male, Young :shrug:

[Bozita]

56. Three stars for sex appeal from Planters' cashews

[MrScorpio]

57. Narnia Sequel, Planters, Verizon

Three good ones

The Planters spot killed!

[Debi]

58. Doritos

Mice kick ass :P

[petronius]

61. Best so far!

:rofl:

[fishwax]

63. i agree

:rofl:

[MrScorpio]

67. My fave is the Pigeons of Doom

[petronius]

69. 'Pigeons' was awesome - I have that a very close second (nt)

[MrScorpio]

59. Timberlake Pepsistuff.com, Doritos

Two good ones

Still laughing from Doritos

[ellisonz]

60. Justin TImberlake getting hit in the head by a car door.

And having his crotch slammed into a street lamp poll repeatedly.

Thank you Pepsi. But I'll stick to Coke.

[Rabrrrrrr]

70. If it had ended with him being executed by the corpse of Stockhausen,

I'd buy a case of Pepsi every day, even though I don't drink soda. They're stand for artistic integrity and merit would warrant me giving them as much money as possible.


But otherwise, Timberlake is such a total fucking asshole useless clueless piece of talentless no-good shit that I won't buy anything Pepsi. Their stand for artistic non-integrity and imbecility and lowest-common-denominator shittery warrants them never, ever receiving money from me.

[ellisonz]

76. Thank you for sharing!

:applause:

[LiberalFighter]

64. All of the FOX promo commercials DOWN!!

[MrScorpio]

65. I don't even bother counting them nt

[begin_within]

121. There was a pretty funny one earlier today, for the Family Guy

which used Stewie's head, just the head, and live action football footage, of them throwing passes and running with the ball, but the ball was Stewie's head, and when a player made a touchdown, they spiked the ball (his head) and it went flying away. It made me laugh - I don't know why they aren't showing it during the game.

[begin_within]

72. Romney's commercial - enough said.

I'm not sure if that ran nationwide or just in California.

[MrScorpio]

73. Just Cali

Didn't see it in VA

[begin_within]

78. I wonder how he achieved that...

...and what ran in its place in other states. He attacked Hillary saying she has never run anything, and that she would be an "intern" in the White House - a veiled reference to Monica Lewinsky?

[Shakespeare]

75. Airing in a state where his big worry should be defeating McCain..

...I find that commercial (attacking Hillary) downright bizarre.

[petronius]

81. Yeah, I'm not sure what the point was

He could have played up his (so-called) strong points without the HC slam - unless he feels like dissing HC will make undecided Rs think he's tough? :shrug:

[MrScorpio]

80. We just got an Obama spot here

A pretty good one

[MrScorpio]

77. Haftime Commercials: Get your local spots now!

[Fox Mulder]

79. Every commercial has been crap thus far.

If this is the best companies have to offer, that's really sad.

[MrScorpio]

82. Nissan, NFL Network

Ho hum

[ironflange]

85. Budweiser Rocky -- disappointing

It sort of fizzled out at the end. It would have been greaqt to have him run up the museum stairs; I was waiting for that.

[MrScorpio]

86. A couple of cultural superiorty spots

Not even worth mentioning

The Shack spot wasn't too bad

[Bozita]

87. Shaq the jockey was hilarious.

Really made that horse look small.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

88. Justin Timberlake was good...

We cried during the Clydesdale Bud commercial...
And the Chris Katan Diet Pepsi commercial was freaking great.
Duckie

[Debi]

89. Wheel suck!

Bottle opener suck!

:7

[MrScorpio]

90. Hyundae, Wall-e

Wake me when they're over

[SeattleGirl]

91. Yeah, that Hyundae commercial was just more of the same old,

same old luxury car crap.

[Fleshdancer]

92. OMFG! eTrade talking and puking baby!

:rofl:

Gross and hilarious

[SeattleGirl]

94. ......

:rofl:

[begin_within]

98. I loved it, up until the baby puked.

There are so many cute and funny things that babies do, they could have picked something else.

[MrScorpio]

93. Jumper, Etrade, Bud Light Fly

Jumper, eh

Etrade, Oooo babies, yeah

Bud Light, da winnah!

[petronius]

95. 'Baby' and 'Fly' were both good - although I would have cut the part

of 'Fly' where the guy survived (I like a little more gruesomeness...)

[Chovexani]

96. This might even be lamer than last year

And that's saying a lot.

[MrScorpio]

97. I'm wondering even if the should even continue to kick the thread

[Chovexani]

99. The Thanksgiving balloon one was cute

[Fleshdancer]

100. The balloon commercial was great! eom

[MrScorpio]

101. Charley Brown WINS!

Sorry Stewy and Underdog

[lizziegrace]

125. That was great, wasn't it?

:)

[MrScorpio]

127. Yes, it was

Being how I'm a Charlie Brown fan

[begin_within]

102. I thought the commercial with Richard Simmons in it was the best so far.

Just pure absurdity and unexpected, with a wonderfully useless appearance by Alice Cooper and then Richard Simmons just being Richard Simmons.

[Bozita]

103. Charlie Brown gets the Coke. Good thing Lucy wasn't there.

[Bozita]

104. Carville and Frist together. DUers already knew that.

[MrScorpio]

105. Frist and Carville and boring SUV commercial

Jeez... Lame City

[SeattleGirl]

107. Glad I missed those.

I was busy making nachos.

[MrScorpio]

106. Sandler?

Let's just call it a career, eh?

[Fleshdancer]

108. "I really underestimated the creepy factor"

:rofl:

[Debi]

111. !

:thumbsup:

[Debi]

109. Baby e*trade commercial

underestimated the creepiness of the clown :rofl:

[MrScorpio]

110. Etrade baby pt 2, Fiesta Platter, Gatorade Dog

No excitement there

[Ilsa]

113. No one in my den understood the dog/water bowl/ Gatorade ad. nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

112. Rocky Clydesdale was good but

I also liked the terminator crushing that dancing robot thing.

I guess I gotta give the prize to the Rocky Clydesdale.

[MrScorpio]

114. Bud Light, Suck ONE!

[Debi]

Bud Light

suck one :beer:

[Shakespeare]

115. "Bud Light. Suck one."

:rofl:

[Fleshdancer]

116. Is a fun car commercial too much to ask for?

why are they all so boring?

[begin_within]

119. Thank you!

I don't know why they have to make every single car commercial like some kind of 30-second Science Fiction movie.

[JackBeck]

117. Most amazing?

Madonna getting $10 million for about 10 seconds of her image and song being part of the Sunsilk ad. Rather impressive for someone that always gets characterized as being "irrelevant".

[MrScorpio]

118. WOW!

And that commercial was pretty lame

[JackBeck]

120. It was a complete throwaway.

And yet she got 10 million for Sunsilk using a song that's almost 10 years old, an image that was the cover of her album that is even older, and dancing footage that was a somewhat more current. And people say she's irrelevant.

[Debi]

122. Okay, that was wrong

x( Nipple clamps???

[Fleshdancer]

124. Janet Jackson nipple flash bad. Man clamping both nipples not bad.

I just don't get it.

[Debi]

126. One made $$ for the corp - one cost the corp $$

or else it's 'we don't fine FOX' :shrug:

[MrScorpio]

123. Vicky Secrets, Amp, Pina Colada

Winding down

[begin_within]

128. Highly unusual Super Bowl - game is a thriller, commercials are duds

Usually the commercials are better than the game.
