Super Bowl Commercials - The Good, Bad, and Insane
This year, with 100% more insanity...
With NBC crowing about selling out their entire Super Bowl ad compliment in a particularly crappy economy, there were high expectations.
Well, there were expectations that the spots would, at the very least, be entertaining. For the most part, they succeeded. Here's our take on this year's commercials:
The Good
Call us suckers for the cute, fluffy animals. Budweiser's Clydesdales always are "aww"-worthy, and Pedigree had some awesome "when animals attack" bits in their ad. Here are our faves:
Budweiser Clydesdale Circus:
Clydesdales Stick:
Pedigree Crazy Pets:
Honorable Mention: (For excellent use of workplace violence...) Doritos Crystal Ball:
The Bad
We get that mostly dudes watch the Super Bowl. But do dudes really need their worst perceptions of women reinforced through crappy ads by companies desperate to make back the money they spent on selling NBC the ad? Here are the offenders for gross stupidity:
GoDaddy.com: The Shower (is there ever a commercial they do in good taste?):
(Get it? Two chicks showering together LOLOLOL.)
Pepsi Man Soda:
Firestone: Mr. Potato Head:
Teleflora: Talking Flowers:
(Make her thorny, Teleflora, really?)
The Insane
Some of these commercials are bad (I'm looking at you, Sobe), but some are just totally nuts. They are the sort of ads that make people want to become Mad Men, just so they can flaunt their insanity. Here are the most surreal ads of the night:
Cheetos: Chester the Cheetah:
(Fly my pretties, fly!)
Sobe Lizards: Lizard Ballet:
Careerbuilder.com: Tips:
(aka: The economy sucks, but dare to dream you'll find a better job.)
How about you? What were your faves?
