Here too. Toshiba spot was kinda clever, though. ---

Budweiser: Those crabs sound a lot like the aliens from Toy Story. “The beer cooler is our master!” Prudential: Yeah, Iraq can do a lot of things. Oh wait, that’s “a rock.” Never mind. ---

Arrg. My laptop spontaneously rebooted just as I posted. We had just one “Superbowl” commercial, the rest were local ads. I liked the Bud commercial with the crabs. ---

Ummm, I should have said we had mostly local commercials at the third/fourth quater break. HP: not worthy of Superbowl time. Izod: fluff. Budweiser: Virtual football. I liked it. I wish I had a game like that. ---

careerbuilder: another good one. I think I actually have that many binder clips in my drawer at work. Maybe I better think more about being a team player. ---

It’s just now 10:00pm EST and this game started at 6:30, so this has been a really fast game. It didn’t seem like there were as many commercials this year as in past years. Thank you everyone for another year of running commentary on the ads. And congratulations to the Colts. Good game overall. ---

I was only half-watching, but the gameplay seemed rather sloppy. Who cares? The ads were not that good either. Who cares? At least I had fun…I guess. Good job, Indianapolis! See you next year! ---

I thought the commericals were quite boring this year. A couple got a laugh but I was very disappointed overall. ---

[QUOTE=mobo85] The Coca-Cola Black History Month was a first-run ad, I’m sure, as it makes an indirect reference to tonight’s game. [/QUOTE] I saw that ad run before a film in the theater on Martin Luther King Day, and it said “Especially today” in that one as well. Made much more sense in that context. What’s the connection to the game? My favorite ad was Robert Goulet.
