Leno, 10pm. fall.

Not a fan, but NOT a bad move for NBC, imo.

Do you have to search for each one or do they have a section for all of them?

Monsters v. Aliens - Looks ok, but the 3d was a nice gimmick  
Sobe - The ballet football players was nice, but the MvA was less so

Toyota Tundra - I dig these ads  
Priceline - I’ve seen this one unfortunately  
Overstock - yay medals  
Universal studios - I wish I could go, but oh well  
LMAO - That was great 😃 even though it was an internal spot

I’ve seen **NO** commercial worth a shit as of yet. :dubious:

Aren’t these during SB supposed to be something different and interesting, considering the cost?

Apparently, there was a half-second ad for Miller High Life? Did anyone get this? Because I don’t think my local network showed it.

Yeah, up until that interception at the end of the first half, neither the play nor the commercials have been all that special.

Coke - yay for video games  
Bridgestone - I like how they had “professional drivers on a closed course”  
Monster - It was a good reveal

I saw a professional drivers and or ‘closed course’ disclaimer on the bottom. I thought it was a Sci-fi movie trailer when I read it.
