Commercial Bowl XLIII Thread

Clydesdales x3 - Yay for immigrants!
Witch Mountain - I like the Rock, but I’m not gonna see this one.

Heh. I came here to mention this. I don’t have to deal with football interrupting the commercials. :smiley: Yay!

I’m just going to wait til the game’s over so I can watch them all back-to-back.

Stream Live Sports Online | Hulu + Live TV if anyone wants it.

Damn, now I really want pancakes, eggs and bacon. But I have a feeling that if I try to get a free breakfast on Tuesday, Denny’s will be swamped.

I knew I was missing one from that break. No Dennys near me unfortunately.

Transformers 2 - O. M. F. G.
Careerbuilder - Punch that dang koala

I don’t sit next to “this guy”, but otherwise, they coulda been filming me.

Coke - yay for teamwork
Frosted Flakes - youth sports are GRRRRRRRREAT!

OK, that last Conan O’Brien promo was disturbing…

“I f your Conan lasts more than 3 hours…” :D:

GI Joe looked cool.

Wow! This Coke ad with the bugs looks great in HD.

Anything Tina says works for me…

NFL - good story

Then local ads. Boring.

Now a lot of local ads. Bleah.

The only ads that have stood out for me:

On the Plus Side

  • Swedish Conan
  • Budweiser clydesdale travels far and wide to get to his lady love
  • Heroes playing football
  • NBC Monday night lineup musical ad
  • Hyundai, rhymes with Sunday. (I drive one. I’m biased, maybe.)
  • “If your Conan lasts more than 3 hours”

On the Negative side

  • GoDaddy.com – a third year in a row of creepy misogyny with a side of self-exploitation from a woman who should know better. FAIL.
  • Teleflora.com – gratuitously insulting flowers? More creepy misogyny. Double fail.

We just had a Jordan’s furniture store ad, and that’s a local store, only in New England.

2009 in a nutshell: Cash4Gold. Sigh.

If you make lots of money but,
you hate going to work (ahhhhhhhh),
your coworkers don’t respect you (hey dummy),
you always wish you were somewhere else,
you cry constantly,
you day dream of punching small animals,
and you sit next to this guy,
it’s probably time for a new job.

Polamalu remakes the Mean Joe Greene classic.

Excellent!

Hyundai - the “lose job, give back the car” gimmick is interesting
CokeZero - the Joe Greene ripoff irked me till they turned it on its head
cash4gold - Everything is better with MC Hammer

Cash4Gold, celeb bankrupts Hammer and Ed McMahon having to sell all their gold tchotchkes… weird
