They had quite a few good ones last year, in my opinion. I wonder what to expect this year. ---

Oh my LORD…The Prison Break one they just showed right now was HILARIOUS. T-bag getting wiped out with a tackle. ---

I laughed, but still won’t watch the show. Too many hiatii. (I know it doesn’t pluralize like that.) ---

I’ve been the thread-starter on a couple of SB commercial threads, but I don’t expect much this year. It’s a slow economy, and the big trend in advertising continues to be everything Internet-related, and viral ad campaigns. That’s not to say we won’t see a few big-budget, splashy ads, but I think the number and quality has already been dropping off over the past few years. That said, I welcome the Reebok [“Perfectville”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKBJ3wmFk5M) ad. Hell, I want to live in that ad… or at least visit overnight, take some pics, collect some autographs. But then, I grew up in Miami (and the '72 Perfect Season is the basis of some of my earliest memories, BION – namely, my dad’s yelling at the TV, sending encouraging words and thundering recriminations down on the likes of “Merc,” “Garo,” “'Zonk,” and Griese). NB, though: even “Perfectville” directs you to the website for the sequel, no matter how the game turns out. (It could’ve used a fleeting shot of a big cooler full of bubbly on ice, but it’s only a 15-sec. spot.) Go Giants!!! ---

That Bud Light Commercial was like a carbon copy of the Wendy’s spicy chicken commercial from a while back…minus points. ---

[QUOTE=ArizonaTeach] OK, thumbs up for Chris Kattan. [/QUOTE] I concur! That was good. And so was the “cheese Bud Light” ---

So far the Bud Light cheese ad is the best…Not that that is saying much. ---

So far, the best one was a local commercial. Maryland Lottery commercial: A guy upon meeting the new director of Global Operations for xyz company says, “PULL MY FINGER” as the new director extends her hand… Fart jokes never get old. ---

Love the Clydesdale. As for that idiotic-looking action flick, there’s something unintentionally hilarious about Robert Downey, Jr. saying “Yeah, I can fly”. Yeah, now he just has to do it without the speedballs. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-super-bowl-commercials-thread-yet/436151.md?page=2)
