Post your thoughts here about the ads during tonight’s game.

Thus far, I’ve only seen the Matthew Broderick everyone’s been talking about. I thought it was a cute, little homage to best known role.

Can someone post where to watch them?

Er, besides having to actually sit through the game itself. I remember every year or so having to wade through a bunch of crap sites to find one that was worth it. Is it still like that?

Many are already available on YouTube on the company’s official channels however.

Hyundai ‘Rocky’ spot: positioning themselves as an all-American vehicle manufacturer, I guess.

The Audi spot was funny.

Yeah, that was Elton John and Flavor Flav, but who was the girl? That was not a good commercial.

The Audi commercial that touts how their headlights are like daylight. They are so powerful, they incinerate all the vampires… which is EXACTLY how my eyes feel when I’m subjected to some asshole’s WAY too bright headlights assaulting my retinas. Thanks for that, Audi!

That Bud Light commercial was a bit of a departure. Usually they do something humorous for their first spot during the game.
