OK, so do they ever actually show any nudity in the online GoDaddy commercials, or are they just as much of a waste of time as their TV spots? ---

“From the Hasbro company that brought you Transformers!” The most intellectual bankrupt movie of all time. Godaddy’s whole line of advertising makes me want to avoid them. Just the “OMG REALLY TITS ON THE INTERNET!?” thing. I bet they don’t even show anything anyway. ---

The Budweiser prohibition commercial is a little weird. “Our product was once considered such a menace to society that it was banned by constitutional amendment!” is a weird thing to remind people of. ---

“Prohibition is over!” and we’re a bunch of alkies. ---

> [@Rhythmdvl](#): > > 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? They also just mentioned that the commercials are available at [nbc.com](http://nbc.com), after each commercial airs in real time. I found the direct link [here](http://player.nbcsports.com/SNFPlayer.html?PID=61&referrer=http://www.nbc.com/), but it takes a bit to load the player. Or go to [http://www.nbc.com](http://www.nbc.com) and in the upper left, click on the ‘more’ in "Super Bowl XLVI Today, starting at 2pm ET, watch the Super Bowl live online! More » ---

Bud: 'Based on a true story". Yes, it’s true that people drank beer after Prohibition ended. Before, too, come to that. ---

Well, Bud is still a menace to the taste of real beer. ---

You know, I’ve never understood why more companies don’t go halvsies on commercials that integrate their products somehow, like that GE/Budweiser one. Seems like you could do that a lot and halve the cost of your advertising, but it’s rare.
