Right. So, I did this in 2006 and 2007, but without a laptop in 2008, I didn’t. Given that this is the only NFL game I watch, I’m in it for the ads as much as for the game. So, comment on the ads as they air.
Sprint ad: the phone turns into a tiny coliseum, two guys watch. Ok, it’s a “B” commercial, but it was a cute idea.
I had started my own thread in Cafe Society. I’m going to start commenting once the game officially starts.
Ok. I didn’t see it when I looked through the new messages a while ago.
Bud Light - office meeting, looking for ways to cut expenses, one suggests not buying Bud Light. He gets defenestrated. Cute.
Pepsi. The soft drink for fans of Obama.
Pepsi - new vs. old. Eh.
Doritos - magic ball that gets thrown. Eh.
Bud Light - Conan and Sweden. I dunno, that kind of humor doesn’t do it for me.
Bridgestone - that was cute. Reminiscent of Toy Story.
Castrol - that’s a little wierd.
Love them Clydsdales!
SDMB lifetime post #1000
Doritos - cute premise. I loved the opener with the woman.
GoDaddy - that was funny. Danica Patrick’s 5th shower that day.
Pepsi - pretty funny.
Pedigree - loved the old lady and the ostrich.
Budweiser #1- this year was better than the last two. Pretty funny with the horse retreiving a large branch.
Budweiser #2 - cute.
Star Trek movie trailer - Wow! They close the circle.
Cars.com - pretty good. Wish I were Chuck Abernathy.
Hyundai - good. Finally, the world says the name right. At least in German and Japanese.
E-trade - funny. More of the talking baby, now with a sidekick flexing his pipes.
Bud Light - cute premise.
H&R Block - funny. See you in 38 days.
Teleflora - eh. Dumb idea having a talking flower with no followup and no real punchline
I thought it was a good year for Superbowl adverts. Not a great year, but one of the better ones I remember in years.
I loved Troy’s remake of the Mean Joe Green Coke ad. That was fun. Overall, not so bad.
Maybe I’m jaded, or I’m just in a pissy mood because I have a roaring head cold, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with any of 'em. I think the Clydesdales have jumped the shark. The Troy coke ad was OK, and when he ripped the suit’s shirt off, I actually smiled.
The rest were … meh.
The Star Trek one kind of got past me – I though I recognized some characters, but wasn’t sure what was being advertised. Is this a new Star Trek franchise, in the mold of all the new Batman movies?
G.I. Joe. 'Nuff said.
