Superbowl Ads

Yep, I’m one of those people who only watches for the ads and the half-time show.

Some ads I’m looking forward to this year:

  • The Osbournes meet the Osmonds - Pepsi Twist ad

  • Willie Nelson - H & R Block (ha ha ha)

  • Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines trailer - Awwww yeah, Ahhhnuld’s back, baby.

  • Hulk trailer

Not too thrilled with this year’s half-time line-up, tho’ since I’m not a Shania fan and I’m not even sure who Michelle Branch is…oh, well…at least there’s Beyonce…

:slight_smile:

Do they post the approximate times (1st quarter, etc.) that the respective ads will be shown? Almost certainly a stupid question, 'coz then folks like me, who only want to see the Hulk and Terminator trailers, wouldn’t stick around for the other ads. Having said that, when are the Hulk and Terminator trailers gonna be shown?

I’m not sure when the ads/trailers will be aired – I suppose you could always tape the game and fast forward.

Here’s a listing of ad buyers by quarter. Warner Brothers is releasing Terminator III and Universal is releasing The Hulk, if it helps.

I’ve already seen the Hulk trailer. Someone found it buried in the official site and mirrored it for download. awwww yeah, tank-tossing…

Keen! Thanks!

Why is a Canadian singing “God Bless America - My home sweet home”?
:confused:

Why lola, because she has such a beautiful, awe-inspiring voice, and we all love her, Canadians and Americans alike.

Who let Celine Dion near the Superbowl? (I just saw her car commercial… did she sing the Anthem, too?)

Well I started another thread, but we should probably lock that up and let it die.

As I mentioned there, the Superbowl: Rise of the Machines with Arnold was painfully bad. Possibly the worst commercial, though i suppose technically it might not be considered a commercial.

The Charles Schwab ad with the guy running away from the mailman was pretty good. And the Bud zebra/referree commercial was great.

I don’t love her.
I wanna run her over with that damn Chrysler.

Heh – I liked the Castaway parody FedEx ad.

The Osbournes meet the Osmonds , lol. Best so far.

The Fed Ex ad RULED! :smiley:
And the Hulk trailer was kickin’!

The Matrix previews are my favorite so far, although the Hulk preview kicked ass too.

I do NOT hate football. But I find it hard to watch when it involves teams I do not care about*

I kinda liked the zebra as horse football referee.
And the Fed Ex ad was good.
and I saw the Hulk and Matrix ads!
and the Willie Nelson H&R block ad was good
(wow, usualy most ads suck, I’l pleasently surprised)

*which consists of teh Packers, and I did watch the Rose bowl with UW-Madison

The better question is why is anyone singing “God Bless America.”

Do people just sing random patriotic songs before games these days?

I liked the Zebra, the Osmonds, and Willie Nelson.

I scared my neighbors I was laughing so hard at the upside down clown Bud Light ad. :smiley:

OMG, the clown ad!

Can I change mine? The ass-drinking clown is my new favorite.

“Can I get a hotdog?”
