Well, I’ve only seen a few so far, but Superbowl XXXVII: Rise of the Machines was pretty damn cheesy, and possibly in contention for the worst Superbowl commercial. I’ll post more as I see them. ---

Future _Variety_ headline: “HULK SMASH!” I liked the Ozzie and the Osmonds commercial, but my favorite one was the Bud Light Upside-Down Clown. “Could I get a hot dog?” “I don’t _think_ so.” 🙂 ---
