Discuss the commercials! The real reason for watching the Super Bowl!

I was about to start this topic in CS, I’m glad I checked all the forums first, just in case. 🙂

It’s a semi-tradition with me. I have started threads in the past years for the commercials.

Might as well get a topic on hand. Kickoff is in a few minutes, a commercials right after that.
The commercials were pretty lame last year, so lets see how it goes this year.

Ford has failed to get me interested in following their damn Internet rally.

Eh, commercials are more of a Cafe Society territory.

I think Cafe Society is a better fit, I’ll move it there.

Bud Light - new kitchen - Meh.
Doritos - meh, slightly silly.
Audi - funny.

OK, the Audi commercial was…odd. Kenny G and “release the hounds”, though, heh.

Doritos - weird in a creepy way.
Chevy Cruise - funny.
Pepsi Max - funny.

Is it me, or are the commercials a little shorter than normal this year?

Yeah, what the hell was that all about? LivingSocial will turn you into a crossdresser?
OTOH, I thought the Doritos commercial where the guy is teasing the pug and the pug rams the door down was pretty funny.

Hmmm, don’t all the people watching the game already _have_ Doritos?
But yeah, it was funny.

Bud Light - Swashbucklers - that was funny, as was the Chevy cum Lassie commercial.

The Living Social worked for me - but I think I’m their target. Silverado/Lassie was great.
