Mercedes Benz - that was cute. Awww, P Diddy lost his Mercedes.

House - that was a funny remake of the old football commercial.

Chevy Camaro - that was pretty good. How not to write a commercial.

Camaro was good, but I feel like we’ve seen that “plan the Superbowl commercial” commercial before.

Car Max wins the night for their Customer Service and I Feel Like… spots, IMO.

My top three faves, in no particular order, were VW ‘little Darth’, CarMax 'I feel like…" and the Chevy Silverado ‘Lassie truck’ spot.

All vehicle ads, hmm.
