Oh MAN, the bud one they just showed (the one at the football game with the fans and the peices of board with picture on it making the pictures that could be seen from above) was really amazing. Was that real or computer animated? ---

> [@Idle Thoughts](#): > > What happened in the other Bud one with the colt, man and his dog? I only caught the tail end of it where he says to his dog “I won’t tell if you won’t.” A little Clydesdale colt wants to push the Bud carriage, but he’s too small. He can get his head in the bridle, but he can’t make the carriage move. A bigger Clydesdale gives him a push. ---

> [@Vlad/Igor](#): > > I’ll vote for that one, too. It was funny. The next GoDaddy with the babe losing a spaghetti strap of her top was kinda lame. It could have been more risque, IMHO. I thought the Gilette Fusion ad was lame. A big high-tech buildup with cheesy images for what? A razor? Eh. I prefer the type of humor in the first [GoDaddy.com](http://GoDaddy.com) ad. You do know that they got their racier ads rejected by ABC, right? According to [GoDaddy.com](http://GoDaddy.com), there were 13 versions rejected before their 14th was accepted. ---

You know, there are a lot of animal-themed beer ads. Seems to me the beer companies would be wanting to distance themselves from animals in their customers’ heads. ---

The Bud commercial with the fans and cards was pretty neat. I hope it was real. Was that Richard Dean Anderson on the action commercial (I don’t remember who it was for). The Degree commercial with the city full of stuntmen was funny, but the Emerald nuts was dumb. ---

TheToyota truck ad: Hah ha! Josemite Sam got lucky with the chromed girl! (both characters common in truck flaps) ---

Ah well, another year done. I give this one a B. The ads two years ago were a lot better, and for me, the 1999 and/or 2000 Superbowl ads were the best, as they were for all of the dot.coms that had money to burn, and were just months away from dying. They had a lot of high-concept, futuristic, cyberpunkish ads thatI really enjoyed seeing. I was rooting for Seattle, too. There’s always next year. ---

> [@mobo85](#): > > Is it just me, or was Mick Jagger speaking Elmer Fuddese while he was singing _(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction_? It sounded like he was singing “And I twy and I twy.” Sounded like it to me as well. I always hate it when The Rolling Stones do that song. Devo did it much better. 😃 ---

USA Today’s [annual ranking](http://www.usatoday.com/money/advertising/admeter/2006-ad-meter-results-chart.htm) of ads, done by a random group who ranked the ads as they aired. A-B’s “magic fridge” top ad.
