Default Super Bowl Ads

My top three picks:

Bud’s horse & steer friendship ad

Dorito’s don’t touch chips or mom ad

Hyundai car body from plant through adm to parking lots


Biggest surprise ad:

Letterman, “O”, Leno ad


My top loser ads:

Any of the ads with guys/running around in their underpants

Most of the Bud Light ads — house of beer being the exception

In fact, I thought most of the ads this year were really poor considering the costs

What are yours?

How about the guy in the wooden casket, taking a break in a pile of Doritos for the week, while his friends cried for him!

I thought the Tim Tebow/Mom 'Focus on Family' ad was over-hyped by the ProChoice crowd. By the way they were demanding that that ad be pulled by CBS, I was expecting Tebow and his Mom to be holding aborted fetuses.

For some really odd reason, I really laughed at the Punxatawny Polamalu commercial, and I can't remember what is was for, but it was just absurd.

The one with Leno and Letterman was amusing.

The Snickers one with Betty White and Abe Vigoda made me laugh out loud, as did the Doritos one with the dog and the shock collar.

The Hyundai one with the car being painted was cool, and the one for the Dodge Charger was pretty cool too.

Didn't care for the ones with the people in their underwear at all. A couple of the beer ones were OK...

Nothing really remarkable as far as I was concerned.

Oh, another ad I thought was really good - Google's taking you to Paris, seeing the city, getting action, and ending up getting a crib. A really inexpensive ad to make but one that draws you in. Very cool.

Didn't they try and try to pull him out his hole to test if he could see his shadow?

Obviously you're not enough yet young Skywalker.

Those spots always break me up - particularly the one yesterday about the milkaholic.

But then again I may be amused simply because I'm not quite ready for diapers again yet.

The Dorito striking the guy like some kind of ninja throwing star made me laugh.
