Super Bowl Ad Thread

So which ads did you like? Which ones did you not?

I liked the Career Builder Ads (the office gladiator was great).

The Revlon Ad....wtf? :blink:

I was also to see that GM ran an ad that featured a robot "dreaming" of being laid off from a GM plant and then it committed suicide. After the bad car business and talk of lay offs and plant closures, this one I thought probably hit too close to home for real people....especially those workers who are about to lose their jobs and who were probably watching. Kind of dumb IMHO to run such an ad. :blink:

The Robert Goulet ad for Empire Nuts...a classic. We were laughing so hard.

The token pharmaceutical ad (Flomax) left us ROFLOAO! I mean really.... :lol: :lol:

I have a tiny bit more respect for Kevin Federline after his commercial spot.

That was another one that left the room :lol: :lol:

Wasn't there supposed to be an ad where a guy proposed or something?

Flomax commercials have been amongst my favorites since they started airing on TV. I love the forced male bonding that is borderline questionable male bonding.

And if you missed or want to see the ads, you can click on Yahoo Video to view them again.

I found it disturbing on a few levels... But at least I know who the guy is now..

I liked the guy who picked up the hitchhiker with the axe because he had Bud Light.. "Whats the axe for"? "ummmmm bottle opener" "cool, hop in."

Then the guy with the axe was wary of the guy with the chainsaw. I liked that one too.

 

[thetrailboss]

The ax and chainsaw ad....priceless. We were laughing so hard.

Mostly meh, I liked the rock, paper, scissors and the snickers one. And yea, that one about the machine being laid off was pretty ignorant of all the workers who've lost jobs at GM over the past few years.
Thankfully, I drive a Subaru!

 

[Warp Daddy]

Hitchiker was OTT

GM a 'Model" of sensitivity :thumbs down:

 

[SkiDork]

The careerbuilders were all good. Especially for anyone who works in that cubicle environment... Goes for reviews.. etc..

Honestly, TB, I think that this year was pretty weak. Aside from some that have been mentioned, there really weren't any that stick right out. Maybe the bar was set too high a few years ago when it seemed there were a few truely exceptional commercials.

The commercials are a good time to go use the bathroom and get more beverages. Although I guess the same could be said for much of the actual game this year... :roll:

 

[SkiDork]

I wish they'd bring back Terry Tate...

Who?

 

[ccorces1]

i really love that K Fed ad, it is nice to see he can make fun of himself along with everyone else!
