Ummm, is it just me, or were the super bowl commercials lacking this year? I was less than impressed.
The ones I did like were:
Pepsi, forever young commercial. The contrast between old and new was super cool to see, and it appealed to my parent’s generation and mine. I loved that. I keep picturing Gumbi vs. Shrek. I just thought it was super creative.
Conan O’brien, where he makes the commercial over seas, but it gets out in America. I laughed. I think it was a Bud Light commercial.
Mr Potato Head and Bridgestone Tires: I really liked this one. I laughed out loud, but my friend thought it was cheesy. Did you?
Castor Oil and the Grease Monkeys: For originality I liked this one the best. And him kissing the monkey at the end was just…[shudder], it was perfection. “Strange Days Indeed…”
Land of the Lost commercial: I didn’t like the commercial, but I loved Will Ferrel saying “Matt Lauer can eat it.”
Pedigree, maybe you should get a dog. Ok, yeah, I liked this one. Sue me. I’m an animal person.
Budweiser horse playing fetch: I liked this one too, although it was predictable.
Budweiser horse and Daisy “Aint no mountain high enough”: this was strangely cute-sy for Budweiser, wasn’t it? I wasn’t sure how to feel about it. I mean, it was sweet, but think back to the frog commercials. Were they trying to market to women this year?
I wasn’t super impressed with:
Doritos Commercial: He eats the chips and good things happen, he’s out of chips he gets hit by a buss. Predictable.
godaddy.com: danicka patrick, not good at all
Diet Pepsi for men? I didn’t catch the name of the product, but the concept is interesting…”I’m good.”
Budlight discussions on drinkability. LAME.
Sobe football players doing ballet…I was super excited when this one started, ’cause it made me giggle, but then it got SO WEIRD at the end with the lizards, and the acid trip backgrounds, and the breakdancing, and the tight white body suits….ugh. Super weird.
Anyway, what did you guys think?
I didn’t see many of the commercials, but I liked the Heroes commercial where they were playing football.
the NBC network commercials seemed to take it…
I agree with all of your views. I loved the Potatoe Head commercial. I think I laughed the loudest at that one!
