Super Bowl 42... Commercials

The Super Bowl can either be exciting or a dud. Whichever it chooses to be can't usually be helped, but it is a crying shame when the commercials are bad. I mean, advertisers know that the Super Bowl is coming. It only happens once a year. To have a bad commercial seems to be asking for lack of success for the rest of the year. This year's commercials were fair, better than last year at least. I laughed at a couple, chuckled at a few, scratched my head at most and wrote almost all of them down.

1. Bud Light and the ability to breathe fire - it was funnier when Dairy Queen did it
2. The new Audi R8 killing old luxury's grill and putting it in that guy's bed a la the Godfather... okay, I laughed at that scream, but it wasn't that great.
3. Diet Pepsi Max, "What is Love" commercial was really dumb
4. Sales Genie.com - Ummmmmmm
5. Sarah Connor Chronicles - Kick Ass!
6. Bud light cheese run - Lame
7. UnderArmour - What the Hell?
8. House after the Superbowl - YES!
9. Bridgestone - Animals Screaming - Dumb
10. Doritos - Message From Your Heart - She crashed the SuperBowl, but I know female singer songwriters right here that sound better. (You know who I'm talking about Macon!)
11. Unhitched - Oh.My.God. Dumb.
12. Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Terminator Robot beating up the NFL Robot - Kick Ass!

Touchdown Patriots - Boo!

13. Gatorade - They figured out a way to get Peyton Manning into the game...
14. GoDaddy.com - Danica Patrick Exposure. Sex continues to sell domain names
15. Buy Dell. Join (RED). Save Lives. Have people pat your butt as you walk by!
16. Giant Carrier Pigeon - Let's choose FedEx - scary.
17. So unfunny, I immediately forgot it while watching the next commercial (later learned it was cars.com and the Plan B circle of fire)
18. Stain on the shirt commercial - Tide To Go - hilarious!

FRAKKIN' Turnover! Patriots now have the ball.

19. Anheuser Busch Horse training - Animals getting along. Cute.
20. IronMan Trailer - YES!

21. Corolla forocious badgers - Ummmmmmm
22. Leatherheads - George Clooney movie. More to come.
23. Garmin - Napoleon commercial. Next.

24. Career Builder follow your heart commercial. Somewhat gross.
25. Life Water - Thriller Dancing lizards. WTF?
26. Anti Drug commercial - dealers are usually people kids know, not some joker on the street.

27. A hybrid Yukon from GMC commercial that started out as an inspirational, never give up, pep talk.
28. Bud Light Commercial - Accents are sexy, but commercials about it are not. Why is Carlos Mencia still doing commercials?

29. Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian - Hottie.
30. Planters.com - Cashews make anyone sexy.
31. Charles Barkley put Dwayne Wade in his fave five and is annoying. Mildly amusing, causing a chuckle.
32. Tom Brady - United Way - Get Fit.

33. Justin Timberlake - Pepsi Commercial. Every drink brings him closer. Or a big screen TV. Which you want depends on who you are.
34. Doritos Mousetrap with the first song from the opera Carmen in the background - I laughed because a giant rat burst through the wall and I didn't expect it.

What did you think of the halftime show? A friend said that he liked Tom Petty and will stop and listen if he hears one of his songs, but that he has never once intentionally played a Tom Petty song.

35. Cars.com commercial Plan B- Head Shrinker. The only interesting thing about this commercial is that T.J. Thyne, Dr. Jack Hodgins on Bones, was the car buyer.
36. Sales Genie.com panda bear
37. Shaquille O'Neal riding Chunk of Love by Vitamin water - more butt slapping
38. Terminator Robot vs. Fox NFL Robot - Awesome

39. Caveman bud light commercial - Boo
40. Carmen Electra Ice Cubes Gum - I don't even know why this commercial was made.
41. Bridgestone - Possibly hitting Richard Simmons with the car was only slightly more funny than almost hitting that squirrel earlier.
42. Career Builder Spider eats the singing cricket. Jiminy Cricket!
43. Sarah Conner Chronicles - Good place to advertise for tomorrow
44. Hyundai Genesis
45. Wall-E - ???

46. Jumper - That trailer is so bad...
47. E-Trade Baby - I laughed at the spit up part.
48. Bud Light - The ability to fly no longer available - C'mon Bud Light!

49. Sunsilk - Make Hair Happen... I'm pretty sure Marilyn Monroe had nothing to do with Sunsilk.
50. Stewie vs. UnderDog for the Coke only to be beaten out by Charlie Brown - Something good happened to Charlie Brown...
51. Terminator Commercial - ingenious

52. Bill Frist, James Carville share a coke and get along, for a change, all over Washington D.C.
53. Toyota Sequoia

54. You Don't Mess with the Zohan - Interesting...
55. Mother! - Sarah Connor Chronicles - Alright! YES, there is a new episode tomorrow after last week's re-run (a re-run after only THREE episodes aired???), so watch it!
56. New House after the game - Again, YES!

57. Baby E-Trade Rents a Clown - Confirms clowns are creepy.
58. Taco Bell - Fiesta Platters - Accents are sexy.
59. Man's best friend Gatorade commercial - are we to assume the dog was eagerly scarfing Gatorade? Gross.

60. Bud Light - Jackie Moon of Semi Pro messing up the lines... My favourite? Bud Light - Suck on it!
61. Hyundai Genesis
62. Ocho Cinco helps advertise the Moment of Truth a new show that looks like a reason for people to get more embarrassed on television for money

63. Victoria Secret - sexy woman holding football and don't forget Valentine's Day (GACK!)
64. Amp - A guy starting a car by attaching jumper cables to his nipples, dancing and starting a car up. I am not really sure what to say about that.
65. Ben Rothlisberger ruining The Pina Colada Song - American Idol commercial

And that's how the Giants win the SuperBowl - The biggest game of the year, frakkin' up the Patriot's perfect season.
