@lg007:
The drug ad wasn't short & it was a waste of money, as all ONDCP ads are!
No parent is going to lock up their drugs at home!

I hate NASCAR & the repeated ads for it made me hate it more!

the pepsi nod one got me going sunday

i think the chinese and indian ones by salesgenie.com were very effective, cause they are getting more press than any other commercial.

This was the worst group of Super Bowl commercials I have seen...

@everyone going on about the salesgenie.com ads:

The one last year was worse, but they're cheap and profitable. I guess it helps when your company's goal is to have the worst Super Bowl ad two years running: [www.stltoday.com]

Personally I thought the ONDCP ad was a very good one. Any kid in america already knows they can get high by raiding the medicine cabinet, I doubt this ad gave them any ideas, hopefully it did at least get parents to think. Prescription drugs are so easy for kids to get and HIGHLY addictive. If you have seen someone under the spell of oxy you know how scary some of these drugs are.

I'd much rather see them spend my tax dollars to run a more truthful add like this during the super bowl, then have to watch another one of those "my friend got high and accidently shot me in the face" anti marijuana psa's.

Muttering stain ad was hilarious, though a little distracting. Fedex pigeons were kind of hilarious. I loved the bridgestone ads with the screaming animals and then with richard simmons. Awesome.

Talking etrade baby was kinda funny until the vomit. Ew.

oh well, i didn't watch any of it........i do like football, but not the plastic,computer generated pro football....small colleges and high school...they play pretty good football,mostly cause they like to play...............

Most of the ads had me rolling my eyes (that silly UnderArmour ad) or scratching my head (the lizards dancing to Thriller with some chick who wasn't Michael Jackson). After the anti-drug ad, I turned to MuddDude and said, "but... but... OUR kids buy their oxycontin from your dealer, don't they??!?!"

looooooooooooooooooooved the Doritos ad as well as the careerbuilder.com one with the fairy.

I dug the witch doctor one for Cars.com

"Hey Jake, can I take off, I got a tiny head."

That's comedy gold, baby!

@dripdrop: All talking/dancing baby ads are irritating beyond belief.

Ad. Rep#1: "I have an idea, lets make a commecial of african-americans talking jive at a chicken restaurant."
Ad. Rep#2: "Hmmm. It sounds good, but we may catch heat from the NAACP. Lets replace african with asian. They'll never know. I don't think they speak enough english to notice."
Ad. Rep#1: "BRILLIANT."

Not cool, SalesGenie, not cool. Thankfully, I don't need their product, so it won't be hard to boycott.

I suspect that 99% of viewers look at most of those ads and think "I could think up an ad more effective than that!" or "I cant believe they spent so much money for an ad like that!"

I personally was of the "Charlie Brown deserved the coke" camp.

Of course I was not surprised that the two previous women getting out of their limos were both blonds with brown beavers.

I was generally underwhelmed with most of the ads this year. My dog seemed to like the Gatorade ad, though. Enough to wake up from his hours long nap anyway.

I don't know if anyone caught that united, animated Tom Brady one with him mentoring a kid. It wasn't funny or anything, but the animated version of Tom Brady looked really ridiculous. Me and my friends were laughing at that image for a while.

Whew...I thought I was getting sensitive w/r/t the salesgenie ads. Glad most of you noticed it to be a wee bit racially insensitive.

Hated any commercial with a talking baby...always creeps me out.

The Charles Barkley ad, when he said "Do you like popsicles?" I lost it. No clue why that hit me so well but it did.

Iron Man trailer no. 2. Cool.

Wall-E Pixar trailer...though not from the movie, had me rolling on the floor.

I also liked the one with balloons of Stewie and Underdog backing off from Charlie Brown. Nice having the girl holding the football just before (or just after) Chuck emerged.

I can't believe our tax dollars were wasted to show that ONDCP during the Super Bowl. I am sure all it did was put ideas into kids heads. Of course, I am especially bitter because I did my taxes this weekend.

    I liked the fire-breathing Bud Lite commercial. The likelihood of a chick swooning over Bud-breath... I laughed. The cats fled the room when the cat on TV yowled, too.

The tag line was clever (follow your heart), but it was just gross instead of good.

I didn't even remember that one until you mentioned it. I had to go back and look for it.

No kidding. I can't believe Fox didn't reject those ads. I'm white, and I was offended.

That Salesgenie ad? Are they kidding? Talk about racist!!

Loved the Bud ad with the dog and horse. Yeah I knew what was coming, but it was nice and a little funny too.

That baby was creepy....spitting up? They paid money for that ad? YICK! Those of us eating dip at the time...well, you get the idea....

I liked the Bridgestone ads....

No really great ads this year, which was just as well.

Usually the game sucks and the ads are worth discussing. This time the ads sucked and the GAME was awwsome!!

Go GIANTS!!

Two words: Jack Sandwich.

I couldn't believe what I was watching with the Panda commercial. It was like one of those racist Loony Tunes caricatures got transported 60 years into the future. The animation was as bad as one of those stupid Red Bull commercials.

Liked the Coke/parade balloons, though!

I did have a smile on my face when Richard Simmons was in the road and it looked like he stepped on the gas - but was sad once he swerved around him.

Hated most of the other car ads. Wish an ad would just show a car and have them tell you about all the features of the car - instead of trying to make a story which happens to have a car in it that we are suppose to want to buy without knowing nothing about it other then the car is an OK "actor".

Liked the Balloon ad with Family Guy Stewie & that dog going after the Coke - with Charlie Brown finally getting it. Very cute - hope they keep that ad around.

Bud Light flame & flying were OK - even though right away you know what was going to happen - and even though I knew what was going to happen, still a little funny.

lizards dancing to Thriller was cute - but they kept cutting away from the lizards too much, so I could not enjoy the commercial as much.

Dog drinking Gatoraid was one of the worse ones - I mean should you even give that stuff to your pet? Amp was also another bad one. Plus I was disappointed in the Budweiser ad - even since they got rid of those frogs, it's been downhill for their ads.

Hell, the fake dealer prob supplied.

Then the look he gave the underage hottie in the bikini. 10 bucks says he hit that after the shoot.

In the Pepsi commerical, my friends and I didn't realize it was Andy Samberg in the blonde wig for a couple of seconds, and then we were all like, "Wait, what???" And then we laughed at the insanity of it all. We're big fans of Samberg.

@nissan288: How did they ever afford him? It must have set them back a couple of cases of Pepsi Blue.

@radleyas: Agreed..I thought the Tide one was hilarious..couldn't stop laughing. Don't know what was up with SalesGenie...

forget the superbowl ads, how about those GIANTS!!!!!! GO ELI! next year let's hope for giants vs. colts.

Last night's commercial's were incredible. Notice even the people that say they were dissapointing are still mentioning their favorite ads... quit being a bunch of Bill Belachek's (aka. The new word for sore losers)and give credit where credit is due.

What is love? Baby, Don't hurt me, Don't hurt me, No more....

Chris Kattan at the end sold it for me :-)

[www.youtube.com]

it was from the user-generated contest, and finished second behind the commercial with the obnoxious supermarket chick

[www.youtube.com]

So the last laugh is on you, annoying check-out lady! Giant ass-kicking mice win!

Stewie/Underdog/Charlie Brown as Macy's Balloons had the best response at my party. And the terminator doing the pee-pee dance was pretty annoying.

@Propaniac:
The Coke balloon ad was easily the most entertaining and most over-looked spot of the night. I've been glancing over "10 Best SB Spot" articles all morning, and it's gotten no love (though conversely, it's not been on any 10 worst lists either).

It was funny, inventive, and well executed. But since it lacked any gross factor, bare skin, racial slurs and no ones nuts were assaulted, it flew right under the radar.

As a Steelers fan, I'll confess fondness for Ben Roethlisberger's American Idol attempt. If I never hear him sing again, it will be too soon, but I love how he can laugh at himself. The NFL's "Oboe" was absolutely my favorite spot. "And now we're in the Super Bowl! ...kinda!"

And ugh, salesgenie.com. As a sales person myself, I was pretty embarrassed at 1) the blatant stereotypes and 2) the idea that real sales people have to resort to "leads" like that to make sales. And there had to be TWO of them!

I thought the Tide commercial was hilarious. It was the only one I could not stop giggling at.

And it was really nice to see Charlie Brown win out :)

Holy crap were those SalesGenie commercials racists and unnecessary.

@Propaniac: Yeah, I liked that one too. The Budweiser ad where the dalmation is training the clydesdale was really good.

The Audi/Godfather one was terrible, as was the one where the guy sat in the car and there was a nursing badger in the front seat.

Ad Guy #1: We need something gross and completely unrelated to the product we are selling.
Ad Guy #2: How about a nursing badger?
Ad Guy #1: You've done it again!

Worst: GoDaddy's usual vile sexism, self-promotion by the spammers at SalesGenie (where do you THINK they get all those "leads"?), the Amp commercial with jumper cable nipple clamps, and the E-trade baby.

The Doritos Mouse ad was great, as was the Audi. At my house the second baby ad just gave everyone a chance to go grab a new beer, so we liked that.

SalesGenie.com wow...that was just painful to watch. I was growing more and more uncomfortable as that ad went on.

Oh, and my favorite ad was the Coke one with the Thanksgiving cartoon character balloons. Fun AND impressive.

I liked the Coke ad with the floats too, but there's something strange about perennial-loser Charlie Brown winding up with the bottle.

My favorite ad was the Obama spot. Sure it was filled with platitudes, but did you hear that indie rock in the background?

The Salesgenie ads really were terrible; they felt totally cheap and half-assed. (Then again, they probably got their point across pretty well.)

I was amazed to discover that UmderArmor is apparently manufactured in the same gay steel mill that Homer took Bart to visit.

Fox will take money from anyone!

What about the Amp commercial where the fat guy hooked the car battery up to his nipples and danced the car to a jumpstart? Thats the best one I remember except for Will Ferrel playing the same character he has in his last 100 movies....

I guffawed at the peanut ad that played, I guess during the pre-game stuff. The fugly woman who dabbed a peanut along her cleavage. Hilariously awful.

The only ads that I recall are the racist Salesgenie ad (what are these people thinking?) and the creepy baby stock trader one, which I liked, but it seemed to provide an explaination as to why the banking system and economy are dive bombing.

Oh, I also remember the Coke ad with the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade floats that got away - I kind of liked it, but it made me think of the poor people who got killed last time that happened and then I was sad.

At least I was getting tired of them, then a Terminator showed up just before a commercial brek and beat up that f---ing football robot.

Bring back the sock dog...

I loved the Gaterade "Man's Best Friend" one.

To my wife and I, it was Gaterade calling Michael Vick to say: "We just spend $2.6 million dollars to show a dog drinking out of a water dish and said 'Man's Best Friend'. How is prison food? ... Bitch."

I did enjoy watching Timberlake get hit in the nuts by a mailbox pole though...that cracked me up...

@honus: The UA ad wasn't great, but they paired it with an email that got send right after the spot aired. It featured their new theme (or whatever that was) and some new products...

I think that was a very good idea

I enjoyed the Justin Timberlake ad and of course the beer commercials always bring the LOLZ. Other than that, I was mostly disappointed.

To all the advertisers: you really should have saved your money.

It was funny and meaningful at the same time.

Worst ad of the night goes to Under Armour, for whatever crap that was. AWFUL.

I thought the baby throwing up while trading stocks was very apropos.

Talk about market volatility!

The FedEx pigeons' commercial was funny until they showed the giant pigeons and I thought of my car being parked under the wrong tree.

I believe they did a study once that showed those anti-drug ads only increased drug use in teens...
Anyway, I liked the ads as a whole.
