@kpetree10: Was it really a commercial for the coupe, or was it for the sedan? I don't think the coupe has hit the U.S. market yet. It certainly didn't win the 2009 North American Car of the Year award (the sedan did).

I'm curious as to know how many times NBC will air promos for Chuck during the Super Bowl. I love that show, but it seems to never get enough promotion from NBC, except for maybe the 3D episode Monday. I will be extremely ticked off if NBC doesn't promote it enough during the Super Bowl.
Wow, that board meeting had a lot of angry/violent drunks. Perhaps they should cut the drinking.
The LMAO commercial is scary...
Is a commercial for a car, or for Jason Statham in:

Doritos ad = Ow my balls!
@2Legit2Quit_GitEmSteveDave: Now we just need a whole tv show dedicated to it.... and a masturbation network.
Is anyone else getting a choppy picture on the live broadcast. Commercials look great, just the game looks like its a slow frame rate just slightly off. Leave it to Ben Silverman to f-up the superbowl.

If the marketing goal of the Pepsi commercial was to infuriate me to the point of never drinking Pepsi again, they just may have pulled it off.
Rather have a Trunk monkey than a grease monkey.
I knew their was somthing about doritos I liked.........dont you dare look at me that way!

Thanks for posting a whole bunch of black backgrounds with white Text, I'm sure the rest of Canada is happy about it too.
NO, There's ANOTHER baby!?!?! Why Gods, Why!!!
My favorite part about the e*trade babies is that immediately after their shtick it says \"Must be 18 or older to open an E*Trade account.\"
I've always been surprised 3D didn't catch on as a porn medium.
That Teleflora ad was one of the most offensive ads I have ever seen in my life. To the point where I will now never, ever do business with Teleflora unless they issue a massive apology.
@Eyebrows McGee: I chuckled. But I agree, it's playing on womens self esteem to squeeze more money out of men.
@Eyebrows McGee: \"no one wants to see you naked\" says the wilted flower in a box. WTF?
I wasn't offended so much as confused.

@mechfluff: I think the ad sucked. Poor taste & I felt sorry for the girl. I think this ad makes sure I'll never buy from them.
When I worked scanning packages at my last job, I used to send back flowers. Especially if I was having a fight w/ the SO. Unless my boss made me, like around St. Valentines Day.

Ehhh, 3d was alright. sobe had the best look of the 3 spots. nothing really popped off the screen, but the sobe ad definitely had a lot of depth. Save it for the theaters.
sobe ad pretty cool, but where is the sexy women, i want to drink somthing associated with sexy women.

The biggest controversy of this Superbowl will not be if the ball was down on the last play of the 2nd quarter, but if Bruce was \"stuffing\".

well that 3D ad lineup was disappointing, could be because it's on a square tube tv and not a flatscreen, it could also be the red filter on my 3d glasses i got was brown :/ does anyone else have a brown filter instead of red? is it supposed to be like that?
Yes the filter is correct, and no, it wasn't much better on a HD flatscreen. And for that matter, neither is the game.
Find it interesting Jerry Rice was not a 49er...and Warren Sapp was wearing his rookie helmet...
I see Bruce, but where's Courtney Cox?
Toyata ads are so full of shit! I cant beleive anyone would think thier real. of course guess thier the ones that voted obama in

Growing up I always though of Bruce Springsteen as \"dad's music,\" but the last few years I've really come to respect him as an artist and performer. Plus the Obama shout out song was probably awesome revenge for Reagan stealing Born in the USA.
@lockdog: IIRC, Bruce thought Reagan's use of the song was ironic b/c they only used the chorus, and the song itself isn't as inspiring as the chorus.
And I'm from Freehold, NJ. I've heard enough Bruce and Bruce stories to last a lifetime.
I just have to say i am seriously dissapointed! I watched the super bowl for the awesome 3d ads, and the only channel broadcasting the game is playing mainly canadian ads! Not only did i not get the 3d, i haven't gotten any great superbowl ads! This is really irritating. (i live in the PNW, about 20 miles from the border in washington) arrrrgh!
I know y'all are typing fast, but I love the \"Overtsock\" ad reference. I prefer Subtle Socks myself.
So far Conan's my favorite, maybe because I'm a girl who loves Conan and hates monkeys. And weird sexist chip ads.

Jack in the Box commercials are not shown in my area (central Illinois) - local ad's are on (for a local car dealer & local hospital).....
And I have not seen any of the 1 second commercials.
The Vizio ad cracked me up.
The Taco Bell ad -- WORST SLOGAN EVER. I know *exactly* what happens at \"the speed of Taco Bell\" when one eats Taco Bell.
Vizio thanks Obama for the stimulus package but doesn't ask that he update the broadcasting to digital?
Vizio.com is getting destroyed. However, thankfully, the signup page is still active.
Cheers, good luck!
Does anyone else find it weird that both Denny's and Vizio's websites are down?
Weird...this site is about 3 minutes in the future from me....I'm on the east coast too, but when a commercial shows up on the site, I see it 3 minutes later...kinda freaked out right now.....

Anyone else notice Hulu's down? I loved that they were hosting the ads...now I'm just pissed off that they weren't ready for the load.
MacGuyver, MC Hammer, Mean Joe Green, even the revival of Tony the Tiger and Chester Cheetah, do I sense a new generation being targeted for the nostalgia buy?
@lockdog: Chester Cheetah has been around for awhile, commercial wise. I have liked the new generation of Cheeto's ads.
Say what you will about the commercials, it WAS a good action packed game.
@2Legit2Quit_GitEmSteveDave: Unusually good for a Superbowl, but I felt like it was way over-reffed, and I *hate* that in post-season games. You don't want the ref deciding a big game.
(That was TOTALLY an incomplete pass at the end.)
It was also unusually dirty, tho. Some very unsportsmanlike behavior and I'm shocked they didn't throw that one guy out.

@working class Zer0: +1. Thanks Ben for sticking with this, staying sober-ish, dealing w/Captain Duvel MoneyCat interference, etc... and making me actually watch the game, rather than cleaning.
The liveblog was fun, good job, Ben! Not the best year for Super Bowl ads, really, but it was good. Plus, now we have The Office to watch. :-)

Heineken is the U.S. distributor of Dos Equis and other Mexican beers from CCM (Tecate, Sol, Bohemia and Carta Blanca). As a result they're also responsible for the advertising and promotions of these brands. It only stands to reason they would realize the success of the most interesting man is cannibalizing the general and hispanic market for Heineken and look to turn that around.
I wonder if they'll kill or cripple the Dos Equis campaign in order to help Heineken.

but the puppy bowl was better than any of this!

nanapus is loads of buttery pancake win in my book.
this chick won't be renewing her domain names through GoDaddy this year. I've used them for a while and barely tolerated a few years of sexist ads. Clearly they refuse to move beyond frat boy campaigns and don't give a shit about my business. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-68654-100x100.png\")
here were my thoughts on the ads:
1) having it constantly be summertime despite crappy ass weather is finally a reason to drink bud anything.
2) all those clydesdale commercials? yeah, this is why belgians should stick to waffle-making. just be happy the horses weren't being ridden by smurfs.
3) AUDIs will help you get away from anything, but only for the first 30,000 miles. then you're screwed.
4) crunching into a chip & making girls clothes fly off is way cooler than using puffed rice to bait pigeons into harassing a hipster. still, getting hit by a bus sucks. so, i'll take the cheetos?
5) hyundai has incredibly uninspiring commercials, which is disappointing b/c that \"edityourown\" link above is one of the coolest websites i've ever been on. & hardly anyone will check it out.
6) hey stupid, it's not \"1D\", it's \"2D\". 1D is along 1 axis (x), 2D is along 2 (x,y). if you were 1D, you'd be a line.
7) DVR moment of the nite - \"did that guy really just make out with a monkey?\" rewind... ooooookkkk.

@Trai_Dep: Only one way to deal with zombie companies...line them up against a wall and deliver a shotgun blast to the head.
@Trai_Dep: NBC was selling 30-second spots for $3M.
@Trai_Dep: As long as they will tell me what to do with my old gold, then it's worth it.
