THat is why it is now common for Presidential candidates to go on shows like Oprah and Letterman now.

Or even youtube now. This cycle, is going to be the first youtube campaign.

FOCK!

I was at a huge superbowl party, like 30 screaming kids runnig around, including two of my own. So I had a lot going on, didn't see too much of the game or commercials. I thought the one the NFL chose (hard to say goodbye) was a good one, they added some good stuff to it.

The Taco Bell lion one: They should have had the Chihuahua show up as a cameo ond tell them both how to roll their "rrrr"s. They cut to food, then come back and the lions are looking at the chihuahua like they're gonna eat him. Better than Ricardo Montalban.
My wife said there was a Doritos one where the guy gives the ugly girl a Doritos "money shot" all over her face....WTF?

LMAO

Wow... your wife has quiet the vivid imagination.


If it's the one I'm thinking of, the clerk is looking at the doritoes flavors and making sexual inuendos. (buffalo ranch! giddy-up, rawr!) They end up ducking behind the counter. At the end the woman pops her head up and asks for cleanup on aisle 4 over the intercom.

When did they show that? I completely missed it.

Sometime late 2nd quarter. (I only know because that's when I was watching the game on my lunch break)

You're right. I just watched it online and the chick just has messed up hair and is popping up from behind the register. I though she said she had bits of Doritos all over her.
PBJ

I actually thought the suicidal GM robot bit was pretty clever. The Dave and Oprah bit was pretty funny, too. Honestly, I didn't pay all that much attention to most of the others, and for the most part, none of them are exactly standing out in my mind.

Of course, that nasty Snickers commercial stands out as the worst I noticed, and it managed to be even more queer than the man-love guitar commercial from last year. Apparently Snickers is trying to oust San Francisco as the one thing most clearly associated with being gay.

But at least there was no Mellencrap bellowing out THIS IS OUR COUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTRY. That's a step in the right direction.

Hey, does anyone think that with all the layoffs GM had this year, that showing a robot (who took human jobs) and the nightmare of losing a job is in poor tast, or insulting to auto workers?

Yeah, I guess that could rub people the wrong way. I caught a bit on the local news after the game where they asked people their opinions about the commercials, and one guy bitched about that commercial as being offensive because a friend of his comitted suicide by jumping off a bridge (that guy should probably never go see Les Miserables, either).

Oh well. I liked it.

It's supposed to be simple... GM takes quality seriously now... don't put more into then that.

The dudes who came up with the crazy animation ideas for "Inside the Coke Machine" and "Coke Video Game Guy" had to be doing multiple lines of coke!

Nah, more like LSD or weed.

Recap
*Beard combover was great, but then I'm a huge fan of Gaffigan and Michael Ian Black, so I was predisposed to liking it.
*I really liked the Garmin ad. Robots + fighting = I want that product.
*The beer commercials were same old, same old. There was one exception, though:

*Robert Goulet was absolutely hilarious.
*I liked the Coke GTA commercial. I would buy that game.
*The Federline commercial was pretty great. Nice to see he's aware of how lame he is.
*My favorite might have been a CBS promo, with Indy's David Letterman and Chicago's Oprah Winfrey sharing the same couch.
*CareerBuilder was okay, but definitely not as good as their ads last year with the chimps.
*Mencia sucks
*The only ad that might have been worse than the Mencia one was that godawful Sheryl Crow REVLON ad.<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EY4Dp-WZwr8"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EY4Dp-WZwr8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

The CRABS!!! Are you kidding me? I thought that was awful. Had so much potential and never tapped it.
