****The official SuperBowl TV COMMERCIAL Thread****
 

If anyone cares....

As the Planet's Unofficial repreesentative of madison avenue (and co-creator of "the Best SuperBowl Commercial of 2004") I figured in classic "GoChiefs" self-promoting style, I'd start this thread. (hey, if the game sucks, the commercials will be all people talk about)

So, Advertizers are lined up, wringing their hands to see what their 2.6 Million per :30 seconds will get them.

Anheiser Busch has bought 5 minutes of time total (yeah, about 25 million bucks total, but with volume discount, probably more like 20 million) Look for some potty humor, some animals doing human-ish things and the requisite clydesdale spot.

Going toe-to-toe with the Bud family is the Pepsi/Doritos/Pizza hut/Taco Bell clan (all owned by the same mega-corp.) You can expect a Pizza hut ad with Jessica Simpson, New Pepsi hype, and several Doritos ads.

Also, look for the usual SuperBowl commercial appearances by the big-tits Go-Daddy dot com chick, Coke Polar Bears, AOL, United Way, etc.

A new twist on a lot of ads this year are the "YouTube" trend: Consumer made ads. i.e. the NFL Network "Best SuperBowl commercial ever," One fromDoritos, and even a new "Alka-Seltzer jingle created by some "regular person".

Also, look out for the 60-second "Robot gets Fired" ad from GM. I work with the folks who created that one, so it will be interesting to see how it plays.

You can even watch a lot of the spots before the game on this link:

Oh sure... Bob Dole bumps an existing commerical thread instead of starting a new one and the corporate sell-out miniature action firgue guy has to start a new one.

Fine. Whatever.

In the spirit of negativity and general bitterness, Bob Dole is going to go ahead and declare that the "Robot Gets Fired" spot sucks sweaty ass.

I predict ATHF Colon the Video Picture Thing for Movie Theaters (or whatever) wins best marketing of the week, hands down.

last year was was the most underwhelming year for SB spots in my recent memory.

My fav from the last 2-3 years was the cat in the spaghetti sauce.

anyone remember "Brown and Bubbly"?

REPOST!!!

i vote for any commercial that doesn't have animals doing human-ish things...

Great thread so far.

Just saw Jessica. I think she is losing it.

GAME ON!

There he goes

good doritos gommercial

So, um... eating Doritos makes you unbelievably clumsy?


That explains it.

Yay the bunny and hamster guys!

Yeah, I like how it ended. ;)

lol, beard come over.

ROFL Beard combover

Its the beard comb over isnt it?

ROFL

Michael Ian Black and Jim Gaffigan rock!

Salesgenie.com will be out of business by November.

GET OUTTA HERE

repost

I had never heard of that site before today.

I always enjoy the commericals for the big upcoming Summer flicks..

Ill never forget the one for Independence Day. It was actually much better than the final film...LOL

Moon office. Final Countdown!

FEd-Ex

Lame-Ex

That FedEx commercial was dark!

That is just wrong.

AHHHHHHHH

That's just wrong.

snickers wins

game over

Snickers is going ghey

I think Survivor is done, that show is so old now.

Black people can swim?

Just kidding.

But that Snickers commercial sucked.

How much money would they have to pay you to do that commercial?

That's where it was headed.

**** YOU IN THE GODDAMNED FACE NED HOLNESS YOU SORRY SACK OF SHIT

Why would they, they could give some dummy 50 bucks to do it.

I HATE CARLOS MENCIA!!!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!! YOU RUINED THE BEST SUPER BOWL EVAR!

I liked the Letterman/Oprah commercial though.

that mencia ad was the best so far, followed with the snickers.

You are a ****ing reerun.

0/2

Agreed.

I love Mencia's comedy (his show sucks, watch his stand-up), but that commercial was one of the worst in super bowl history.

I'm trying to image the pitch where an Ad agency says "We want to sell Snickers with a campaign based on homophobia...."

that is a weird Coke commercal

These commercials suck ass

I actually liked that Coke commercial.

lol

that coke commercial has been playing during movie previews for months...

Mean jerk - the dog wasn't hurting anything.

I love Bud commercials

Oh **** YES, sentai is always money.

The Ultra-Man spot has my vote, way cool.

Okay, Rosie. Chill the hell out.

Career Builder, WEAK.

Doritos, Weak

Chevy commercial, ghey.

i think mencia's show is funny. i can't watch a marathon or anything, but a thirty second spot will make me laugh.
i can understand the feelings on the snickers ad, our homophobic society and all.

I'm not homophobic. I just hate crappy comedy.

The game is owning the commercials hard so far.

I haven't been to a movie for months.

"Coca-Cola, we don't mind black people"

"So we compromised and got a cat."

Last year's ads were terrible, this year may be worse.

E*Trade will never top the dancing monkey.

you can't get a Coke in a glass bottle out of a machine.


that's false advertising!!!!




heck, you have to to the Mexican market to get a Coke in a bottle...

I enjoyed the beard combover... other than that, I haven't been very impressed.

Oh, goody. Talking/anthropomorphized animals. Bud/Lite is so innovative.

Careerbuilder is trying, but... no.

Gay lions?

+1 for Ricardo Montalban.

Niiiice BL commercial.

Federline! Fries! Thank you!

^^^^^^^^

This.

I gotta give Federline some credit, the best way to get rid of some of the cracks about oneself is to make fun of oneself, thats why so many celebs go on SNL & have jokes made at their expense.

Yep, I love self deprecating humor. A perfect example is Bob Dole (no, not that one) after he lost the election. Viagra ads, hosting SNL, etc.

Something tells me Federline's screwed regardless, though.

Ya know, after Dole lost the election to Clinton & then did the SNL appearance & other humorous stuff i thought...why didnt he do that stuff BEFORE the election??? & let people see the side of himself that didnt look like a crusty old man, i think he stood a MUCH better chance of winning had he done that.

I know it's not new, but I really like the Dr. Hoops commercial

Totally agree.

Didn't expect to see a hillbilly cheese-dip ad at those prices.
