****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!
