    I'd say the one for "Mobile NFL" the "We did it the onld fashioned way, we used the internet" line had me laughing.
    Honorable mention goes to the new United one for the art. And the Pebl ad with the meteor hitting the earth, getting tossed about and eroded into a phone, classy ad.

    Cadillac Escalade nice music, nice photogrophy


    Can someone explain to me how it's economical for ABC to have 1/4 of the advertisements be for their own shows?


    The Mcdonald's and Disney commercials get the prize for worst.

    The hidden Bud Lights were OK. I didn't like the Hummer and Burger King commercials. And was that the same actor that played Ugoff in the Outback Steakhouse ad? Also, the Toyota Hybrid ad with the man and child driving along tried to make them look Spanish or Mexican, but they looked and sounded Italian to me.

    My favorite was the Mastercard commercial with MacGyver in it.

    The Beer one (forget the name) when the guy had the hidden fringe.

    The fly in the hospital was good too.

    It was a pretty lame crop this year. The caveman Fed Ex commercial was probably the best. My son and I both got a good laugh out of it. The hidden Bud Lights was next best of the funny ones. The Escalade and PEBL commercials lead the pack for attention grabbing ads.

    Others went to the well too many times. Let's retire the Miller(?) horses playing football. Let's retire all the animals that long to pull/ride the Budwieser Wagon. And PLEASE, make someone stop those stupid Go-somethingorother.com ads with the girl in the tight tee-shirt. It was stupid last year and it was stupid this year. However, the worst commercial of the night goes to the Buger King musical. BK hasn't had a decent ad campaign since 1964. The FDA should close down every BK just because their commercials are in such bad taste.

    Okay, I was a little harsh above. ESPN.com has a page dedicated to the commercials: http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sport...bXLcommercials

    There were more good ones than I recalled before having my memory jogged by the ESPN.com page. The Anheiser-Busch "touch football" was pretty good as were both Sprint commercials: "couch fire" and "locker room" ("theft deterent!" ).

    FedEx in the time of Dinosaurs takes first place.

    The sprint one in the locker room was good, as was the one with the couch fire.

    The Sierra mist one with security was good.

    The Ameriquest one with the doctors ("he's dead") was decent.

    Busch's commercials featuring the touch football, secret fridge, and repairing the roofs were decent.

    BK's commercial was utter crap until the end, which failed to redeem it.

    Slim pickings this year, overall.

    Agreed. If I had to pick one, I'd also say FedEx.

    Why is there a thread about 'Best superbowl commercial' and not 'Best superbowl play' - do you americans care more for the commercials than the actual game?

    The game actually was boring as watching grass grow. Gotta have something to try and save it.
