Thread: Best superbowl commercial
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!"
).

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.Slim pickings this year, overall.
THIS game is why I prefer College Football. This game had all the drama and intensity of a Lifetime (television for idiots) movie. Yikes. My apologies to all those Steeler and Seahawk and Bettis fans out there.
Back to topic, what a lousy crop! The streaker wasn't bad (but why was it dancing? ick), I thought the baby Clydesdale (yup... sp?) was cute (even if the ideas with the animals have been over done), and the fly was probably the best.
Worst commercials, H3 (I HATE those things anyway, funny to see them marketed as monstrosities), Burger King, anything for Disney, and the Diet Pepsi with P Doggy or doody or whatever he calls himself.
But the WORST by miles are those @#*$@#*(@#$*@#%&@!(*!(@$ Emerald Nuts commercials. I won't buy a single product from them, just because I cannot stand their ads. (By the way, it is the same for GAP and Old Navy).
Gregoshi that was pretty mean! Wanting to close every BK. But why is it that I agree with you? Thanks also for that link. Gave me lots more to despise!

I dont know, The bubbling brown diet pepsi commercial was pretty awful.But the WORST by miles are those @#*$@#*(@#$*@#%&@!(*!(@$ Emerald Nuts commercials. I won't buy a single product from them, just because I cannot stand their ads. (By the way, it is the same for GAP and Old Navy).
PS after hearing Whitney Huston and Mariah Careys renditions of the Star Spangled Banner this years effort by Aretha Franklin and Arron Neville was pretty lame. I expected more from the queen of soul.
Does anyone else have their mind go in the toilet (well, no pun intended... but you know) when they hear bubbly and brown?

Isn't that the commercial where the guy doesn't want to share the Emerald Nuts with his little girl so he tells her things like "If little girls eat Emerald nuts, unicorns will disappear forever and the Easter Bunny will get 'whacked'?"
I though that one was pretty funny.
I thought the streaking sheep was the best one of all. Just my two cents though.

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.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?
