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.

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?

No but it did make me reach for my milk of magnesia.

Nope, can't say I do. Whilst connotations of the word brown might lead us to, among other thoughts, the bathroom, the meanings of the word bubbly promptly cut off such a line of discourse, as, in my experience at least, bubbly has no bathroom connotations in connection with brown.

I thought the Star Spangled Banner singing was sub-par, to be kind.

my fav is for the sprint cell phone. where he says he has anti theft and tells the guy to try to steal his phone and he hits him in the head hahaha. the fed ex one is funny as well with the caveman the magic freidge was good but could have been funnier if when they were bowing down u saw one guy in the corner throwing up lol (my dad's idea not mine!)

From what I heard on the radio this morning, the folks that rank the commercials have determined that the "Magic Fridge" was the most liked commercial.

The Pepsi commercials were pretty lame as usual. The only decent 5 seconds was in the Jackie Chan one, when the Diet Coke goes in as a stunt double. The Emerald Nuts commercial also has to be counted among the bad - what was its point? That druids eat them?

Regarding the National Anthem, I didn't think it was too bad - based on what I could hear of it. Aaron Neville's voice was barely audible. In fact, the on field audio was pretty bad for the Stones too. It did not sound like they were playing in a stadium. Mic Jagger actually looked better than he did 10 years ago, but Keith Richards looks like he's been dead for 3 years only his body doesn't know it yet.

Speaking of the performances, they are my biggest gripe about the Super Bowl (and the college bowl games for that matter). Here we have the biggest, most important game of the year, and the experts on hand each have about 1 minute to analyze the first half. It seems to me the game deserves more indepth analysis than that.

Sheesh, I've really been negative about the whole Super Bowl experience this year. Makes me wonder why I even watch it.

???

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.

**IrishMike** · 02-06-2006, 22:52

I thought the streaking sheep was the best one of all. Just my two cents though.

I'm sorry I didn't get to watch, but there was no way i was going to miss the Minnesota national Curling Finals.

The half-time show featured the Lake Woebegon Highschool marching band with a tremendous finale by the Schmenge Brothers--Yosh and Stan. Their version of Beer Barrel Polka will haunt me forever

There were also some great commercials. My favorite was the one for Knudson's Cheese Curds. By Jiminy, it was a real knee slapper.

The sad thing is, I would honestly rather watch curling than the Superbowl, not to mention any NFL game. However, I ended up watching "Up in Smoke" instead.
