Superbowl XLII Commercials - jedimaster86 - 02-05-2008
Yeh, football is all fun and stuff, but really, the only thing that matters are the commercials. The game is merely a break between these multi-million dollar advertisements (and it doesn't even seem like a break with product placement).
Anywho, this isn't about the economics of the Super Bowl commercial, nor is it about the football game. Were there any commercials in particular you liked/didn't like? Feel free to discuss here.
(And yes, I know Sports are discussed in the Current Events, but this isn't Sports, and even though it could still go in that section, I prefer Small Talk in general, so don't bother moving it.)

I actually missed some of the first (often ones that become the most well known) commercials because I had other work to do, but overall, I don't think I was as impressed as I usually am with the commercials.
I did have to watch the Pepsi one (for deaf audiences) on Youtube cause I missed it and I wanted to see how it played out. From what I heard about it, I thought it'd be like making fun of the deaf, but I was pleased with the commercial and how they handled it. It may have not been the best there, but it was appropriate for the audience.
Some I did kind of like include the Bridgestone one, with the various screaming forest animals/woman - very interersting and just humorous to hear the various screaming. Also, I may have lol'ed at the FedEx one with the carrier pigeons, especially when all heck broke loose - fun times.
One that I think took the favorite for many was the Budweiser one with the Clydesdale and dalmation. Personally, I didn't find it as entertaining to watch, but I respect those that did, especially since it took the Rocky theme.
Like I said, I probably missed a bunch at the beginning, so I'd have to see some of the popular ones and catch them on Myspace or Youtube (I know there is a channel on Myspace for any who want to see them - MySpace.com - 2008 Superbowl Commercials from Super Bowl XLII: Vote for Favorite Ad Videos), but that's my general concensus on some of the commercials I did see.

I really enjoyed the Pepsi MAX one where everyone is nodding off. It was funny as hell in the end when the dude from Night at the Roxbury was like STOP IT! lol
