I AGREE with Rush!

[Gman]

The Super Bowl commercials sucked. All of them. I can't think of one that is memorable with the exception of the donkey that wanted to be a Clydesdale and Jerry Jones doing back flips. (Rush disagrees with me on the donkey one.) Neither of these two were clever. They are memorable for their stupidity.

The Super Bowl gave us the famous Mean Joe Green Coke commercial and the Budweiser frogs. There's been many more great commercials shown during the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl is known as THE one time when the best commercials are showcased. Marketing classes study them. I think the Marketing classes this year will be concerned with why these commercials sucked so badly.

1. Lays potato chips

I like that one! The old couple fighting over the bag o' chips. too cute!

I also liked the one done by the NFL... where Parcels and assorted other NFL personalities are singing "Tomorrow" and the last screen reads, (something like) "Come morning, we're all undefeated again."

Well done.

3. That was a good one.

13. I swear I saw that one last year.

I personally don't care about the super bowl, and I wait for the acessment of the commercials the next day, and I know that I have seen this comercial before. Anyone else remember it?

2. This was a rather lackluster year for Super Bowl commercials...

although the "Tomorrow" spot was funny in kind of a sad, sick sort of way.

4. Chevy soap ad was great

all those kids getting their mouths washed out for saying

"holy shit"

the shit being bleeped.

5. uh people care about commercials enough to DISCUSS them???

People have THOUGHTS about how well giant corporations try to SELL them useless Sh*t they don't need and that contain cancer causing substances?

Wow.

US culture is in real, real bad shape.

Dang.

6. Kurt Vonnegut once wrote. . .

that as an American he doesn't have a culture, just a lot of silly commercials running around in his head.

9. when did you realize this groundbreaking discovery?

people have been talking about Superbowl commercials for 20 years now. Glad to see you found out about it.

[justinpower]

7. They dont need

To try so hard anymore. What with the tax breaks, free trade agreements and the muscling out of all the mom and pop shops. They dont need to "sell" it folks will buy it anyway.

8. Pepsi and a young Jimi Hendrix

Late in the game, Pepsi had a commercial from Seattle 1953. Little Jimi Hendrix chose Pepsi from a machine which happened to be in front of a guitar store. The Coke machine was in front of an accordion store. Purple Haze from an accordion? Nice touch.

10. I liked that one too (n/t)

It was very well done.

12. How would he know he was passed out by 6:00 pm I'll bet!

I liked the bears that raided the fridge!

14. You listen to RUSH?

Personally I liked the ad about the little donkey who could :-)

I watched the ads and not the game (and I watched very few ads at that). I have a hard time watching a bunch of overpaid adults throw eachother around while great teachers in this country are so underpaid they have to find second jobs or, worse, quit because they can't pay the bills.

15. No wit and low production values

I thought this was a particularly lame year for the commercials. Interesting to me that the ads were skewed toward frat boys of all ages yet the half-time show seem to be focused on what would appeal to 13 year old girls. I guess the SB demographics are all over the place. Janet's breast was probably the only aspect of the half-time show that most of the men over 20 appreciated.

22. No wit and low production costs

defines this years SB commercials. The lack of wit in the last two years now seems to indicate that there's a lack of talent at the biggest ad agencies. The low production costs probably mirrors the state of the economy and all the cost cutting.

I was also puzzled about the demographics that the halftime show was supposed to target. It definitely was not targeted at the 30-45 age group that are supposed to spend the most money. Maybe there was no rhyme or reason to the halftime show. Maybe they just told MTV to do it and MTV did their thing with who they consider their "hottest" performers.

Overall it was a very poor year for SB commercials.

16. Rush was just upset there were no Oxycontin ads.....

...with him as the spokesman.

[TexasPatriot]

17. i liked the glassshards popsycle ad

[stanwyck]

23. So, why that advocacy ad, which I liked, but

move.org wasn't allowed to air their ad? I don't get it. CBS has some explaining to do. Does CBS stands for Cowards Being Sly? We won't show an ad critical of the administration but we will, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, show a runaway breast. Then, cry "Oh, My" Horrors! A Breast!" Whores.

18. i liked the

Jessica Simpson/Muppets ad for some weird reason, but I think the absolute best of the night was the Simpsons mastercard commericial.

[StClone]

19. Until

I listened to Rush for five minutes during his "those childish horse fart joke ads" tirade. Then he goes on to run what I would call an equally childish parody of Al Sharpton campaign using the song "Momma told me not to Run ." Rush you want it both ways...

[Blue_Chill]

21. Why not use Fedex was the best

That had me laughin my drunk butt off last night.

[northzax]

24. sorry, I have to go with the Subway one

at the very end. or Homer's Mastercard one.

course, I just bought a sub with my mastercard, so I guess they worked.
