Commericials
Every year millions of viewers turn the tv sets on to watch the Super Bowl, well to be more honest: most watch the commercials. Budweiser did a good job this year creating commercials that grabbed the 1 and 2 slots in the ranking. "Magic Fridge" and The little clydesdale were ranked 1st and 2nd respectively. Froggiegirl and I enjoyed the hamster from the McDonalds ad. The cyldesdales playing football with the "streaker" (the just sheered lamb) was funny. Pepsi did it again (I completely agree with Froggiegirl's boss Jason on this) they spent the most money to get ads on, and their ads were the worst ones. "Brown and Bubbly"?? Are you kidding me?! Horrible. Diet Coke didn't have to spend a dime and they still got product reconition- being the stunt double for Diet Pepsi in the Jackie Chan bit. Very smart Coca-Cola. Even though their soda can got smashed, they still got publicity. So the joke is on Pepsi, who spent millions of dollars to produce these horrid ads, Coca-Cola comes out on top! AB proved once again their brillance in advertising- sticking with classic, timeless symbols- the Cyldesdales. For the record, I did watch the game- my Steelers were playing- of course I watched as they slammed the Seahawks 21-10!

The little Clydesdale ad was great. I also liked the FedEx ad with the cavemen and dinosaurs. Why does every caveman commercial have dinosaurs? To be accurate, shouldn't they at least use woolly mammoths? Or primates wielding bones as clubs a la' Space 2001? Maybe all these producers' favorite movie as a kid was King Kong.
I thought the BK one with the women dressed as the sandwich fixings was creative, different and funny...it has received a lot of bad comments tho.
