Ok, official Super Bowl ADS thread!

[Archae]

Nothing yet...

[Archae]

1. Just saw the Ford ad.

Big bad biker gang intimidated by Ford trucks. :crazy:

[petronius]

3. It was interesting

that the commercial overtly stated what the underlying big truck/SUV message has always been: "it makes you tough." In the past, they've always at least pretended that these vehicles were aimed at people who have a real use for them...

[havocmom]

2. The cow going to California was pretty cute.

Loved the ice on the chins and the ND, MN accent of the cows standing in the snow!

[Al Dente]

4. Just saw

Bud light ad where the pilot jumps out of the plane after some beer. heh

[Lefta Dissenter]

5. I haven't missed

the Clydesdales, have I? :(

[Archae]

6. Not yet.

n/t

[Rex]

7. Guy just dies in a winter blizzard cuz he bought a convertible

bummer. That's not nice.

[Archae]

8. That one was stupid.

Ford Mustang convertible.

[Lefta Dissenter]

11. I thought that one

was horrible. Aren't we seeing enough death these days??? Oh, that's right, we don't see the REAL dead, only the fake ones in order to sell stuff... :(

[Archae]

9. LOL! At P. Diddy and the Pepsi truck.

:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. 5. Groin Kick

That was a good ad!

[RetroLounge]

17. Agree. Made me chuckle.

RL

[Borgnine]

41. That was a good ad.

Because it does reveal the formula for these Super Bowl ads, and how annoying they become when you're aware of said formula.

Plus, Burt Reynolds makes me laugh for some reason.

[Endangered Specie]

51. Commericals that make fun of other commercials are usually the best.

[HeyManThatsCool]

12. Ok.. ummm- this GO DADDY commercial is gross

They pulled the Mickey Rooney ad for THAT?

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. The guy sucking oxygen was kinda funny, though

But otherwise, yeah, dumb ad.

[ALago1]

20. It was dumb, and sexist, but...

...anything that could get the right-wing faux-morality crusader's panties in a collective bunch can't be all bad...

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. But the children, ALago1, think of the children!!

Watching large grown men display violent behavior in an effort to out-Mars one another in a homoerotic close physical dance of bodies is a good, Christian, family values thing! The kids don't need to be knowing that women have breasts during such a pure, clean, Christian show like the Super War On the GridIron and Patriotic Man-on-Man AssSlapping and Groin-Grabbing Fest.

Breasts are dirty and filthy and librul and Satanic!!

[ALago1]

30. LOL "Breasts are librul"

That's just too funny...

[zulchzulu]

81. It was an "in your face" response ad to the Freepers

Dumb ad, but the whole McCarthy committee hearing thing was a funny spin.

[Misunderestimator]

14. I despise the sexist commercial they just showed...

with the "wardrobe malfunction"... I'm sure they thought it was oh so clever.

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. The homoerotic overtones of the Pepsi ad was interesting

Who was the guy who looked at the Pepsi guy? For a moment, I thought he was a famous someone else, but it wasn't, but he still seems familiar.

[GiovanniC]

18. The Dude From Queer Eye?

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Ah, that could be!

I can't verify it, but that could very well be!

[RetroLounge]

That was the guy from Queer Eye.

homoerotic overtones = You bet...

RL

[Archae]

16. The one where a hunky guy with a Pepsi is followed cracked me up.

n/t

[Dookus]

19. yeah

it was just OK then Carson Kressley joined it... pretty funny.

[TheWebHead]

22. volvo ad and Virgin Galactic contest

52. Catch 22.

[makhno]

23. Weird Bud Light ad

Two guys sitting in a bar, describing their fantasies:

- A hot girl, Bud Light .. a second hot girl.

The guy ends up on an island with his beer and two hot girls, who proceed to bitch him out about some household stuff. He amends his fantasy, ending up with a bottle of Bud, a dog and a grill.

I'm usually not particularly receptive to feminist rhetoric, but this struck me as somewhat .. reactionary. Women/dogs/grills as interchangeable commodities? Women as nothing but a nagging hassle in a man's life?

Maybe I'm overanalyzing this.

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. I have to admit, I found it kinda funny and clever

though certainly sexist.

But reminds me of the old phrase "Be careful what you wish for". With two women, you got two people making demands on your time and presence. :-)

[mourningdove92]

25. Ok, I'm not watching theSB (I am replaying Legend of Zelda)

but I heard my SO laughing her ass off, so I went in and TIVO'd the last two..the pepsi/queer eye guy and the wardrobe malfunction.

hmmmm, seems to me like there is some tongue in cheek humor going on. Making fun of the tight assed, homophobic, can't let my kids see a boob, right wingers.

least that's how I see it.
LOVE IT

[Archae]

26. And Pepsi's a big enough company...

They can tell the fundys to get screwed.

[Misunderestimator]

32. I found the Go Daddy one... the wardrobe one... to be incredibly

insulting and objectifying towards women. Pretty poor way to make fun of the tight-assed response to Janet Jackson's performance to have a scantilly-clad big-breasted woman dressed and behaving entirely inappropriately for the situation being oogled and drooled over by a bunch of old ugly guys.

[ALago1]

43. I just thought of something

How could a small startup company afford the 2 million dollar buy-in to get a commercial during the Super Bowl? Weird.

[Rabrrrrrr]

44. godaddy.com has been around for years

[ALago1]

49. Ah i see. Didn't know that. n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. Sharon? "Yeah, she's sharin' all right"

:7

[SmileyBoy]

29. That's your apartment... That's your Bud Light... That's your girlfriend.

LOL!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. Heh heh - the Abe Lincoln fry was cool. Excellent usage of

having it be an old Japanese guy bidding on it.

Not as clever as it could have been, but good.

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. LOL! Love the superhoeroes one!

Especially the appearance of Underdog at the end.

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Ameriquest - BRILLIANT!!

"You're getting robbed"

Love the baseball bat.

[HeyManThatsCool]

35. Ah Ha- the Ameriquest Don't judge Ad

funny

[zulchzulu]

42. Good surprise element...makes a good ad

One time ad prolly...

[Wapsie B]

84. That was so good!

The guy holding that cat in one hand and a chef's knife in the other with pasta sauce was priceless! Bravo! LOL.

[ALago1]

36. Quiznos add: meh

I liked it better when they embraced the absurdity of those weird puppets...

[Misunderestimator]

37. WTF... Quizno's sexualizing a toddler? What's next?

[fishwax]

68. yeah, those are just creepy

:wtf:

[makhno]

38. Jesus, worst ad ever

A deformed, talking kid .. I'm going to have nightmares.

[Misunderestimator]

39. Yeah, and talking like a flirtatious middle-aged man...

creepy

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. That was just fuckin' dumb, and devoid of any real production values

Definitely not worthy of a SuperBowl ad.

[SmileyBoy]

45. "No pads, no helmets and no million-dollar commercials."

So true.

[Rabrrrrrr]

46. ROTFL! Gladys Knight's appearance had me laughing my ass off

Dumb ending, sadly, but it was hilarious!

[zulchzulu]

50. Nice element of surprise with Gladys...but I hate MBNA

I know people who work there in Wilmington, DE and they are fucking evil Repugs to the max.

Pretzels?

[zulchzulu]

47. MBNA..an evil company with a ....OK.... ad

Must have been made in Delaware...

[zulchzulu]

48. DFA should have done an ad

Or MoveOn....OK...what would Soros pay for...

[Rabrrrrrr]

53. I didn't get the Bud ad with the animals at all

"Now look what you started"?

[Archae]

55. Last year the donkey got in with th Clydesdales.

Ok?

[Rabrrrrrr]

58. I see. I missed it last year.

Pretty clever then, to reference an ad from the year before.

:7

[Endangered Specie]

54. How much are they costing this year?

[Rabrrrrrr]

56. The ad with MCHammer was funny, except for MC Hammer

useless no-talent.

"Hey - it's my dad's 72 Dodge!" (or whatever the car was). That was great!

[Archae]

59. The kids throw Hammer back!

:D

[makhno]

61. Yeah, made me chuckle

.. but then, I chuckle every time I hear an MC Hammer tune.

[makhno]

57. John Travolta

The guy's hell-bent on wiping out whatever little credibility Pulp Fiction gave him back .. 10 years ago.

[zulchzulu]

62. John and whatshername...Emma...Emu...Ima...um...

Anyways, she's always the airhead.

Total pimpout shit movie taking Pulp Fiction scenes...more not funny than funny

[zulchzulu]

60. Degree perfume ad

Funny...I wanna see it again....mommy!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

63. Well, dudes, I'm signing off - much as I love the ads,

I'm not in the mood for watching the constant interruption of the game, so I'm going to watch Star Wars Episode VI.

Go Empire!!!

Enjoy the rest of the game, everyone!

[DainBramaged]

64. Motorheads delight

The Cadillac ad.

[Rex]

65. BATMAN RETURNS!

nt

[Borgnine]

67. YES!

My most anticipated movie this year.

[makhno]

66. Where's your nametag?

Smooth .. but not rich. Heh.

[zulchzulu]

69. Gee, I liked the Tabasco ad

They've come a long way.

[zulchzulu]

70. Soldiers coming home from airport...unscathed...smiling...walking...

An AB ad.

[Misunderestimator]

71. Here we go... Anheuser Busch... so fucking patriotic...

:eyes:

[zulchzulu]

77. Shiny Happy Iraq War Vets

Not an injury anywhere...

[HuckleB]

72. Did anyone else see the sick "come to Jesus" ad?

[zulchzulu]

74. Must have been either local ad or my channel played local ads

I've seen a few...including some repeats of the Fargo spoof ad for Ford...

[zulchzulu]

75. Ameriquest ad with the "bloody cat" was very funny

Better than the "fake robbery" ad...

[zulchzulu]

73. Napster ad: who would have thought...up against iTunes.

I guess Limewire should do a commercial.

[makhno]

76. Those Ameriquest ads are ill

The store, now the cat .. awesome.

[zulchzulu]

78. Cat ad was very funny

Burglar ad funny too...but the guiy was really more personalized than the store ad guy.

[Rex]

79. WAR OF THE WORLDS!

Tom in WW? Yay!!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

83. Pretty *#$*^%* disgusting, isn't it?

Makes me sick to think of that shitnoggin' no-talent fool in a story that is as close to sacred in the science fiction canon as can be.

Disgusting.

And directed by Steven "I don't so much tell a story as I do rape the shit out of it and make sure to tell you exactly how you are supposed to feel" Spielberg.

Utterly disguting.

[zulchzulu]

80. Hybrid Toyota ad was pretty cool

Nice effects...good message.

[Briarius]

82. yea, that one got me to look up n/t
