Favorite Super Bowl Commercials
Which ones did all of you like?
My personal favorites: Subway's "Disclaimer" commercial -- "Sorry, Wang Chung, no reunion tour." MasterCard's "Simpsons" spot.

The MasterCard spot was great, the Sprite commerical with the dunk and win had me laughing as well

Well the goodies were in very short supply this year, but I will go with the Sprite dunk commerciall.
P.S. This year's commercials blew!

The Dunk commercial was 7Up, not Sprite. And it's been in rotation before the Super Bowl for a while, I've seen it quite a few times already.
I liked the AOL commerical with the souped-up car. "I went to the Renaissance." Awesome. That Budweiser commercial with Dale Earnhardt Jr and the lipstick was funny too. And of course the Mastercard/Simpsons was very good. |

The Bud Light with the horse fart gave me a chuckle, as did the one where the Bear buys beer. the simpsons one was pretty good as well.
The only AOL one that I thought was laugh out loud funny was when they attach the thing to a car and it goes back in time. It just got me thinking about Flux Capacitors which made me laugh

Thanks for the link! AFN doesn't run commercials, so I didn't get to see ANY of them. There was a rumor that they'd play all the commercials at once today, but sadly...no. I'm not a pro football fan, so the commercials and halftime show are pretty much the only reason I watch...I ended up missing the halftime show, but from what I've heard, that wasn't a bad thing.
*off to watch commercials now*

The Staples ad: "Half a danish? Half a folder!"
The Shards o' Glass Popsicle company (antismoking); and yes, there is a shardsoglass.com website. Agreed on the lipstick, the Subway (I liked the guy in the convertable). The horse fart was horrible and tasteless. Was there any good T&A? I can't remember any. And there should have been another Terry Tate ad!

The Budweiser commercial with the Donkey wanting to pull the cart was pretty good.

Donkey wins it for me.
Then the NASCAR guy scoring the touchdown. Then the horse fart. *snicker* Simpsons gets a thumbs down from me, as does the commercial that made me check to see if my speakers blew out.

I liked the donkey and Pepsi I fought the law. Does anyone knowThe only ones I laughed at were the horse fart and the dog biting the guy's crotch. I thought the AOL ones and Simpsons Mastercard one were boring.
Does anyone know who sang that version of "I fought the law and the law won"? I was thinking about trying to download it! |

Green Day performed the cover of I Fought the Law, and it is presently exclusive at the iTunes Music Store... unless someone has hijacked it onto the filesharing programs already.

I liked the Pepsi-Jimi Hendrix commercial. I'm not sure if it was new or not but that was great. Loved hearing the Purple Haze bit on accordian, that was hilarious.

The Simpsons commercial was OK, imo not as great as some people are saying it was. The Shards O Glass commercial was great, I thought. Overall I have to agree kind of weak this year. Honorable mention - the GT commercial just before the game started! |

I thought the Subway commercial was funny but doesn't make up for the crappiness of all their earlier commercials. The Simpsons/Mastercard commercial was good too, mostly when the bees came out and landed on Homer's doughnut.
Terry Tate is still the best: http://terrytate.reebok.com/ "Sanchez, Steamer and Co." Ah, classic.

Personally, I liked the one that CBS refused to air posted here: http://www.moveon.org/cbs/ad/ (Warning: it's a political ad). I also really liked the AOL commercials even though I hate AOL.

Thanks for the links, all. I didn't watch the SB, but it's good to see the commercials. Particularly liked the Pepsi "Purple Haze" commercial, the 7up commercial (painful), the AOL commercials (I like American Chopper, so I know these guys). The Willie Nelson/H&R Block commercial is a scream if you know Willie's record with the IRS, and the Staples ad about the dictatorial supply supervisor was a scream because I Have Been There; bringing in Mike Mazurki as the enforcer at the end was funny, but again only if you know Mike Mazurki. What's the use of telling a joke to millions if only a few of them get it?
