I would have reviewed the whole Super Bowl again this year, but I actually went to someone else’s house and didn’t want to sit there taking notes the whole time. Also, I was doing shots every time there was a sack, and there were quite a few, if you know what I mean. Instead, here’s this:
Best:
Honorable Mentions: DirectTV ad with the kid growing up watching TV, Ameriquest Surprise with the cat, the knife, and the spilled red sauce
5. Godaddy.com’s scantily dressed Congressional hearing
4. CareerBuilder’s working with monkeys
3. NFL Network’s “Tomorrow, we’re all undefeated… again.”
2. Jumping out of an airplane with Bud Light
1. FedEx’s 10 best things includes Burt Reynolds and a bear
Worst:
Honorable Mentions: MC Hammer’s useless cameo, Mastercard’s food icons all get together to eat dinner, Brad Pitt’s Heiniken seemed to have promise, but ending up being nothing
5. Diet Pepsi Truck with P. Diddy. Actually, this made me chuckle at first, but it will be shown millions of times, and it features Carson Daly, so it goes on the bad list. Also on this list, Pepsi iTunes with the musical bottles.
4. Verizon’s phone means celebs (including Kid Rock, ugh) are miniturizing
3. I think it was Ford, with the convertible that couldn’t be released in winter– Look, here’s a guy who loves our cars so much he freezes to death for them! HA! Buy a Ford!
2. Budweiser’s troops applauded as they walk through the airport. Yay troops! Go kill some people! Kill them until they’re dead! Yes, I know what they meant, but the ad itself, run by a beer company, was just sickening to me. A complex and horrible issue, completely whitewashed by patriotism and commercialism.
1. Muppets selling Pizza Hut dipping things. What a waste. Even the old Muppet men weren’t funny, and you have to get up pretty early in the morning to make Statler and Waldorf not funny.
Did I forget some? Let me know.
