Good Game, So-So Commercials

[wolf]

I was pleasantly surprised by there actually being some pretty good football in the SuperBowl. Certainly unusual. The commercials came up short this year, though, in my not so humble opinion ...

I only identified two total loser commercials, ones that just didn't click for me at all ... those were Levi Jeans: Buffalo Stampede and AT&T Wireless MLife: Gilligan's Island. These companies should fire their ad agencies NOW.

Budweiser rules the roost yet again, not by way of making better beer, but by having better commercials. I'm having a hard time deciding which was more clever ... The Assclown or No Pets. (I'm leaning toward assclown). I enjoyed the "instant replay" ad as well, very low key, until you saw the zebra, anyway. Bring back the Bud Bowl!

The Pepsi Twist Commercial with the Osbournes had me giggling, even on the repeat, but probably won't hold up to repeat viewing very well.

Guilty pleasures for this year include Visa Check Card: Yo/Yao, Fedex: Castaway, and Trident: 5th out of 5 Dentists.

The Best Use of Body Fluids Award goes to Dodge Ram Truck: Heimlich. I'm guessing that anytime we see that add from now on, there will not be the same close focus shot of the regurgitated beef jerky (which is probably just as well).
