2005 Super Bowl Commercials

Interestingly, the Cat ad was NOT selling the spaghetti sauce ... Anybody else remember what it was?

I thought the monkey ads were overdone for careerbuilder.com, cute but overdone since they had about one per quarter. I did get a chuckle out of the last one, though ... with the board meeting and the asskisser.

The funniest one, I thought, was Fedex/Kinkos ... which probably won't run again, since it directly referred how to make a successful SuperBowl commercial ... Celebrity, Animal, Dancing Animal, Talking Animal, Hot Chicks, etc.

Most annoying was the Blockbuster reversing down the driveway ad ... which I saw three times in a row during the pregame.

The Mustang/Fargo ad was good, but also overplayed. Did that run twice in a row in the final quarter or not?

Budweiser, which had my favorite commercial a couple of years ago with the Clydesdale bow to the WTC gave us another tearjerker this year with standing ovation in the airport. Nicely, nicely done. They also scored with the Cedric the Entertainer Designated Driver ad, I thought.

Most of the car ads were pretty unremarkable.

The "Smooth not rich" "Rich not smooth" ads were annoying not funny. There has to be a better way to sell beer ...

Oh, I did like the Heinekin ad.
