Superbowl commercials

Does anyone else watch the Super Bowl mainly for the commercials? What did you think?

I thought the "casual Friday" one and the one with the little boy "... keep your hands off my Doritos" were funny, and the Google one made me go "aaww" but all in all, they were kinda lame this year. Any favorites?

Re: Superbowl commercials

  • Ditto on everything, Amy.  I really liked the Google one. 

    Also loved the Dodge Charger Commercial:

  • ooh, yeah I forgot about that one, Karen. That one made me laugh too!
  • My favorite was the Kia Toys spot: a human sized sock monkey riding a mechanical bull is genius!  The Budweiser clydesdale/steer commercial was cute.  The Snickers/Betty White spot was hilarious.

  • My favorite was the Betty White playing football one... but I'm a big Betty White fan anyway! :) 

    Other than that, I liked the Google one and the clydesdale/steer one.  I hated the little kid Doritos one, it was so stupid.  Kids aren't supposed to talk to adults like that.

  • I forgot!  It's awesome that Tay Zonday and Chocolate Rain made it in! (It was in a Vizio commercial).  Even though the song is terrible, it's sooooo funny!

  • Every year there is so much hype with the commercials and there is only ever one or two that I find to be really good or funny....I get let down haha

     I liked the little boy for Doritos too

    Ditto! There were a couple funny ones I forgot about reading this post- like the Betty White on and the Kia toys one. But I start watching all ready to be wowed and then get let down.

  • This one also cracked me up...."Milk a what?????"

  • I liked the e-trade one that played right after the game. For some reason, those babies crack me up!

  • I thought it was interesting that Pepsi had zero presence in the commercials this year.  No Pepsi, no Mt. Dew, no sports drinks, etc. 
  • I thought all the Doritos commercials were great. My favorite was definitely "One, keep your hands off my mama; two, keep your hands off my Doritos!" That kid was so cute!

  • YES! The sock monkey! The bull-riding, embroidery tattoo, etc. BRILLIANT!

  • I read an article online a few weeks ago that Pepsi didn't buy any superbowl commercials on purpose.  It sounded like they wanted to put the money to better use.  If you think about it, it makes sense.  No matter how funny a Diet Pepsi commercial could have been yesterday, I will still like Diet Coke better.

    ...And yet the US government spends millions of dollars they really don't have to put out a census commercial that I think was supposed to be funny? 

    (...and Diet Pepsi is WAY better than Diet Coke...  just sayin.  Stick out tongue )

    That blew my mind! I didn't want to turn this political Stick out tongue but I couldn't believe that! I've seen some halfway decent spots for the Census (so I'm not totally knocking their advertising), but to waste money on something during the Superbowl that (IMO) didn't even make sense is crazy. DH sent me an article they had defending it, saying that people don't know what the Census is and that they need to do that to help people understand and send back the forms. Yeah I don't think that commercial helped anyone understand... Rant over.

    Fine, so do a commercial on "what the census is" at ANY other time than during the Superbowl. 

    And I'm pretty sure most people know what the census is.
