The Best Super Bowl Commercials/Ads
I watched the big game last night with a notepad and a pencil, jotting down notes about my favortie commercials of this year’s Super Bowl ads.
There were 69 individual ads, and I filled more than 3 pages with notes. It gives me great pleasure to present my report:
5. Monster.com’s fiddling beaver
Gotta love a beaver playing the world’s smallest violin.
4. Cars.com “Regain your confidence”
Why this ad? Because while entertaining, it is also factual. Now I know how to neutralize jellyfish stings AND hit on Italian girls!
3. Audi and the Green Police
Funny bits about this commercial: “You picked the wrong day to mess with the ecosystem, buddy,” “What do you guys think about plastic bottles now, huh?” and what looks like a mongoose trained to sniff out styrofoam at the eco roadblock.
2. KGB “I surrender”
Two pasty white boys about to get flattened by a sumo wrestler. Hilarious.
1. And now, our number one ad of the 2010 Super Bowl is: Google “Parisian Love.”
Why this ad? Because it takes a lot to tell a story just through searches on the web, but they put it together beautifully.
Notable runners up:
Coca-Cola’s sleepwalking in Africa commercial.
The Volkswagen punching ad. Look for the Amish guys in the cart, and Tracy Morgan with Stevie Wonder at the end.
The Bud Light asteroid, book club and LOST ads.
And the guy who gets put in a coffin filled with Doritos.
Movie Trailers:
There were a lot of movie trailers this year. Here’s what we’ve got coming soon to theaters:
The Wolfman, coming this Friday.
Russell Crowe as Robin Hood. (looks awesome!)
Alice in Wonderland. (slightly less creepy)
Prince of Persia (knives a specialty).
The Bad, the weird, and the ugly:
Denny’s screaming chickens. Biggest waste ever. Would’ve been better if their heads had been chopped off first.
The unnecessary underwear ads that were not Bud Light’s clothing drive ad.
Go Daddy’s ridiculous ideas of what marketing is.
Sketcher’s Shapeups. As if I want to walk around looking like Frankenstein.

Hm. Figured Ray Charles was dead. Thanks for the tip.

good choices, but the one that made me laugh the most was, the doritos dog collar one where the dog gets his revenge! that one was way better than the coffin one.

i also liked the doritos commercial with the little kid whose mom said to “play nice” when the new guy came over.
