Super Bowl Ads- See Them Here, Vote For Your Favorite
The Super Bowl was well-played, but as is often the case, it was missing real end-of- game drama. There is still some excitement with the multi-million dollar commercials. Below are my brief comments and the link to view them yourself and vote.
McDonalds- Disclosure: I don't like McDonalds. This french fry commercial seems to spoof the (Latin?) phenomenon of claims of religious icon manifestation in the most mundane places. And of course, at the commercial's conclusion, a woman takes a big, long, fat fry in her mouth. Charming.
Diet Pepsi- I think this is pretty funny. A real hunk walks down the street (drinking DP) and is so appealing that women, a man and even a small dog gawk and follow him.
GoDaddy.com- This ad seems to have been created for the sole purpose of once again raising Donald Wildmon's blood pressure. It isn't particularly clever or funny, but for the aforementioned intention, it has some merit.
Bud Light- I guess some find the idea of a pilot abandoning his plane in mid-flight, sans a parachute, to pursue Bud Light a hilarious notion. Maybe it's just me, but since 9/11/01 I no longer find even the movie "Airplane" funny.
Anheuser-Busch- This is simply the best. I'm one of those people who didn't choose this war, but I feel for the troops. This ad is excellent for its subdued, almost bittersweet tone of support for returning American soldiers. It seems to be offered as an antidote to the near-mythical hostility Viet Nam vets were said to have experienced upon their return.
Ameriquest- Apparently many viewers find the mistaken perception of a murdered cat funnier than I do.
Degree- WTF?
Olympus- I'm in a minority here, but I dig this ad. I wish I could dance like these characters and I want one of these Olympus toys.
FedEx Kinkos- This is the most clever of the bunch. It exposes the "formula" for a successful commercial. It may be too "film school" for the masses.
Emerald Nuts- It's hard to identify and laugh with a character who denies nuts to his daughter and misrepresents loveable American folklore characters.
Careerbuilder.com- Not bad. The chimps are corporate suits (not that much of a stretch). One is even seen literally kissing ass.
