The Commercial Bowl

So who do you think won the Super Bowl Commerical battle?
I have to admit that I wasn’t very impressed with most of them. I mean, if you’re going to spend $3 million for a 30 second advertising spot I would expect a little more than men walking around without pants or a guy getting slapped by a kid. And what about those GoDaddy.com commercials where they advertised their website on a woman’s chest? Funny or demeaning?
One of my least favorite commercials were the Doritos ones. I just don’t see the humor in a guy getting shocked by a dog collar or someone getting a Dorito stuck in the side of his neck. However, what was funny was that I was on Twitter dissing these commericals when I heard Kiana go into the pantry. When she came out she was carrying a Costco-sized bag of Doritos and begging me to let her have some for dinner. I don’t think a 4 year old was their target market but they definitely made an impression with her!
My favorite commercial had to be the Audi-Green Police. It was hilarious and they definitely got their point across. Next time I’ll definitely think twice before choosing plastic.
So which commercial was your favorite/least favorite?

My favorite was the google ad – the guy searches for flights to Paris, then chocolate places in Paris, then churches in Paris, then directions for how to build a crib. It was sweet, simple, and almost made me cry. I guess it’s kind of creepy how much google tracks us, but I really thought it was a lovely commercial (especially compared with some of those misogynistic and/or nakedness reveling ads!).

My favorite was the Letterman/Leno/Oprah commercial, which wasn’t really one of the expensive commercials, but it was funnier in my opinion than any of the others.

I thought the Google commercial was the best. No special effects. Just simple, straightforward, yet it was really effective.
I’ve never liked the GoDaddy adds. They are demeaning to women and I agree w/ you on the commercials; this wasn’t one of the best years for super bowl adds.
I liked the Leno/Oprah/Letterman add too. Thought it was one of the best.

I loved the snicker commercial though

Betty White and the Snickers Commercial was great and the other was the Doritios. These were the worst commercials I’ve seen on a Super Bowl in years.

I didn’t watch the Superbowl … so I don’t have a favorite. But I did love the story about Kiana! That is really great!

You want to know something funny: One of my good friends actually KNOWS that anteater in the commercial. Yes ma’am, I know someone who knows a star! LOL

I loved the Snickers Betty White commercial and I did like the Doritos dog collar one because I don’t like any dogs getting hurt, so the owner deserved to get zapped. I love that photo of Kiana and I think the story is just hysterical…
