I don't really understand the reverence toward the "Mean Joe Green" ad. It's kind of cute but no big thing. Anyway, I was wondering just how many FReepers are really interested in this poll.

What I do know is that the SB commercials have really been lousy recently.

[misterrob]

Bud usually had good commercials.

Special Stupor Bowel Ping! :)

[mainepatsfan]

They're about the only ones. I remember when just about every ad was entertaining.

[BigSkyFreeper]

The Ameriquest ads from last year were funny.

The E-Trade ad in the 2001 Super Bowl about the dot com bust with the chimp playing the indian going through the wasteland was killer.

He cries after seeing the Pets.com sock puppet on the ground.

This screenshot is from a classic ad, called '1984', that ran during Super Bowl XVIII in 1984, for the Apple computer. The concluding screen showed the message and voice over "On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like '1984'." At the end, the Apple "rainbow bitten apple" logo is shown on a black background.

Gee, looks like Candice Michelle. Can recognize those guns from a mile away.

ROTFL
That was my all time favorite

[Jo Nuvark]

My favorite was 2001 Budweiser Team racing toward
"somewhere" in the cold morning snow. Suddenly they stop.
In powerful silence, the entire team begins to kneel down
on their front hooves. The camera then pans from the
ground up and across the bay, pulling to a wide shot of the
team bowing in reverence to Lady Liberty at ground zero.

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you,

or the birds of the air, and they will tell you;

or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,

or let the fish of the sea inform you.

Which of all these does not know

that the hand of the Lord has done this?

-- Job 12:7-9 --

YouTube to the rescue

[Not A Snowbird]

I love the cat herding one.

[Jo Nuvark]

I love you ES!!!

Thank you for finding that commercial. I hadn't thought
of Youtube. I also noticed that they never showed it
again.

Blessings!

I vote for the streaker

[RayChuang88]

How come they didn't mention the legendary 1984 ad for the Apple Macintosh or the Budweiser ad with the real zebra looking at the replay set?

[EveningStar]

They were both in the preliminary poll.

[theDentist]

I've yet to see a commercial tonight that's very "memorable". They all seem the same... forgettable.
