The consensus with our gang:
1) VW/Darth Vader. By a long shot.
2) Doritos/Grandpa. A little too much fluff at the start, last few seconds made it memorable.
3) NFL Fans ad. All the retro characters in current NFL garb was a nice touch.
Beyond that, nothing really stood out. And I, personally, thought the game was pretty sloppy except for maybe the last 10 minutes of the 4th quarter. Then again, a lot of that had to do with the slipping and sliding on the turf of “Jonestown Stadium”.
1) VW/Darth Vader. By a long shot. That was the consensus at my house last night, and again here at work today. It was really cute, and was a HOME RUN with the "moms".... well, pretty much with the Dad's too.
Actually, the other VW ad was pretty well done too... the Speedy Beetle! I got it...
I HATED ALL the Dorito ads... The pug one was the LEAST offensive, but... was still pretty lame.
I was also VERY disappointed in the e-trade ads. I mean, they were OK....but, after their last one, with the baby in "time out" for "riding the dog like a horse"... I was expecting a LOT better.
As others have mentioned, I liked the monkeys in the parking lot... and, the Ozzie ad was funny, but not effective. What the heck was Best Buy selling there? I have no idea.
I was SHOCKED at how many ads WE helped pay for... GM and Chrysler.... and, boy... were there a LOT of FOX ads, or what? I have to wonder whether they REALLY sold as many as they wanted to???
