Superbowl COMMERCIALS Thread (Discuss Superbowl Commercials: Good, Bad, and Ugly)
Self | February 4, 2007 | PJ-Comix

Posted on 02/04/2007 10:05:19 AM PST by PJ-Comix

Half the FUn (maybe more) of watching the Superbowl is seeing the commercials. Remember, the ad agencies try to put their most creative commercials on during the Superbowl. Therefore, the purpose of this discussion thread will be to analyze today's Superbowl commercials: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

There seems to be a concensus that the best Superbowl commercials were the 1984 Apple commercial introducing the Mac and the original Budweiser frogs commercial.

In the hours leading into tonight's Superbowl, feel free to post your fave (and most hated) Superbowl commercials. Once the game begins, let us have an analysis of this year's Superbowl commercials.

I think the subtitles were on the original Mac commercial. Or am I wrong?

A bit of trivia on this commercial (which is my personal fav ). The commercial was directed by Ridley Scott of 'Alien' fame. An extensive Wikipedia article provides lots of details.

GoDaddy - OK
Coke - cute (Grand theft soda?)
CBS - See BS

Are they plugging all their shows because they couldn't sell all the ads or because it is the only way most of America will have ever heard of the shows?

Coke was a spoof of Grand Theft Auto video game.

Coke used computer graphics reminiscent a bit of Grand Theft Auto game.

Garmin was a mess.

The map monster was clever, but it's not hard to tame a map monster.

The dog commercial was good esp. the end, with the girl with dirt all over her face.

That Snickers commercial has to be the gayest commercial since that Ike & Bob commercial that I posted earlier in this thread.

And it's now been equaled or surpassed by Garmin.
