Superbowl Ad Thread

Super Bowl | 2/8/2010 | Me

I’m with you. I thought most of the ads were dumb. The ones that showed people without clothes were disgusting and showed how our culture has been denigrated by progressives.

doing odd things to get beer?

hmmmm, I missed that one.

In fact, I missed almost all of them as I was watching and posting away on the SB thread ‘til I hit the beer wall.

I was sick & tired of the Dennys “Screaming Chickens” ads after seeing 4-5 of them.

[Hot Tabasco]

The top commercial for Doritos was the dog anti-bark collar one. The guy who produced it won a cash prize from them and was hosted at a suite in the stadium. He is just a young college age kid with aspirations of becoming a producer. He said he and approx. 11 friends made the commercial on a budget between $200 and $400..........

Pretty cool.......

The only good commercials were the Tebow, Doritos dog collar, house made from Bud Light, Clydesdales and Screaming Chicken.

The rest were either men-as-wimps, boring, or pointless (animals freeze reacting to Car ads?, Danica Patrick doing 1/4 of a commercial for a commercial?)

Worst Superbowl ads since the height of the dot com boom.

[Vendome]

Most of the Ads were dumb and a couple made no sense what so ever. Couldn’t figure what they were selling.

You are not old, just perceptive.

Overall my husband and I thought it was the worst crop of Super Bowl ads we've seen in YEARS. We must be officially "over the hill" as well, or else Madison Avenue saved tons of $$$$ by hiring bottom-of-the-barrel ad writers this year...

We liked the Tim Tebow ad, the Audi "Green Police" ad (found it funny and disturbing, though), the one Doritos ad with the little kid telling the boyfriend: "Keep your hands off my momma, and keep your hands off my Doritos!". We always love the e-Trade baby ads. I also thought the Budweiser Clydesdale horse ad with the steer was "cute", but not overly memorable.

[Pessimist]

I only saw a few ads, but I think I know what you’re talking abuout anyway.

Who wouldn’t?

Is there really any other kind of ad today? Aren’t all white males (and even black ones too sometimes) just a bunch foolish goobers? Isn’t it always the wife / girlfriend, or even the children who know everything?

There’s a pretty serious message about society in there.

To wit: men are fools who are only useful for income and distasteful chores.

[nutmeg]

Darn, I was distracted and didn’t see the entire Doritos dog collar ad. We liked the one with the little kid telling the boyfriend: “Keep your hands off my momma, and keep your hands off my Doritos!” LOL

The only one I like was the Snickers commercial with Betty White and Abe Vigoda playing football.

Even the E-trade commercials, which are usually the best, fell flat. All in all, bad crop all around.

[brytlea]

I actually thought the sans clothes ads did a great service. They reminded us why we don’t want to see most people partially clothed.
But I agree, I didn’t think the ads, overall were that good. And many I just didn’t get. If that means I’m old, then thank goodness I am.

[fr_freak]

I only watched the last half of the Superbowl, but just within that space I noticed that there were a few ads with the theme of the spineless wimp guy who lets his woman run his life. One was advertising a car, another a portable TV, and another whose product I can’t remember. The really sad part is that there is a lot of truth to that theme, from what I’ve seen. I wonder how many guys will (correctly) see themselves in those commercials?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Am I the only one who noticed that the “chickens” who were panicked over having to lay more eggs all had combs on their heads?

Anyone? Bueller?

[brytlea]

Was that Abe Vigoda?? Wow, he’s gotten really old! I didn’t recognize him, I wondered why they used just an unknown old man!

[o_zarkman44]

I didn’t see one ad that persuaded me to purchase a product I wouldn’t already purchase.

A few cute ones. (ETrade Babies) A lot of idiots (Bud people bridge). A profound waste of money by the companies who hired the ad agencies.

Not one Boulevard Beer Commercial. which I was drinking with no frills satisfaction.

[Our man in washington]

I like a good brew sometimes myself, but there’s an unpleasant point about much of alcohol advertising. The biggest market for alcohol is with alcoholics. If you can get alcoholics to prefer your brand, you will do well.

Thus, it makes sense to make ads to appeal to alcoholics. Alcoholics will do almost anything to get another drink. The images of people letting trucks drive over them or whatever are intended to get a sympathetic response from alocholics.

[freedumb2003]

I didn’t care for that one. I think the idea of a hild slapping an adult under any circumstance isn’t funny.

[pgkdan]

You my friend, are not alone. The only 2 comme3rcials that I thought were even mildly amusing were the Doritos commercial with the little boy and his mother’s date and the Betty White commercial. The rest were either over my head or too stupid to mention.

[brytlea]

I do admit that I have the March song from Stripes stuck in my head today....
