...So if I'm, stepping on someone's toes, uh, well.....I haven't seen a thread yet that was devoted to the only part of the Superbowl I deem worthy of looking up from my knitting, (But, yes, DA BEARS).

So go ahead and tell us what you think. I haven't seen any pre-game shows (there's a Little House marathon on the Hallmark channel!) so this will be interesting. Couldn't find any previews on AdAge's page...so I hope they're good.

I WILL NEVER EAT ANOTHER SNICKERS!

whew.. ok now. Best commercials:
1. the made-out-of-mud Dalmatian one.
2. the Blockbuster mouse one.
3. NFL.com - Brett Farve at the end was a great touch.

It was "lame", in a way. Just like last year. A few cute commercials, etc, but lots that seemed "normal".

Which in many ways I'm grateful for the trend. Seems stupid how so many would go over the top for this 1 day. Stupid marketing, especially when they'd forget to really plug the product and you ONLY remember the story-line of the commercial - not the product. Also some were trying so hard - that's all it looked like. Too much artificial garbage.

Maybe they've finally figured out that it ain't worth the $$$ and the bottom is falling out of the Super Bowl for endorsements.

The Kevin Federline one was pretty funny. It starts off as a Kevin Federline video, all jazzy, him acting all cool and everything, next thing you hear is "Federline get back to work" and you realize it's a fantasy and Federline is flipping burgers. Then it's "Life comes at you fast".

Too bad I don't remember the product that was being sold though.

Mostly crappy ads this year. Were we supposed to feel sorry for a GM assembly-line robot when they have been laying off thousands of HUMANS? Gay Snickers ad was lame. My fave was low-tech and old-school funny - Carlos Mencia "teaching the foreigners". Sort of politically incorrect which I liked!

What commericals I saw were terrible and tastless, no imagination, etc. Worst year for these things.
