What did you think of the first e-Trade commercial?
With the monkey and the musical? Too self-referential. Too forced. Making a "bad" commercial and then talking about how bad it is? I don't want my Super Bowl commercials to be post modern.
Speaking of post modern, I got a fortune cookie in my lunch the other day. It said "You will smile at this fortune." Just what I want, hip, nihilistic post modern fortune cookies!
I also liked the Barry Bonds/ Hank Aaron spot.
I didn't catch what they said. Everyone at the cinema grill was too busy booing Barry bonds. Old habits die hard. :-)
I liked the Bud Light spot where the falcon or hawk was coming back with Bud Lights.

Really? I watched the first half of the game with a group of family and coworkers over at my brother's house, and this is the one commercial that made us laugh out loud. As we were watching the first part, we were saying, "oh my God, this is sooooo bad" "what were they thinking?" "a monkey?" I thought it set up the second half of the commercial perfectly, because it was just "under the top" enough to be credible as a bad commercial. The surprise of the second part was quite entertaining.

That one was really good too, as was the other Bud commercial with the man and woman shopping for greeting cards.
The ones I thought were brutally bad were the "Quizno Subs" spots, and the Danny De Vito puppet spot for Brisk iced tea. The anti-smoking ads were just offensive.
