Was it just me or did every other ad have some poor shmuck being subjected to extreme physical violence? I know advertisers have low opinions on the intelligence of football fans, but this was obnoxious. Every punchline was just that, a punch, occasionally spiced up with a scantily clad woman. Next year we'll have scanitly clad women being punched and the knuckle draggers will squeal with glee. Yipee!!!!
 
The Doritos commercial that had the glass ball that went through the vending machine was made by two indie's from Indiana for $2k, they won the $1 million from Doritos for it.

They were on good morning america this morning. It was a really good story.
 
I too wasn't impressed with this years offering. (Monster.com's Moose was probably one of the best.)

Fortunately the game was better than the ads this year. :thumbsup:
 
Wasn't terribly impressed either, but I did really like the Doritos vending machine spot. A few others were impessive and you could see alot of time and money went into them, but apparently they didnt leave enough of an impression for me to remember them. HOWEVER - the wings at Wing Run did. Damn those are the best wings I've had. If you're ever in Tulsa, OK do yourself a favor and go to the Wing Run. Good stuff...
 
I liked the NBC "Laughing your butt off" that was the funniest one to me. Cash4gold was pretty good to. the solid gold toilet was funny.

I also liked the career builder ad where the black dude was drinking liquid gold. that part had me cracking up.

Overall, I was unimpressed. the doritos crystal ball was not funny to me. Great story though.

I'm a Raven's fan and I detest the Steelers so the only real reason I watched the game was for the GI Joe trailer and the Transformers 2 trailer. After I saw both of those I went to bed.

GI Joe + Stephen Sommers = NO WAY IN HELL I'M STEPPING FOOT IN THE THEATER SHOWING THIS!!!
 
man, it's like every ad agency has gone back to experemental and every company who pays them lacks the nads to tell em their concept sucks and to pitch something that will move some product.
If AB-Inbev ever writes another check to DDB, someone is one the freakin take.
The Bud Light Lime Summer State of Mind Spot flopped horribly. The effect was nothing close to what was pitched. I'm hoping they don't pull from my budget to pay for egg on their face.

Spots from other brands were bad too. I saw reach after reach to be edgy with very few actaul brand messages. I saw very little attempt to show the public products or services. It's become a circus... who can make the tabloids the next day with the most abstract clusterfuk of imagery with the biggest budget.
 
anyone see the split second miller hi-life ad? The guy just screamed high life then it was gone. it was second long.

Ha! Ha! I loved it, I saw him on Jay Leno talking about the 1 sec commercial.

They should have had 30 one second commercials. Or they should have aired it 30 times.
