Some good. None great. A weak year for spots.

What game?

They all sucked! The Coke ones were a little entertaining, but that doesn't elevate the crowd of commercials beyond annoyances. It felt like no one even tried to make a good commercial. I held my bladder for THESE?!!?

I agree.

To me this was the worst year for commercials in memory.
I can't even think of one that I thought was up to the usual level we're used to.
Last year was kind of weak, but not this bad.

The long version was much better than the one shown on TV.

I like the long version better too but I don't ever see it airing on network TV in its entirety.

Had a good laugh at this one.

Yeah, that one was pretty good come to think of it.
I haven't seen the long version.

I don't find anything about Steel Beasts in there?

Number 48

I watched most of the Super Bowl. Only commercial i remember is the Chevy end of world scenario.

The Chevy commercial made me laugh.

no, this

"Young man....."

The cat killing dog.


You didn't see nuthin

Did anyone else think the E-Trade baby one was creepy? Speed dating? Why didn't they just put Sandusky in there and saying he was speed dating.

The VW one with the dog and Darth Vader at the end made me chuckle. The bulldog with the running shoes was cute too. There was one other one that made me chuckle, but I can't remember which one it was.

That was my favorite.

the dog was one of my high school teacher's great danes :p, filmed in my neighborhood....

and No I didnt edit it.. or i'd be posting random $100 give-a-ways here for shiz and giggles....

(seriously if i won the lottery ($1mill+) i'd give away $100 to every forum section.)

I thought the Samsung phone one was funny as was the "Dream Car" which was a KIA. Damn did all these people look old in the commercials though, Motley Crew, Sienfeld, or Broderick...

Yes, that struck me as creepy too.

The Chevrolet end of the world ad was nice, I thought. But there were none that I saw I thought were great.

"Chrysler - It's Halftime in America" commercial with Clint Eastwood, I was actually pretty surprised/impressed/moved by it, call me a chump maybe but I liked it.

Only later did I see the conservative media stories about how it was a liberal re-election campaign ad... I don't agree but it was sad to see how divided the country really is (which is one of the things the ad pointed out and was trying to change ironically enough). I don't even like Chryslers or politics but liked the uplifting message...

Great game! and I wasn't even rooting for anyone in particular.

Funny part is Clint is a Republican moderate conservative.

Did I read that commercial wrong? Talking about how Detroit managed to recover as a backdrop to American families struggling? Well I'm sure most every family could avoid hard times if the government bailed them out.

I guess it probably depends on how informed/predisposed you are on the subject, but when I watched it I didn't even see it as a Chrysler specific ad or bailout politics ad, just a good message about how bad and scary the situation is with the country and unemployment and people fighting about it and using the Detroit situation as a metaphor for how we can come together and turn it around in the "second half".

I can definitely see how it can touch off some people's sensitive buttons though, too bad as I think the overall message is a positive one and why I liked the commercial.
