Favorite Superbowl Ad

The game stunk... I wasn't pulling for either team, but I certainly expected it to be... uh... a game worthy of watching. Yikes.

But this ad made it all worth it for me... I laughed until it hurt.

Quite a unique way to advertise a German automobile:

^^^That one was pretty good.

The GoDaddy ad was strange. Poor Danica was only on the screen for seconds. And why would black body builders need to run to a tanning salon?

The VW commercial with the guys getting wings every time a VW goes 100,000 miles was funny.

The 80's celebrities trashing the Radio Shack was good. The Maserati commercial was a WTF moment.

The series of "epic" (I think they tried to be epic, anyway) Mazerati ads were strange. They sell about 6000 cars a year, with a little over 2000 in the US. Why would they spend so much during the superbowl? Are they making a push to become a mainstream product and dramatically increase sales? The SB is usually the perview of the Fords, GMs, and VWs of the world.

I like the Budweiser one with the dog breaking in to play with the horses, then the horses breaking out to chase the dog back.

Long ones giving me time to go make a snack or take a whizz.
At halftime I went out & cleaned my shop.....time well spent.

The Audi commercial above was funny.

I also liked the Bud Light series where the guy had the greatest night of his life and ended up playing ping pong with Schwarzenegger.

Any 30 second ad that didn't wait until 25 seconds into the commercial to reveal what the ad was for.

I thought he looked OK. He's still a legend.
