Super Bowl Commercials

#1 Post by peacock2121 » Fri Feb 01, 2008 6:50 am

I have tended to forget what ones I really liked and what ones I didn't. I have also forgotten what many of them were advertising.

This year, I am going to watch with a note pad near by. I will be taking notes.

The most creative ones tend to have nothing to do with what they advertise.

ABC News had a story about a company that wanted to buy a two-second ad during the Superbowl, but TPTB told him they didn't have time to run it. He ended up getting a whole minute of free advertising in the story, instead. :roll:

One of my all-time favorite was years ago.

It came before the dot.com crash.

A dot.com of some sort was talking about being more agile and able to outrun and outmaneuver your opponent.

The backdrop was the yearly run at Pamplona. Except, instead of bulls, it was squirrels.

Laughed so hard I couldn't stop crying.

One of my forgotten favorites from about 6 or 7 years ago was the e*Trade commercial with the guy who was in the ER because he had money coming out the wazoo. I think I saw it just one other time after that Super Bowl....

I saw a commercial last night that screamed "produced for the Super Bowl."

It featured dozens of dalmatians in all sizes chasing through the streets in pursuit of a Miller Lite truck.

To borrow the commercial's tag line, "Good call."

I have been saddened since Budweiser stopped using dalmatians in their own commercials.

My favorite part of Super Bowl Sunday, hands down.

No Superbowl party for me this weekend. I've met one New England fan in the past week. Everybody else: "Can't they both lose?"

That's OK, because I've been in homes where you watch sports with the sound off. Maybe the radio on if they like the announcers.

I will be watching and enjoying the commercials.

The party we went to last year was filled with people who went for the social aspect of a party and for the food.

I was a bit more than annoyed when people wanted to talk to me and stood in front of the TV to do it.
