Super Bowl ads


I was very disappointed with the Super Bowl commercials this year as there were no monkey commercials and that is a crime!!!! However there are some I liked and here are my three favorites.

The absolute best in my mind was the Dodge Ram commercial with Paul Harvey's voice over of a Farmer. It actually brought tears to my eyes! How we as a nation miss the wordsmith and brut honesty of his simple way to craft a phrase!! The power of his delivery and respect he gave to all. Wonderful of Dodge ad men to pitch such a remarkable ad.

The second one I enjoyed was the goat eating Doritos!! It was very cleaver as I would never of thought of using a goat here would of in my mind been the monkeys!! It was a brilliant ad.

The third ad I enjoyed was the Budweiser Clydesdale ad. This mainly as I love the song Landslide indeed the song is one of my all time favorites. The premise is similar to adds Budweiser has had in the past but the song took it over the top.

A couple honorable mentions that didnt quite come up to being a good commercial but were decent to me were the Deion Sanders add and the Bud Lite chair was spot!

I think the worst add was the pistachio ad. I had no idea what that man was singing and there was no originality there.

All in all many adds were simply inane! The Go Daddy ad again this year went to the sleaze aspect of our nature but thankfully wasnt as distasteful as the Danica ads! The Subway february ad again lacked depth as did the eTrade baby ad. Have we seen the last of the baby!! I wish the Oreo library fight was silent in the sense it was never created! Audi fell flat as the ad itself was a black eye!!

So that is my view of the ads what did you think of them?

You really have to wonder with some of the ads, how a company can spend soooo much money to create the ad, and the millions paid to have it shown during the game.

With a few of them, I had no idea what they were even advertising!!
