ernierocker Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Hey guys, Now that the Super Bowl is halfway over and a lot of commercials have been played, let's talk about them! What are your favorites or least favorite so far?? General thoughts overall?
galindoverhere Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 My least favorite is the David Beckham one...
Schotcher Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Budweiser and Coke are lacking the bit of 'Oomph' to make their commercials "Super Bowl worthy" IMO. I liked the M&Ms commercial though.
QueerRudie Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 David Beckham: WINNING. Big time VW: Good start, flat finish. Chevy: Bad. David Beckham: WINNING WINNING WINNING! M&Ms: Good, but bland. Hopefully Q3-4's ads will be MUCH better.

I also liked the M&M's one... I'm waiting for the Dark Knight Rises commercial to come up but in the mean time...
sspaz1000 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 So far: Elton John Pepsi Commercial M & M's Sexy and I Know It Doritos with the dog burying the cat VW with the dog and vadar Polar Bear skating around commercial E*Trade Sort of liked the Doritos with the old lady commercial And what wasn't to like about seeing David Beckham nearly naked?
RideofSteel Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 My favorite so far has been the M&M's Sexy and I Know It as I posted in the other commercial thread too.
imawesome1124 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 The M&Ms one is my favorite so far. My least favorite, since I'm straight, is the David Beckham one. Edit: My new favorite is the Fiat 500 commercial with the hot chick.
galindoverhere Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Two words: Betty White! My eves are up here! So hilarious!
nitro4ever Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I have a question? This has been bugging me for a long time. I understand how people like to watch the Super Bowl, but really, THE COMMERCIALS!!!! They're commercials, I just don't understand why people are so fascinated with the commercials on during the Super Bowl. Everyone hates commercials any other time, but during the Super Bowl everyone loves them. How are they different than commercials at any other time of the year? I haven't been able to get a straight answer from anyone yet, I'm hoping someone here will be able to enlighten me on this matter............ :?
ernierocker Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 ^Is it really that difficult to understand? Commercials have always been a big part of the Super Bowl. With the amount of eyes on the games, companies spend millions of dollars on the commercials to get their product seen. They are traditionally the best/funniest/over-the-top commercials that you will see all year (besides when they are rerun later on) From the famous Jordan/Bird commercials to the Bud Bowl, people look forward to the commercials just about as much as the Super Bowl. Especially, if you don't have a team to root for in the game.
nitro4ever Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) This is why the Super Bowl scares me........ It has brainwashed people into believing commercials are interesting. WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO!!!! What's worse, we don't even know its happening to us..... Soon television is going to have channels that are exclusively commercials........and they will get top ratings!!!!!!! Edited February 6, 2012 by nitro4ever
ernierocker Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) ^You couldn't be more off base with that post. It is called entertainment. People like to be entertained. You are 15 years old, so you missed some of the classic Super Bowl commercials of the past years that have led to people looking forward to them every year. They aren't quite the spectacle they used to be (like an entire animated game involving bud light and budweiser bottles), but they are still entertaining. Now, let's stay on topic and discuss the commercials not why they exist... Edited February 6, 2012 by ernierocker
sspaz1000 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Adding to my list: the oikos commercial, the ferris buelleresque commercial, the voice with Betty white, the bud light with the rescue dog, and maxwell the geico pig street luging.
Jew Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Definitely the Transformers ride commercial during the pre game show!
Masquerade Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Best: Chevy Apocalypse. Worst: David Beckham standing around half naked to The Animals (why?).
coasterfreak101 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 The Voice with Betty White is my number one just because Betty White showed up, and that's reason enough! Followed by M&Ms and Elton John's Pepsi commercial. Even being gay, David Beckham just looked a little older and dryer (his face...) than usual. It wasn't great. Oh, and I liked when the cheetah tackled the guy. That one was worth a good chuckle.
154bmag Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 My favorite was the Doritos ad with the dog, and the Betty White ad. My least favorite were the 2 coke ads and the David Beckham ad.
BeemerBoy Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 This is why the Super Bowl scares me........ It has brainwashed people into believing commercials are interesting. People care about commercials 1 out of 365 days, and you're having a conniption fit over it? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO!!!! What's worse, we don't even know its happening to us..... Soon television is going to have channels that are exclusively commercials........and they will get top ratings!!!!!!! Non-stop advertising and merchandise sales on ONE CHANNEL?!?!?!? This can't possibly be! Hey there, chief, CLICK ME, CLICK ME!! The world is a commercial. Deal with it. Meanwhile, back on topic....can someone please tell Honda they failed? Do they actually realize how big the Ferris Bueller thing would have been had they kept it a secret prior to the game? Worst: David Beckham standing around half naked to The Animals (why?). Why? Um, because it sells a lot of underwear? Facts: - Many Super Bowls parties were held. - Both men and women attended many Super Bowl parties. - Women and gay men appreciate David Beckham standing around in his underwear. - Many men left Super Bowls parties thinking they'd attract more women if they wore that underwear. - It's pretty simple, really. - And wait, how is this any different from a Victoria's Secret ad???? The new Acura NSX won.
cfc Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 The talking e-Trade babies are the best argument for contraception that I can think of--not "cute," just creepy.
ernierocker Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 ^It is completely played out. Time for another direction for them. In case you missed them last night, here is a recap: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Top-10-Super-Bowl-XLVI-commercials-020512
netdvn Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I really liked the commercials this year. Most of them were pretty funny/flashy, which was cool. Some commercials that stood out.... - Both Doritos commercials. One of the commercials (the one with the dog burying the cat) actually starred a local guy. - The Honda one (Ferris Bueller) - Obviously the M&Ms one - The Bud Light commercial with the dog that grabs the Bud Light on command... The Budweiser ones were pretty good too. - The Clint Eastwood commercial. - The post-apocalyptic Chevy commercial looked nice. The other graduation Chevy commercial was hilarious though. - The Kia commercial - The Fiat commercial - The yogurt commercial - The Met Life commercial - The Tax Act commercial - The Transformers 3D commercial (obviously) Oh and I managed to see SFMM in a commercial too! Overall, it was a great game with great commercials. Hopefully next year will be as good if not better.
beyondthepalace Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 How about Samgsung's featuring The Darkness
