I find myself saying this almost every year.  Seems like they get progressively less interesting.

I liked Chrysler's Em one, Motorola Xoom, and the Doritos bringing grandpa back from the dead.  Can't remember many others right now.

Chevy must have spent a fucking fortune tonight though, they were everywhere.

The hype usually overrides the actual product. But I thought this year was a modest step up. There were at least 2 I thought were great, and a number of other pretty good one's, with the usual array of clunkers.

It's not that superbowl commercials are getting worse per se, it's that advertising in general is getting a lot better. Companies used to spend SO much on just their superbowl ad, and not much on anything else, now EVERY commercial on TV is better than every commercial 10 years ago, so the superbowl ads don't seem as sweet since the bar has been raised all around.

I agree, most were "meh." I liked the VW, Chrysler, and Audi ones best myself.

One of my issues is that the ads are mostly dominated by 3 companies, it's just the same 3 companies (Doritos, Bud Light, Pepsi Max), and I think EDSBS pointed it out on twitter during the game.

The Bud light ones aren't that funny, I didn't see the Doritos one that riled up so much controversy, and the Pepsi Max ones were alright. But overall, the commercials were slightly amusing, nothing real special or outstanding.

That one and the Em/Chrysler one were the best.

After that, the Bud Light truck, VW/Vader, and the Snickers one that clobbered Roseanne with a log.

Vader was awesome but 'Imported From Detroit' is the absolute best tagline I've seen.  Totally inpiring commercial.  Anyone who lives in Detroit or works in the auto industry has got to be pumped up after seeing that ad.  Hell I'm in neither of those categories and I was pumped.  I know everyone likes to say that whatever they just saw was the best but that truly might be the best commercial I've seen.

"We don't care what you think of us" is precisely the opposite of the attitude espoused by the commercial.  "You should think better of us, because we made this frickin' sweet car" is what they're trying to tell you.

And they did it in a way that isn't likely to turn off anyone who wasn't already sworn to buy Toyotas for life, and would definitely appeal to 99.9% of people in one particular city.

Yeah, obviously.  That's what I said.  So what, exactly, about the commercial had a "We don't care what you think of us" attitude?

...and you'll see all the "wonderful" things the national media has to say about Detroit and the state of Michigan.

People outside the area have really forgotten that the city of Detroit and state of Michigan have done FAR more for America than America has done for them. You think the Allies win WW2 without the "Arsenal of Democracy"? Fat chance.

Nothing wrong with a little reminder now and then.

If you disagree, I'm gonna find you and punch a hole in your wall.

I don't care if it took a commercial to express it -- this entire state needs some god damn pride.  Have some pride in your home.  This is Michigan, for God's sake.

...and by that, I mean helter-skelter, willy-nilly and putt-putt!

Of course the Chrysler commercial, but the "Prison for Rich people" in the Audi commercial, was f-ing hilarious.

But for LAUGHS, I was really struck by the ending of the Pepsi Max commercial, where the wife threw the can at the husband and instead it struck the other woman in the head.

Also loved the takeoff on the classic coke commercial with House throwing his cane at a kid.

Loved the Chrysler commercial, loved the Doritos ones, and loved the VW/Vader one.  But I think my fave was the Best Buy commercial.

Ozzy: What's a Bieber?

Audio Dude (Bieber in disguise): I don't know, but it kinda looks like a girl.

CLASSIC.

I automatically downvote "B1G"

If it ended with Ozzy biting Beiber's head off.

How could you not expect that? It's the classic Mean Joe commercial and all he was holding was the cane. Nothing else to throw at him.
