Loved the Chrysler commercial, loved the Doritos ones, and loved the VW/Vader one. But I think my fave was the Best Buy commercial.
Sharon: What's a 6G?
Ozzy: What's a Bieber?
Audio Dude (Bieber in disguise): I don't know, but it kinda looks like a girl.
CLASSIC.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
If it ended with Ozzy biting Beiber's head off.

expect him to throw his cane at the kid. I haven't laughed so long in a good while.

February 7th, 2011 at 12:01 AM ^
Hahaha, I loved it!
But best serious one, was by far, the Chrysler commercial.

Groin shots are always funny.. Nice sell. Chrysler made a statement..
February 7th, 2011 at 12:14 AM ^
Loved the Vader kid (though as i said in the Super Bowl thread, watch it online, it's longer and funnier, as he gets more frustrated, and the payoff at the end is better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R55e-uHQna0&sns=em )
<br>
<br>Detroit/Chrysler commercial unexpectedly excellent. Though it would be funny to combine it with the Brisk commercial and have Claymation Em.
<br>
<br>Most of the other good one's are listed here too. I liked the beer product placement one too. Memorable, if not necessarily "good" was Kim Kardashian...just because; and the Captain America commercial, because even though it seems horribly miscast, it's really the first video we've seen of it. Thor looks better, but we've seen trailers of that.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:25 AM ^
Nice body double Kim.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:18 AM ^
As everyone else said, the Chrysler ad was awesome. Also liked the House one and the Vader clips. There was also some random Bud Light/Miller Light one that made me laugh, but I don't remember much else from the game.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:20 AM ^
The Houston Chronicle of all places has put it best so far:
"Chrysler: Imported from Detroit" This ad was serious and stirring and patriotic without a bunch of trite flag-waving, and it did the near-impossible, but what an ad is supposed to do: it made me feel like it's my patriotic duty to buy a Chrysler.
Not even kidding. I feel like I HAVE to buy a Chrysler now.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
I'm from a Ford family, but this isn't even a question. Imported from Detroit - that needs to become a slogan for the whole auto industry/state.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:27 AM ^
Em and Detroit by a landslide. Few commercials move the meter and make people see things in a different light; despite plant closures, bad politics and a generalizably difficult time that ad speaks to the pride I exhibited by the people I meet from Detroit area and Michigan more generally.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:26 AM ^
Is that even a real word?
February 7th, 2011 at 11:06 AM ^
is a perfectly cromulent word.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:56 PM ^
Neologisms, along with a noble spirit, embiggen even the smallest man.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:53 AM ^
But another one not mentioned that I really liked was the chimps pulling up next to the guy in the car and blocking him in. Really can't go wrong with commercials with chimps.
February 7th, 2011 at 10:16 AM ^
"Ron, did ya notice maybe you clipped me a little there?"
Haha, I too loved the CareerBuilder ad. Probably my second favorite after the Chrysler/Detroit spot. Loved the Volkswagen/Vader commercial too. Those were probably my top-3.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:59 AM ^
This one aired during Glee...anyone else find it shockingly inappropriate for network tv?
February 7th, 2011 at 1:10 AM ^
So it's not a good commercial, but I don't see it as inappropriate. Now, if they had shown Elizabeth Hurley's hardwood floors...
<br>
<br>(hmm, nevermind, I probably still wouldn't have complained, so I'm not a good judge...)
February 7th, 2011 at 1:17 AM ^
Wow, that is wildly inappropriate.
February 7th, 2011 at 1:24 AM ^
Not surprised that it was aired during Glee. No orifice too hairy, no pattern too intricate!
February 7th, 2011 at 1:01 AM ^
Even though I am a GM employee, I had to do some chest thumping after the Chrysler commercial. I liked the Club Fed (rich people/mobster prison), driving chimps, and Darth Vader commercials too. The Doritos ones plain sucked, and is it just me or should they put that fucking E*Trade baby out to pasture. Even the Budweiser frogs think that shits played out.
February 7th, 2011 at 1:16 AM ^
I was born and raised in the suburbs but my great grandpa worked in various factories in Detroit, one grandpa worked at Ford for 35+ years, other grandpa worked at GM for 9 before opening his own restaurant downtown, dad grew up in Detroit and followed in his father's footstep and opened a couple places of his own, multiple uncles worked for the Big 3, list goes on and on. I only ever went to Detroit for sporting events/concerts but that commercial made me feel proud that my family helped make that city great.
Listening to the voice over and Lose Yourself makes me want to go fight other cities. Yes, whole other cities.
February 7th, 2011 at 1:25 AM ^
Detroit could kick Cleveland's ass in a fight.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:28 AM ^
No question Jim.
February 7th, 2011 at 2:02 AM ^
The Detroit one wins by a landslide for sure.
February 7th, 2011 at 2:31 AM ^
Pepsi Max killed it this year.
February 7th, 2011 at 3:29 AM ^
You guys did see the brief Barry Sanders appearance in the Imported from Detroit commercial right? It was for like less than a second, which to me was subtle and went with the awesomeness of the commercial. Definitely my favorite commercial of the night.
Pepsi/Doritos (Pepsi owns Frito Lay) had a few goods ones as did Audi. I was overall disappointed with the commercials overall this year, Budweiser really did not do nearly as well as they normally do, though they did have some decent ones. They set the standard high every year, and I don't think they reached that standard this year.
February 7th, 2011 at 9:08 AM ^
Dressed up in an overcoat and hat, crossing the street?
I thought that was him.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
Damn I didn't think I could like that commericial any more than I did before I knew he was in it.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:10 AM ^
February 7th, 2011 at 8:31 AM ^
I didn't. I just watched it again. That was awesome.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:27 AM ^
Chrysler/Detroit. One of the best ever on TV.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:34 AM ^
The Chrysler/Detroit ad is getting rave reviews from all over. Many, outside of Michigan, are claiming it to be the nights best and most impactful ad:
Slate Magazine

USA Today's Ad Poll had the Chrysler/Detroit ad as a dismal 44nd. That was taken from a "second-by-second" reactions of a panel of volunteers. But really, can we trust the judgement of anyone who wants to participate in a panel rather than watch the game? I think not.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:57 AM ^
Although the car is only, meh, the commercial gave me chills. Was it just me or was an unholy percentage of this years commercials car commercials?
February 7th, 2011 at 9:41 AM ^
Chrysler's was great.
For funniest though, I will go with this:
Not being able to escape "Old Luxery." Sound familiar?
This one also got a chuckle out of me:
February 7th, 2011 at 9:49 AM ^
Laughed at Vader & Pepsi Max "I wanna sleep with her" ads. Moto Tablet ad was funny, did a great job of poking at Apple. But the Chrysler Ad hit a nerve unlike any other.
February 7th, 2011 at 10:11 AM ^
Followed closely by the attack Pug, because my parents have three Pugs and they look funny when they run.
And I agree with board sentiment regarding Imported from Detroit. Very powerful. Made me proud to say I was born in the D.
