I don't actually care, but it seems like there should be a thread. My son's watching it streaming in the interwebs.

sports are not as interesting as they used to be. watch footage of bigfoot - it's almost as entertaining as I am, apparently.

Well, so far, the commercials are totally blowing hard.

yeah, it was looking bad that first quarter, just like everyone predicted the colts looked like they were going to pwn those noobs. good game, two best teams, tons of fun. definitely cool to see the saints win it.

Can we all stop saying the Super Bowl ads were disappointing? They're disappointing every year, they never live up to the hype, and the ones we now think of as being classics from the golden era are really completely lame, like the God-awful Budweiser frogs.

Our culture has set this huge media stage up to be a showing of the best of the best. Some of the best television advertising in history has debuted on said stage.

There are really only a few major annual broadcast events left that pull this size of audience. The Super Bowl and maybe the Grammys or the Academy Awards.

If an advertiser wants to reach the majority of the population in one blow, this is it.

So they absolutely have to make their experience incredible. Or it backfires massively - due to the pressure we put on them these days (it's called the BrandBowl now).

My opinion is that the majority of marketers this year didn't reach the endzone.

I thought some were funny but it was just lame because only 3 companies could afford to advertise apparently.

Every year it's like there are 3 or 4 pretty good ones (like the Punxatony Palomalu, that one killed me), a couple of solid re-visits of old ideas (the E Trade babies), and a bunch of commercials that were either really mediocre or tried too hard and missed the boat. I don't think this year stands out as being worse or better than any of the last 5.

I remember seeing the 1984 ad for the first time. We were so pumped.

I kind of liked the snickers ad with Abe Vigoda.

awesome game. its fun when you can watch with interest till the 4th quarter.

if you watch the superbowl for the commercials im glad you were not over at my house.

I don't really care about the super bowl very much. I care about the commercials far far less.


i was playing the guitar in bed, under the covers and i got my hands stuck under the strings. i could not free them, so i yelled for help and nobody came. finally, i had to bite the tips of my fingers off in order to free them - rssl

Awesome email from Bill Simmons' column:

I love the Colts. I love The Who. I became an atheist after last night. Thanks for listening.

The Who kind of stank pretty bad, right?

Wait--do you mean The Who put on a decent show, considering that they are senior citizens, or that The Who put on a decent show that senior citizens might enjoy--or both? Smile

Daltry was huffing and puffing and not moving much. I know it's stupid but I hate seeing bands I grow up with forced to sock puppet like this. It's like making Abe Vigoda play tackle football.

Saints or Colts?

You really think that last year was definitively better? You don't think that most marketers fall short most years?

What exactly are we looking for in these ads? I feel like every year people get all excited about the half time shows and the ads but then always complain that it didn't live up to their standards. Basically you are being let down by something you yourself over-hyped in the first place.

I did like this one a few years back though.



perfectly pointless, just as any of them really are. Then they get you in the end with a hook, what are you doing with YOUR money? That ones pretty good.

Yes. I think collectively, last year had better ads than this year. There are always more bad ads than good ads. I just think this year's number of "good ads" was fewer than I've ever seen in a Super Bowl.

Haha. Grammar fail. Embarassed

I still think Daltry's singing was passable, especially considering he's now 65ish.
