Super Bowl Commercials

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Discuss them please....

Hey, remember that fantastic Coke ad with Mean Joe Greene and the little kid from the '70s? If I told you that Coke planned on bringing them back as Coke Zero ads with Troy Polamalu, Polamalu's hair and an annoying little kid, you'd say, "That's a hideous idea; we should talk them out of it." Right? Well …
"So of the stories you told me, which ones were true?"
"All of them were true."
"What about the lies?"
"Especially the lies."

OK

Why did Budweiser switch over to the Clydesdale commercials, when most of them don't even compete with the classic Bullfrog commercials? I have yet to see a funny Clydesdale commercial...and I laughed at every Bullfrog one.

I totally agree, they butchered a classic.

I also loved NBC's commercial for its Monday night lineup in which the chick from "Medium" dances happily to "Feeling All Right" by Joe Cocker. Isn't "Medium" a depressing show about contacting dead people? I'm feeling all right! Oh-ho! I just contacted a 6-year-old dead girl trapped in purgatory! Oh-ho!
