Subject: Favorite Superbowl Commercials

Written By: Ashkicksass on 02/08/10 at 2:38 pm

Well, the Superbowl is over folks. I know most people care about the game, but I am all about the commercials! (Unless the Packers are playing, of course. ;) ) What were your favorite ads of the day?

I know this one was a little odd, but it just struck me so funny:

I also loved this Doritos ad:

I don't care about the Superbowl commercials. Am I the only one who actually cares about...

...come to think about it, I don't care about the game either! Never mind.

Win: Abe Vigoda and Betty White, still kicking ass and taking names. (Close second - Leno and Letterman working together.)

Fail: Audi, Green Police. Lemme get this straight, environmentalists are fascist goons, but your car is so environmentally-friendly that it'll be accepted by them at an ecosecurity checkpoint!

By the time they got to the punchline, they'd manged to alienate both the Prius-driving ("The slower it is, the better, so long as it's Green!") and the Hummer-driving ("Big! Powerful! Shiny!") segments of the market. The intended message - that Audi offers a luxury performance sedan that isn't a complete gas hog, and/or that modern diesel engines are a hell of a lot quieter, completely non-smelly, more fuel-efficient, and more powerful than they were 10-20 years ago - was completely lost.
