Default What were your favorite Superbowl ads?

By far, mine were the Bridgestone Screaming Animals, E-Trade baby and the Clydesdale Training.

Default The best was...

those screaming animals. I laughed my ass off. I also laughed out loud at the end of that E-Trade commercial when the baby threw up all over himself.

LOL I was crying laughing at those animals. I also liked the E-Trade where the baby hired the clown. He "underestimated the creepiness".

The commercial announcing where you could buy your NY Giants Super Bowl Champs gear.

I'm not a fan of Manning but even less of a fan of the Patsies. 18 and uh-oh!

Was it just me, or did anyone else find the salesgenie.com ad rather offensive? It's the one with the animated panda bears speaking pidgen English in an exaggerated Chinese accent. The only saving grace was that they refrained from saying "Ah-so!"

What about the cartoon style one where the guy is East Indian (?) and says he has 7 children to support....I don't remember the rest of it, but I thought that was in poor taste. My kids said it reminded me of Apu from the Simpsons.

I thought it was just a stupid ad all around. They should have thought that out before they paid THAT much money to place that stupid ad.

My beautiful wife Susan & I seemed to agree that the one with the animated dancing Geckos to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (was that Beyonce?) and the Will Ferrell Pepsi ad toward the end were the two best, to us.

She liked the Justin Timberlake Pepsi ad as #3; my #3 was Bud's Clydesdale training commercial. How Bud can make those Clydesdale ads, year after year, not only be FUNNY but so emotionally touching as well, is amazing.
