Reposted on: 1.2.11 2239.13 | List off your top three commercials from tonight.
1. NFL Network - "Tommorow"
- Nothing like Warren Sapp and Zack Thomas singing showtunes.
2. Budweiser - "Yelling Like a Ref"
- Very few commercials made me laugh out loud tonight. This one did, the poor sap.
3. Mastercard - "The Simpsons"
- Just because. | Promote this thread! |             | kazhayashi81

Reposted on: 2.2.11 0240.42 | 1) The bear getting id'd writing a check for beer at the general store -- excellent!
2) I love the Clydsdales. The convincing speech by the donkey to get into the Clydesdale lineup -- awwwww! :-)
3) 1953, Seattle -- Jimi Hendrix, guitar, pawnshop -- very nice. (That was shown suprisingly late in the game -- odd.)
Honourable Mention: Viper the Border Collie cleverly fetches a Bud Light from the cooler for his owner. Angus the scroungy mutt takes a shortcut to acquire a Bud Light for his owner.
Honourable mention 2: "My family wanted an SUV but my husband was brought up by wolves."
I detest "Tomorrow" from "Annie", so that one didn't exactly rock my world.
"Troy" (opening on May 14) just nudged out "Van Helsing" (opening May 7) for the "How Far In Advance Can We Promo a Movie" award.
And don't forget the *2* mystery prescription drug commercials. At least one of them explained itself later on in the show. (Although, do you really need an erection to sit in separate bathtubs overlooking the ocean????) | Jericholic53

i think the commercial said it lasts for 36 hours, which is far and wide beyond ridiculous.
favorite 3 (in no particular order):
1. attaching aol 9.0 to the car and going back in time
2. the "holy $#!t = soap" car commercial
3. how a referee trains to deal with yelling
sadly i don't really remember which brand these were all specifically for. in addition, the general consensus of our living room was that the budweiser(?) commercial with the donkey was definitely the most "awwww that's so cute" commercial of the night. :-)

As for Van Helsing, it looks like it will be somewhat fun, but the effects look barely above made-for-TV movie quality. Troy could be fun. The desert horse race movie (can't spell the name, so I'm not even going to try) still looks like alot of fun and I've been seeing previews of that for a couple months now.

I think that was the Subway ad where they explained that when they said it was okay to be bad because you ate Subway, the badness only referred to breaking your diet, and not other general malevolent behaviour. | The Thrill

Reposted on: 2.2.11 1205.03 | As a bit of an advertising smark, I'd say this was one of the weakest run of commercials in quite a while. There were no commercials that stood out and made you say, "Man, I'll be talking about THAT tomorrow", and there were only a few that were barely memorable. That said, here's my Top 3:
1. "Simpsons"- Mastercard. Even though it was buried until late in the game, it was a brilliant take on the classic campaign.
2. "Tomorrow"-NFL Network. I wish they'd snuck a couple more of their ads in, because all of the NFL Network commercials have been gold. They're kind of like the "This is SportsCenter" campaign-funny, but not so over the top to be completely absurd.
3. "iTunes"-Pepsi. Because I've already won two free songs.
Honorable Mention: The Budweiser spots. They have very little to do with beer, but they're funny, so they get a pass.
Creepiest Ad: The Charmin "Snap" commercial. I can't even bring myself to type out why this commercial was so terrible, so I'll swipe a review from Adage.com: "Thunderously insipid football gag about somebody substituting -- are you ready for some hilarity? -- Charmin toilet paper for the towel the center has dangling from the back of his pants! Ha! And guess who, over on the sidelines, pulled the prank? The Charmin bear!! Har! What a zany unexpected gridiron twist! If you are a moron!"
Biggest disappointment: No Apple commercial? In my office, I have a poster celebrating the Macintosh's 20th anniversary. It's a picture of the woman from the legendary Super Bowl ad. She's still carrying her sledgehammer, determined to take out Big Blue, but now she's got a small accessory hanging off of her hip. It's an iPod. Considering Apple and BBDO essentially created the Super Bowl as commercial event 20 years ago, and considering it's the Mac's twentieth anniversary, I was surprised that Apple had no representation this year. | Lexus
