bongobobny Posted February 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 7, 2011 Well, there has been threads on everything else Super Bowl, so how about the commercials?? I for one was disappointed this year. I think the clients should demand some of their money back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider Posted February 7, 2011 Share #2 Posted February 7, 2011 Several of these commercials really pushed the limits - but where incredibly funny. The Telefloral where the guy is trying to write his thought on the card (with Faith Hill - I think - just coaching him to write what was in his heart) ... classic. Beaver karma from Bridgestone. Pretty good. Bud Light commercials were so so. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJoe Posted February 7, 2011 Share #3 Posted February 7, 2011 The Doritos commercial could have been a home run... But I'm sure they would have gotten hammered If they had used a sexy swimsuit model to make sure the guys fingers got cleaned up... Very distasteful indeed...

Lone Eagle Posted February 7, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 7, 2011 Personally, I was very disappointed with the ads this year, didn't like any of them. Many were over the top violent, or left you wondering what it was they were hawking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfVenture Posted February 7, 2011 Share #6 Posted February 7, 2011 Record the game then start watching the recorded version around half time then skip thru all the commericials and the half time show. Good game. First I was for the Packers then in the 4th quarter I was for the Steelers to tighten up the game. I was acturally hoping the Steelers would have tied it up then in OT for the Packers to win it. I prefer a nail splitter of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted February 7, 2011 Share #7 Posted February 7, 2011 I liked the VW ad with the little kid in the Darth Vader outfit. I watched the commercials online I didn't watch the game. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynodon Posted February 7, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 7, 2011 Was good to see car companies being fun again. My favorite was the Chevy truck ad with the truck being Lassie. Funnnnneeeee! Second was the VW darth Vader commercial. Well done. The Chevy ad worked better from the standpoint of selling the product, the truck was in most shots, and did heroic things, and there was NO WAY you could miss who the ad was for, or easily forget it. The VW ad was less effective in that the car wasn't featured till the very end, so you have most of the commercial thinking about buying a STAR Wars movie, and if you miss the VW badge on the car, you can forget entirely who the ad is for. still I love it from a storytelling standpoint, just not from an advertising standpoint. Like the Herding cats commercial a few years ago. Who remembers who that was for? Great writing, idea etc, but BAD for the advertiser, no brand identity. Most super bowl commercials fail on the brand identity level. That is why the Chevy truck as Lassie was so great. Yes, I created and sold advertising for most of my working career.
